UK (23-1, 9-0 SEC) will face Florida (19-4, 7-1 SEC) and its threatening 3-point shooters on Tuesday. The Gators as a whole shoot 40.2 percent from behind the arc, led by junior guard Kenny Boyn- ton, who averages 17.6 points per game and 43.8 percent from long range. “You just know that they’re going to take 30, however you guard it,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “Let’s make sure they’re guarded.” The Gators lead the SEC with 10.5 3-point makes per game. They’ve attempted at least 20 in every game and have made less than 25 percent in only two games. “If they make a lot of them (Calipari) said it’d be a hard game for us,” sophomore forward Ter- rence Jones said. “We’re just gonna have to play with our heads like we have the last couple games.” Florida head coach Billy Donovan said the Gators would take shots when they had the chance. “I don’t think you can be total- ly one-dimensional,” Donovan said. “But when we’re open, I want guys shooting it.” UK has had success guarding the perimeter this season, holding opponents to 31.6 percent shooting on the season. But it’s not just closing out to contest the three that has to hap- pen. Florida isn’t just a spot-up- and-shoot team. It uses off-ball screens and player motion to free up shots. “Their shooting comes as a re- sult of the things they do before that,” Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings said. “They get you into a est. 1892 | independent since 1971 | www.kykernel.com tuesday 02.07.12 40 29 rain/snow showers tomorrow’s weather index First issue free.

For most UK students, the Caribbeanmay be a spring break location.

But for members of the Caribbean Stu-dent Association, it’s a way of life.

“There are two objectives,” said LodzPierre, president of CASA, who is fromHaiti. “One, to unite people of Caribbeanancestry, and two, to educate other people.”

The Caribbean Student Association wasestablished in November 2011.

Members said it is important to buildcommunity and to help change misconcep-tions people may have of the Caribbean.

The current members represent Haiti,Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, PuertoRico, Martinique, Grenada and Jamaica.

“When you say you are Haitian, the firstthing that comes to peoples’ mind is Ja-maica,” said Jean Prucien, CASA coordina-tion director, who is from Haiti. “There’s alot more to the Caribbean than what we see.”

While studying in the U.S., CASAmembers said they have heard many stereo-types of the Caribbean.

Examples of these stereotypes includethe idea that there isn’t Internet in theCaribbean, the only genre of music is reg-gae and everyone walks barefoot on dirtroads, said Carlinthia Cox, CASA publicrelations chair who is from St. Lucia.

“Every island has its flavor,” Cox said.“We are more advanced than a lot of peoplegive us credit for.”

Jonathan Rivera, CASA secretary fromPuerto Rico, said he believes that Americanfilms have heavily contributed to stereo-types of the Caribbean.

“American cinema puts misconceptionson stuff,” Rivera said. “We are subjected toso many American perspectives that are notbased on facts, but what people weretaught.”

When it comes to fitting in and beingaccepted by American students, CASAmembers have each had different experi-ences — some better than others.

“It’s hard for internationals to feel athome,” said Angel Cartagena, CASA vicepresident and an exchange student fromPuerto Rico.

LOS ANGELES — Iconic metal band BlackSabbath could be facing another hitch in itsplans to re-emerge with a new tour and forth-coming album this year due to drummer BillWard’s unhappiness with the touring andrecording contact he was offered. Ward re-leased a public statement Thursday saying thatthe proposed agreement was “unsignable” andwould cause him to lose his “rights, dignityand respectability as a rock musician.”

The news comes less than a month afterthe band publicly revealed that it was forced topull out as headliners of this year’s Coachellafestival line-up due to guitarist Tony Iommi’slymphoma diagnosis. The band’s album, slat-ed for November of this year, has moved pro-duction over to the U.K., which Ward has yetto take part in. However, he has said that he’sready to get on a plane and record with origi-nal members Ozzy Obourne, Geezer Butlerand Iommi if he can work out a more suitablecontract.

“The place I’m in feels lousy and lonelybecause as much as I want to play and partici-pate, I also have to stand for something andnot sign on,” Ward said in a statement.

Though he declines to mention any detailsof his proposed contact, Ward says that he’sunable to get any information from the bandabout the status of the U.K. recording sessionsor whether or not there’s a possibility of himbeing replaced on the record or the tour.

While bickering over contract agreementshas nagged at the band’s previous reunion en-deavors, Ward — the band’s original drummersince 1968 — says he is holding out for re-spect, not money.

“After the last tour I vowed to never againsign on to an unreasonable contract,” Wardsaid. “I want a contract that shows some re-spect to me and my family, a contract that willhonor all that I’ve brought to Black Sabbathsince its beginning.”

time,” Sparks said, debunkingthe rumor. Cortez said the out-fits mean many loads of laun-dry.

