A year ago, UK lacked confidence in its future.The Presidential Search Committee was ready to re-
lease the name of one finalist for president, whom theBoard of Trustees would approve.
No one but the members of the committee knew theidentities of the finalists. They didn’t know if the nextpresident would be someone already involved with UK,a prominent Kentuckian or an official from outside thecommonwealth altogether. They didn’t know if he orshe would be business-oriented like predecessor LeeTodd or focus largely on UK’s Top 20 goal.
It was a period of transition, one that left people inthe dark about who would be UK’s 12th president andwhere he or she would lead the university.
After a seven-month long search to replace formerPresident Todd, the UK Board of Trustees unanimouslyselected Eli Capilouto on May 1, 2011, to become theface of the university.
Almost one year ago, Capilouto was introduced tocampus as president. At one of the first meet-and-greetforums, he joked with students that he thinks muchfaster than he talks.
And once he assesses a situation, he not only thinksfast, but he acts quickly, too.
“The speed and professionalism of this process hasbeen incredible,” said Board of Trustees Chairman BrittBrockman about current campus construction on a newresidence hall, which was approved in February. “Andit hasn’t cut corners for expediency’s sake. They literal-ly looked under every rock.”
Looking under every rock is what Capilouto set outto do in his first 100 days as president. He met withhundreds of groups, asking questions and listening toanswers.
“He was trying to understand the institution, get asense of the challenges,” UK spokesman Jay Blantonsaid.
Blanton, who works closely with Capilouto doingmedia relations, said the amount of time Capilouto in-vested the summer before he officially started at UKwas instrumental for him.
“It was remarkable the things he did before he for-mally arrived,” Blanton said.
From a closed presidential search process to a yearfocused on openness and transparency, Capilouto quick-

Former President Bill Clinton encour-aged Fayette County students to be environ-mentally conscious during a speech at RuppArena Monday.
Clinton spoke as part of the BluegrassYouth Sustainability Council Earth Day Cel-ebration.
According to its website, the councilformed in November 2010 and is an organi-zation of environmentally passionate stu-dents from Fayette County's five publicschools, Sayre School, Lexington CatholicHigh School and Lexington Christian Acade-my.
Clinton’s foundation, the William J. Clin-ton Foundation, seeks to improve globalhealth and protect the environment by foster-ing relationships among governments, busi-nesses, nongovernmental agencies and pri-vate citizens, according to the foundation’swebsite.
Clinton also stopped by campus and vis-ited the Joe Craft Center, where he saw theCats’ eighth national championship trophy.

This summer will be all aboutsalads, sandwiches, soups andsmoothies at the Hilary J. BooneCenter — and you don’t have to be amember of the club to benefit.
A new dining option, dubbed theBoone Center Grill, will offer amenu with the aforementioned food,
with options of outside seating, take-out or on-campus delivery. The grillwill be open May 1 through Septem-ber 28. Delivery is limited to ordersof $75 or more in the campus vicini-ty.
The atmosphere will be casual,said Seth Russell, executive chefat the Boone Center. Prices run be-tween $8 and $10 a dish, and thegrill will feature fresh fruit
smoothies that can substitute soymilk for those who are lactose in-tolerant.
The grill, located at 500 Rose St.on the Boone Center’s outside patio,will be open to the public throughoutthe summer. On rainy days, takeoutand delivery options will still beavailable. The terrace seats about 30people, Russell said.

‘Capping’first year
One reason behind theopening is to “give people ataste of the Boone Center,”Russell said.
Many people — especial-ly students — don’t knowwhat the Boone Center is,Russell said, and a public din-ing option is a way to drawnew people and prospectivemembers in.
Ginny Adkins, the BooneCenter’s marketing and wed-ding coordinator, said the grillwould be a great place tobring campus visitors.
“It’s a welcoming facilitythat they can enjoy whilethey’re here,” she said.