As for questions fromprospective students, the tourguides said one topic usuallycomes up.

“How hard is it to get bas-ketball tickets?” Cortez said.

Sparks and Cortez saidclass size, Kentucky weather— “It’s Kentucky, it’ll changetomorrow” — and how to getinvolved are also common top-ics.

As for the art of walkingbackward, Sparks said that’snot how UK tour guides showpeople around campus. Instead,they like to walk with familiesand get to know them, thenturn around on each stop toface the group.

Cox agreed.“I think we’re cool,” Cox

said. “Not the backwards walk-ing, geeky tour guides.”

The tour guides also have afew crazy stories from theirtours.

“My very first tour, I felldown the steps ofFunkhouser,” said Ethan Ritter,an animal science and biologyjunior, who also said a womanpeed on herself during one ofhis tours.

Ritter said it’s also neatwhen to students he’s led ontours as students at UK orwhen parents say, “You’re thereason my kids are at UK.”

“A lot of food that we eatis like the old American men-tality where we use every partof the body and have well-balanced meals,” Rivera said.

Some Caribbean foodsinclude beans and rice, friedplantains, goat, root vegeta-bles and homemade breadand fruit juices.

“People have food shopsin their houses and on thestreet,” Pierre said.

Prucien said he does notwant people to think thatstreet food stands are the onlyvendors that exists.

“People still sell on theside of the road, but we alsohave five-star restaurantsand Dominos Pizza,” Coxsaid.

Three important things totheir culture are diversity inlanguages, dancing and Car-nival, which is a three-daycelebration with street partiesand food.

Common languages ofthe Caribbean include French,Creole, Spanish and Patois (abroken English).

“When I hear that some-one is from Haiti, I start tospeak the language,” Pierresaid. “It makes you feel warmand comfortable.”

CASA members said they

wanted to create an environ-ment that allows students tosocialize with others from asimilar background and cul-ture, as well as inform peopleabout the Caribbean.

“They wanted a groupthat was welcoming for oth-ers and was grounded and im-portant,” said JacquelineCouti, CASA adviser fromMartinique. “It’s nice to havean organization that’s ground-ed in reality.”

CASA will be hosting aCaribbean dance class Thurs-day, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. in theStudent Center Martin LutherKing Jr. Cultural Center. FreeCaribbean food will be pro-vided.

out on tourOn Wednesday afternoon,

Cortez and Adam Schilt, a sec-ondary English education sopho-more, led two families on the 90-minute tour around campus.

The first stops included Pat-terson Office Tower — whichCortez described as a “NorthStar” for getting around a bigcampus — White Hall ClassroomBuilding and Maxwell Place.

After leaving the president’shome, Cortez and Schilt lead thetour to the W. T. Young Library.On the way, Cortez said it’s im-portant to keep a certain pace,so he doesn’t compress the tour.

Once at the library, the tourstopped outside the grass bowlfacing Rose Street. There, Cortezand Schilt pointed out the direc-tional cues to give their group asense of place: the Fifth ThirdBank building downtown, Patter-son Office Tower, Memorial Hall’ssteeple and the Kirwan-BlandingTowers on South Campus.

Speicher said this stop is herfavorite part of the tour becauseit’s where “UK skrinks” and peo-ple realize campus is smallerthan they think.

From there, the tour headedinside the library to a tapestry ofWilly T. himself.

This is where Sparks sharesone of her favorite facts aboutthe man whose name is on the li-brary: while Young had moneyfrom horseracing, he was the in-ventor of Jif Peanut Butter.

She said if it’s a rainy or hu-mid day, she asks if her group

can smell the peanut butterfrom the factory on WinchesterRoad.

After the library, the tourcrossed University Drive to SouthCampus, where it stopped byBlanding I, so prospective stu-dents and their families couldsee what a “traditional” dormroom looks like.

After seeing the room, thetour headed to the Johnson Cen-ter, where intramurals and recre-ational activities are discussed.

Cortez and Schilt stoppedtheir tour by Donovan Hall,where Cortez shared his favoritefact — the rooms were built tohouse three football players, butnow house two girls.

The final stops on the tourwere Funkhouser and MemorialHall.

Jordan Farmer, a 17-year-oldsenior from Meade County,toured the campus with her par-ents and brother. She said UK isone of her four options for col-lege.

“(I’m) retouring with accept-ance in mind,” Farmer said, not-ing that a deciding factor for heris how big she wants her collegeto be.