The menu features fivesandwich options, three sal-ads and five smoothies, alongwith side dishes such aschips, fruit, and potato andpasta salads.
A staple is the BooneCenter Burger, piled with All-tech Angus beef and Ken-tucky Proud vegetables, Rus-sell said. Another is theTurkey Avocado Club, a
sandwich almost too tall toeat, which includes bacon,lettuce, tomato, avocado andsprouts. Wraps, a chickenmuffaletta, and Caesar, Italianand Cobb salads round outthe entree choices.
Russell said the $10 andunder price range is compa-rable to other area restau-rants.
Adkins and Russell saidthey think the grill be will anoption for future summers on
campus.Boone Center Grill’s
hours will be 11:30 a.m. to 2p.m. Monday through Friday.Food can be ordered for de-livery by calling 859-257-1133.

LOS ANGELES — “The Hunger Games” se-quel “Catching Fire” will likely be directed byFrancis Lawrence, a filmmaker whose résuméincludes the big-budget event film “I Am Leg-end” and the intimate drama “Water for Ele-phants,” a person close to the production butnot authorized to speak publicly confirmedThursday. According to that person, the studiohas yet to close the deal.
Independent studio Lionsgate offeredLawrence the job on Thursday, little more thana week after “Hunger Games” director GaryRoss departed in a dispute over financial termsand the amount of time he would have had toprepare to make the sequel, which starts pro-duction in August and will hit theaters in No-vember 2013.
Lionsgate considered a number of direc-tors for the job, including Tomas Alfredson(“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”), Tony Scott(“Unstoppable”) and Stephen Daldry (“Ex-tremely Loud and Incredibly Close”). ByWednesday, the negotiations were down toLawrence and Bennett Miller, the Oscar-nom-inated director of “Moneyball” and “Capote.”
Lawrence had been considered the leading
candidate, however, because his schedule wasopen; Miller was supposed to begin shootinganother movie, “Foxcatcher,” this fall. In addi-tion, Lawrence has experience with the type ofspecial effects necessary to make “CatchingFire.”
Bringing in a new director to a popularfranchise is a tricky proposition, though Lion-sgate subsidiary Summit did it successfullywith its “Twilight” series. In Lawrence, thestudio apparently believes it has found a direc-tor capable of balancing the high-octane ac-tion, personal relationships and social com-mentary that many critics praised Ross forcapturing in “The Hunger Games.”
Lawrence will have to move quickly toprepare to start shooting “Catching Fire.”Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy is currentlyworking on a script for the film.
The 42-year-old Lawrence was born inAustria and worked on music videos and com-mercials before making his feature film debutin 2005 on the comic-book adaptation “Con-stantine,” starring Keanu Reeves.

UK Athletics has had much tocelebrate over the course of this year,which is what it did at the 10th annualCATSPY Awards Monday night inMemorial Coliseum.
The CATSPY Awards is an annu-al banquet, similar to the ESPYAwards hosted by ESPN. The cere-mony honors student athletes, coach-es and staff from UK’s varsity sports.
Among all the teams honored,women’s basketball, rifle and men’stennis were recognized for their SECChampionship titles, as well as men’sbasketball for the coveted NationalChampionship title.
UK head coach John Caliparisummoned these outstanding teams tothe stage and congratulated them onwhat he coined as their “champi-onship culture.”
Matthew Mitchell, head coach ofwomen’s basketball, along with Cali-pari were named the 2012 Coaches ofthe Year, after seeing success on thecourt from both teams this season.
“This was a very special season.We can’t do it without the players,”Mitchell said. “We were very de-manding of them and they respondedwith a championship. I’m very fortu-nate to coach them and I’m very for-tunate to get to coach at a place I lovelike Kentucky. It’s just an honor.”
The Rookie of the Year awardswere given to Bria Goss and MichaelKidd-Gilchrist from the women’s andmen’s basketball teams, respectively.This award is given to two studentathletes who excel throughout theirfreshman seasons.
“I had lots of support from myteammates and coaches, and I justfeel really blessed to be in this situa-tion,” Goss said.
The most esteemed awards of thenight, Mr. and Miss Wildcat, areawarded to two student athletes, onemale and one female, who excel onand off the court. This year saw an
unprecedented five recipients for thisaward. Ann Armes, a volleyball sen-ior, Rachel Riley, a softball senior,Keyla Snowden, a women’s basket-ball senior, Luis Orta, a cross countryjunior, and Eric Quigley, a seniormember of men’s tennis, were allhonored with this award.
The night concluded with closingremarks by UK Athletic DirectorMitch Barnhart.
“This has been a very specialyear,” Barnhart said. “There is an aw-ful lot of people in this room that Iam so proud of because you have rep-resented Kentucky well.”

With the recent momen-tum brought to a screechinghalt by the bats of MississippiState, UK softball head coachRachel Lawson and her Catsaim to get back on track foran appearance in the SECwith the club’s final non-con-ference game against More-head State (12-31, 5-17OVC) on Tuesday.
The Eagles last playedUK (23-26, 10-12 SEC) in2010 when they fell 3-0 tothe Cats in Lexington.
The loss came despiteMorehead State pitcher hold-ing the Cats to only four hitsin the game, but a three-run
homer was enough to propelUK to the win.
During this go-around,fans could expect to see muchof the same with the hot andcold effect that often takesover the UK bats.
UK enters the game withsenior Brittany Cervantes,junior Kara Dill and fresh-man Griffin Joiner holdingtheir own at the plate againstopposing pitchers.
While Dill’s average tooka four-point hit over the roadtrip, the junior still posts ateam high .375 average, 63hits and 34 runs.
Mississippi State, unlikeother teams in recent weeks,was able to prevent Cervantesfrom hitting a home run and
slowed her completely withthe exception of two hits ingame the Cats’ game twoloss.
Joiner has soared in recentweeks. During the road tripshe was one of the most de-pendable offensive producers.
She managed a hit in eachof UK’s losses over the week-end and collected four hitsand two RBIs Wednesday indouble-header wins over OleMiss.
The improvement at theplate has earned her a .312batting average and 43 hits,both second to Dill.
Those bats, along withthe rest of the UK lineup, willlikely face either Eagles Jun-ior pitcher Katie Pfost or sen-
ior Jami Whitcomb.Pfost leads her club with
a 3.00 ERA and 83 strikeoutsin 109.2 innings.
Whitcomb comes in sec-ond in the rotation with a5.02 ERA and 31 strikeouts.
First pitch for the Catsand the Eagles is scheduledfor 4 p.m. Eastern time at theUK Softball Complex.

ly established what type ofpresident he would be.
He previously served asthe provost at the University ofAlabama at Birmingham.
At UAB, Capilouto helpedthe hospital-oriented universitymake undergraduate educationjust as strong.
“We couldn’t be morepleased with the president wehave chosen,” Brockman said.
A new directionThe closed presidential
search was met with contro-versy on campus. Somethought keeping candidates’identities confidential wasn’tfair to members of the UKcommunity.
There were frustrationsamong the faculty since theprocess of choosing a presi-dent began last year, said Dr.Hollie Swanson, the FacultySenate chair.
“They felt like he waschosen fort h e m , ”S w a n s o nsaid. “Theyreally didn’thave the in-put thatthey want-ed. And sohe’s had tow o r kagainst thatcoming in.”
B r o c k -man said he believes a closedpresidential search was a goodprocedure.
“Had we not had theprocess, I believe we may nothave ended up with a presi-dent as qualified as Eli Capi-louto,” he said.
Capilouto began his presi-dency in the wake of the 10-year tenure of Lee T. Todd Jr.,a Kentuckian who pushed forUK to become a Top 20 re-search institution by 2020.
One question when Capi-louto arrived on cause wayswhether he would continuethis dream or take the univer-sity in a different direction.