Maggie Erdmire, a 17-year-old senior from Chicago, went onthe tour with her dad. Erdmirehad never been on campus be-fore, but her dad s-aid he had 30years ago for a basketball game.

She doesn’t want to go to aschool that’s too small, Erdmiresaid, and she liked UK because itfelt more like a campus than asmaller school she’d visited.

The ONE campaign has joined thecampus network, and now we are lookingto reach UK students and let them knowabout the cause we are fighting for.

What is the ONE campaign? It is a stu-dent organization that’s combating disease,famine and poverty in places where theseissues prevent human life from flourishing.

Through local advocacy we can raiseawareness and educate the public so theycan share their voices with our congres-sional representatives who will ultimatelydecide future public policies.

For example, AIDS is problematicacross the world; however, it is at its worston the African continent. Currently, infec-tion outpaces treatment by a two to one ra-

tio, but through the collaboration of African governments, or-ganizations, private sectors and the support of the world, thebeginning of the end of AIDS is tangible.

The ONE campaign aims to end this pandemic by 2015by ending mother-child transmission of HIV, providing treat-ment to the 15 million people who need it and reducing newinfections.

The most effective method in combating famine andpoverty is through agricultural progress. Through stability andimprovement of farming technique, people can gain agricul-tural independence to feed their families and local community.

These are the issues we as ONE members recognize.The way to accomplish these ambitious goals is through

ONE challenges. The upcoming challenge is called, “SavingLives’ Through SMS.”

In countries where landlines are not established, cell-phones are used in the health and medical sector so cliniciansand patients can communicate to resolve medical emergenciesin a safe and timely manner.

The UK ONE campaign will be holding a campus-wideused cellphone drive to assist health care workers and reachthe goal of 35,000 cellphones!

ONE campaign, many voices, 35,000 cellphones.Join us and fight for humanity by liking the UK ONE

campaign Facebook page and by coming out to one of ourevents or meetings. For further information contact Sarah VanRoyen at [email protected]

As the spring seasonquickly approaches, manyfashion houses and maga-zines are posting the avail-ability for their summer 2012internships.

Now more than ever,many companies are requir-ing that the intern receiveschool credit for their timethat may or may not includea daily stipend.

Just last week, formerHarper’s Bazaar internXuedan Wang sued Hearst(Harper’s publisher) for vio-lating state and federal wageand hours laws, and has be-

come a big buzz in the mag-azine industry.

According to fashion-ista.com, Wang’s lawsuitstates, “the prevalence of thepractice nationwide, curtailsopportunities for employ-ment, (and) fosters class divi-sions between those who canafford to work for no wageand those who cannot.”

I’m not quite sure ifWang was initially promisedsome form of payment priorto the start of her internship,but as a former intern in thefashion magazine industrylast summer, I both under-stand and agree with Wang’scase.

Yes, internships provideinterns will valuable experi-ences and relationships andthe obvious added bullet toone’s resume.

However, simply receiv-

ing academic credit withoutany type of cash flow canlead to problems.

I know a few fellow in-terns who worked with me inNew York City who werefrom the midwest and had tofoot the bill of living expens-es for the span of threemonths, plus transportationto the internship, etc.

Not to mention having topay for the school credithours.

One anonymous editortold fashionista.com that in-ternships are for those withaccess to money.

“(Internships) foster andencourage (kids who have ac-cess to money) — not the kidwho actually has to pay his orher own bills,” she said.

Another anonymous edi-tor showed less sympathy,saying, “I see magazines as acompetitive industry that iscloser to acting or art than,say, investment banking. Inany creative industry, the firstjobs are low paying (or don’t

pay at all) and people have towork other jobs or borrow tocounterbalance those dispari-ties.”

It is understood that sac-rifices must be made in lifeto achieve certain goals, butto what extreme does it gowhen the intern’s parents youare competing against lie in amuch higher tax bracket?

As you go out in pursuitof your dream internship, al-ways keep in mind whereyou see yourself being and ifthat internship is best suitedfor you to get there.

Shelisa Melendez is ajournalism and merchandis-ing, apparel and textiles sen-ior.

Florida guard BradleyBeal said over the weekendthat he and his teamwouldn’t be intimidated com-ing into Rupp Arena, would-n’t be daunted by facing No.1 UK.

“We have the swagwhere we're going to com-pete hard and try to get thewin,” Beal said, according toThe Gainesville Sun. “We'renot going in there with anydoubts just because they areKentucky.”

But UK’s got swag tomatch.

“Confidence in your ownstyle of play,” Terrence Jones

said when defining it for agroup of reporters who mayor may not have actuallyknown what the wordmeans. “I think we have alot of it, too.”