During the October Boardof Trustees retreat, it quicklybecame clear where the focusof the president’s efforts neededto be: undergraduate education.
“A president can do a lotof different things,” Blantonsaid. “It’s amazing to me howmuch he stays focused on thatfundamental — of enhancingundergraduate education.”
The Board decided its goalwas to improve the undergrad-uate experience and that be-came Capilouto’s top priority.
“Students have alwaysbeen first to me, and Kentuckystudents are first,” Capiloutosaid at the Board retreat.
With 81 percent of campusfacilities rated fair to poor,Capilouto, along with thetrustees, decided that in orderto improve the undergraduateexperience, something neededto be done about facilities.
“We, as a board, andPresident Capilouto felt thecore campus has been neglect-ed somewhat over the past sev-eral years,” Brockman said.
The emphasis was placedon revitalizing and renovatingcampus, a large task Capiloutowas charged with accomplish-ing.
“UK building age andgross square footage is theworst in the state system,” a2007 report from facilities
planning and managementcompany VFA said.
The report, presented totrustees at the retreat, also rec-ommended that 12 buildingsbe demolished and 29 build-ings be renovated or reas-signed to other uses.
“With a fierce sense of ur-gency, we begin to think anewand rebuild this campus so wecan overcome that which con-fronts us,” Capilouto said inhis investiture speech in Octo-ber.
Dr. Michael Karpf, execu-tive vice president for healthaffairs, said Capilouto quicklyrealized the campus structureis inadequate.
“He’s a very experiencedacademic administrator,”Karpf said.
Capilouto realized that ifUK is going to continue to re-cruit the best students, “thestudent life has to be better,”Karpf said.
Micah Fielden, the outgo-ing Student Government presi-dent, said at the Board retreatthat students felt neglected be-
cause campus facilities areoutdated.
“Our university, right now,is being set up for success andit’s going to be greater thananything we’ve ever done be-fore,” Fielden said recently.“Everybody has been workingtogether.”
One of the people workingon revitalizing campus is Ang-ie Martin, UK’s vice presidentof financial operations andtreasurer. For months, she hasbeen working on the campusconstruction plan.
Early on, Capilouto askedMartin to organize a housingcommittee to offer recommen-dations on how to proceed asquickly as possible.
“He really listened to whatthe group said and pushed tostay on time,” she said.
The construction plan thatshould have taken a year and ahalf was finalized in just half ayear, Martin said.
Within a month of theBoard retreat, where goalswere set for construction,Capilouto announced theframework for a multi-yearcampus building and renewalproject.
The Board approved aground lease agreement onFeb. 21 with Education RealtyTrust, a private firm fromMemphis, Tenn., that will con-sist of a 50-year contract. Theprivate partnership with EdRis the largest of its kind.
“That’s very quick, notjust for a university, but I thinkit’s quick for any institution,”Blanton said.
The groundbreaking of theNew Central Residence Hallon Haggin Field April 17marked the beginning of whatwill eventually be a campusoverhaul. The university plansto open residence halls thatwill include up to 9,000 mod-ern beds.
“Today we break groundon more than one building,”Capilouto said at the ceremo-
ny. “We’re breaking ground ona brighter future for our stu-dents, faculty and staff.”
A thoughtful leaderAs Alabama natives, Presi-
dent Capilouto and his wife,Dr. Mary Lynne Capilouto, hada lot of learning to do about theuniversity and Kentucky.
“(They have) fallen in lovewith the place, caring deeplyabout where it is going andwhere its future is,” Blantonsaid.
The Capiloutos havequickly adjusted to Kentucky,Blanton said, and were able tounderstand how the universityis tied to the commonwealthearly on.
“It seems like they’vebeen here a long time,” hesaid.
Through a year of learningabout the university, Capiloutohas shown he can be quiet. Heis one to sit and observe, ratherthan be the center of attention.