UK will need plenty as itembarks on the portion ofthe SEC schedule that actual-ly poses a challenge.

The opening SEC slatefeatured nine games againstseven opponents. Thoseteams are a combined 19-38in conference play.

The upcoming slate fea-tures seven games againstfive opponents. Those teamsare a combined 22-18. Takeaway Georgia, and thatrecord moves to 21-11.

So yeah, it’s about to gettougher.

It’s also a chance for UKto prove its recent dominancehas been more a product ofits own play and not its op-

ponents’ vast inferiority. TheCats are No. 1 for a reason,to be sure. It can solidify thatthinking over this nextstretch.

To do so, UK will haveto find a balance in its men-tality. Calipari said he wouldtalk to his team about stayinghumble through its achieve-ments.

“There’s an easy transi-tion from a swagger to arro-gance,” Calipari said, “andthat’s where you get beat.”

Which led to the ques-tions about swag. Of all theintangibles that could betalked about with this game— leadership, heart, evenCalipari’s favorite will towin — it’s a word that alsodoubles as a description forclothes.

I sometimes wonderwhat players like Jones real-ly think as they have to

stand against a wall and talkabout the merits of suchthings.

Regardless, Calipariwants his team to have swag-ger, but not too much. It’s theold confident-not-cockymantra of finding that fineline between two inexactcharacteristics.

To do so, UK needs toremember what got it towhere it is now — 23-1, aNo. 1 ranking — starting toemerge as the designated“elite” team in the nation.

Which also becomes oneof the things we talk aboutwhen a team has so muchgoing for it. After beating itslast three opponents by acombined 83 points, have theCats peaked too early? It is,after all, early February.

Calipari said he believesin the theory that a team canpeak too soon.

“I’ve seen teams comeout of the gate and I’m like,‘There’s no way they can

sustain this,’” Calipari said.“There’s too much road be-tween now and the end ofthe season.”

UK still has plenty ofroad left. Seven regular-sea-son games, then (for the situ-ation that matters most) threeSEC Tournament games andsix NCAA Tournamentgames.

But Calipari doesn’tthink this team has maxedout yet. He noted defensivebreakdowns against SouthCarolina as opportunities forimprovement. And with ateam full of young players,they’re individual talent willcontinue to increase over thenext two months, whichpushes up the ceiling for thewhole team.

Another easy way to

guard against UK gettingcomplacent? That tougherupcoming schedule. The Catscan’t relax if it wants to fin-ish out the season at optimalstrength, starting with confer-ence second-place Florida.

Note, though, that optimalstrength is not defined only bywins and losses. If UK winsout and finishes the regularseason on a 22-game winningstreak, fine. If UK drops oneor two, but keeps getting bet-ter, regains that tinge of vul-nerability that drives themeven further, fine.

“If they really, truly wantto do something unique andspecial, every one of theseexperiences is building to-ward March,” Calipari said.“Everything. Our whole sea-son is about that.”

scrambling rotation mode.”UK players see the long-

range game as an acceptablestrategy.

“It’s an OK way to play,”Jones said. “You can live ordie by it.”

So far, Florida has beenliving by it.

Six players have shot atleast 28 3-pointers and madeat least 34 percent of them.

Even 6-11 forward Erik

Murphy isn’t afraid to step outbehind the arc. He’s taken 24shots and hit 75 percent ofthem.

Match up Florida’s outsidethreats with sophomore DoronLamb’s shooting game, andbehind-the-arc play could takeover.

Lamb shoots 47.8 percentfrom the perimeter and aver-ages 13.5 points per game.

But the Cats don’t thinkthey’ll fall into matching Flori-da three-for-three.

“I think Coach does a real-ly good job of making us run

our offense,” Jones said.One thing UK will have to

make sure to do is get long re-bounds after missed threes.Calipari said it will fall on theguards to move to the elbowsand be ready to rebound. Hesaid that’s been an issue forthe Cats this year, but one thatneeds to be resolved.

Calipari said this Floridateam went through a similarstretch as the Cats, lackingphysical play in a few gamesof the season.

“They went through thatstretch (when) they weren’t

physical enough and (Dono-van) had those killer prac-tices,” Calipari said, “and nowall of the sudden it’s changedthe dynamic of their team.”

In the bulk of their sched-ule, the Cats aren’t shyingaway from tough SEC teamsas conference play comes to aclose and the rest of their sea-son gets more competitive.

“We feel every team weplay is real good, which makesus step it up,” Jones said. “Ithink that’s what we’re gonnahave to depend on this nextgame.”