“His whole approach isvery thoughtful,” Fielden said.“He likes to know a situation
before he makesa decision.”
As a leader,Capilouto hasbeen describedas focused,honest and pas-sionate.
“He has aunique combi-nation as aleader — asboth being very
creative and hav-ing a vision, as well as beingvery methodical,” Martin said.
Both Blanton and Karpfdescribed Capilouto as honest,but kind.
“He’s a direct and straight-forward guy. He says what’son his mind and does it in anice way,” Karpf said.
Capilouto’s intelligence isalso a characteristic that manyappreciate.
“What I enjoy is his intel-lect. What I enjoy is his abilityto listen. He has an incredibleway of getting the facts beforehe formulates an opinion,”Brockman said.
Capilouto is not a politicalperson and isn’t affected byothers’ opinions,Karpf said
“He is a man of strongconvictions and he will dowhat he thinks is the rightthing,” he said.
A look aheadAs construction for a new
residence hall is under way,the state legislature recentlycut UK’s general fund budgetby 6.4 percent, which is nearly$20 million.
It is one of the largest sin-gle cuts in UK’s history.
“Challenging budgets andhard decisions, however, can-not be an excuse to shrinkfrom our responsibilities,”Capilouto said in an emailsent to campus. “We must re-main true to our foundingmission and think anew abouthow to accomplish ourgoals.”
The state also denied UKfunds for agency bonds, mean-ing UK wasn’t given the au-thority to use university-gener-ated money to improve cam-pus facilities.
“He’s basically now in asituation where he’s got to fig-ure out how to do more withless,” Brockman said.
Recently, Capilouto an-nounced that the Board ofTrustees will evaluate a pro-posal that would increase tu-
ition by 6 percent.As he moves forward with
construction, though, Karpfsaid he thinks Capilouto willcontinue to be creative withfinding alternative fundingsources.
“I think he’ll surprise peo-ple and come up with otherprojects,” Karpf said.
Swanson said the moneyis going to be the biggest
struggle.“I’m optimistic. I know
we have challenges. I haveconfidence we’re on a goodpath,” she said.
When Capilouto said hewould not take his bonus,Swanson said she appreciatedhis integrity.
“You need to see that kindof leadership at the top. It’sthat shared sacrifice that has
resonated,” she said.As Capilouto’s first year
concludes, a countless numberof challenges await him andthe university in the future.
“His quiet confidence andhis engagement of people isgood for this university in atime of financial challenge,”Karpf said. “He actually is theright guy at the right time forUK.”

Wendell Berry deliveredthe National Endowment forthe Humanities lecture Mon-day.
Berry gave his JeffersonLecture, “It All Turns on Af-fection,” at 7:30 p.m. Mon-day at the John F. KennedyCenter for the PerformingArts in Washington, D.C.
Berry discussed the im-portance of imagination andconnection.
“The light within, I think,means affection. Affection asmotive and guide,” Berry saidin the lecture.
“Knowledge without af-fection leads us astray. Affec-tion leads by way of goodwork to authentic hope.”
The annual lecture, spon-sored by the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, “isthe most prestigious honorthe federal government be-stows for distinguished intel-lectual achievement in thehumanities,” according to theendowment’s website.
Bobbie Ann Mason, anovelist and short story writerfrom Kentucky, read Berry’spoem “VI” from his collec-tion “Leavings” before Berrydelivered his lecture.
Gurney Norman, directorof UK’s creative writing pro-gram, said the award is sig-nificant for the university.
“Wendell is a force in theworld,” Norman said.
Berry has published morethan 50 books and is interna-tionally known for his writ-ings, Norman said.
“In his writing and in hislife, he has been faithful tothat premise that people must
live in accord with nature,”Norman said.
Berry graduated from UKin 1956 with a bachelor’s de-gree, according to his web-site, and completed his mas-ter’s degree at UK in 1957.Berry later returned to UK asa professor.
In February 2011, Berrymade headlines for being partof a sleep-in at the Capitolprotesting Kentucky’s use of
coal.He also made headlines
in 2010 for removing his pa-pers from UK.
“This is an occasion forthe University of Kentucky,the College of Arts and Sci-ences, the department ofEnglish and the creativewriting program to all feelproud of one of the productsof this university,” Normansaid.

kernel editorial
UK’s new president, Eli Capi-louto, seemed like he had good in-tentions at the start of the 2011-12
school year.He planned
meetings with theheads of each UKcollege. He repeat-edly voiced hisdesire to learn allhe could aboutcampus and Ken-tucky. But he de-clined to make any
big decisions in those first couplemonths, and he wouldn’t get hishands dirty in touchy matters (suchas the question of whether or notgiving athletic director Mitch Barn-hart’s daughter a job in the athleticdepartment was nepotism).
We were skeptical. Many of UK’s students are
from Kentucky, and as the com-monwealth’s flagship institution,UK isn’t tied only to Lexington.
How could an outsider, some-one who’s lived and worked in Ala-bama nearly his whole life, under-stand what this university means tothe state and its millions of people?
He hasn’t been a Cats fan hisentire life. He hasn’t dealt with thestigma of being one of the two low-est states in education rankings orbeing known for poor health due tohigh rates of smoking and obesity.Coal isn’t the center of much debatein Alabama. Horse racing isn’t asbig a sport in other states. He hadto learn how big of a rivalry UKhas with U of L.
But Capilouto learned. He trav-eled with the basketball teams dur-ing the NCAA tournament. He andhis wife ditched their UAB green
wardrobes for UK blue. With theirmedical backgrounds, the Capi-loutos launched dental initiativesfor children around the state. Capi-louto made a friendly bet with U ofL’s president over the Final Fourgame.
But more importantly, Capiloutolearned about the existing plan tomake UK a Top 20 research institu-tion by 2020, and he chose to focushis attention on undergraduates,who don’t do the majority of the re-search.
The president saw there was aneed for new student housing, andhe did something about it. He de-cided to take a chance on privatizedhousing, which has never been doneat such a large scale at a similaruniversity.
Capilouto knows changedoesn’t happen overnight, but he re-
alizes that trying something newcan be beneficial.
Of course it will be years untilwe reap the benefits or suffer nega-tive consequences from UK’s part-nership with Education RealtyTrust, but we salute Capilouto fordaring to be innovative.
We also commend Capilouto fornot waiting many months or yearsbefore making changes.
Talk is cheap, but action isvaluable — especially when thataction addresses the needs of nearly20,000 undergraduate students whohave been cast aside in favor of re-search. Both groups should be ableto coexist, and with a backgroundin medicine, Capilouto seems to un-derstand that.
In his investiture speech, Capi-louto said, “We cannot wait or beheld back because we’re afraid to
take the first two steps.”He has taken those two steps.
We hope he takes many more. UK has room for improvement
in many areas, and we hope Capi-louto intends to address those areasin the near future.
Good ideas plus good intentionscan only equal good changes forthis university, regardless of a “Top20” distinction or not.
In first year, Capilouto’s good intentions benefit students

The UK baseball teamreclaimed its spot as the No.1 team in the nation Mondayafter a come-from-behind se-ries win against LSU overthe weekend.
This is the third week of2012 the Cats (35-6, 13-5SEC) have been ranked No.1. They are off to the beststart in program history.
“It’s one thing to betough and confident, butyou’ve also got to havesome skills,” UK headcoach Gary Henderson said.“It’s a pretty steady groupof personalities. We play inthe best league in the coun-try.”
UK is ranked No. 1 inCollegiate Baseball, No. 2 inBaseball America and No. 3in the USA Today/ESPNCoaches Poll, moving upone spot in the first twopolls.
Tuesday, the Cats go onthe road to play No. 23Louisville, a team that beatthe Cats 12-0 two weeks ago
in Lexington.“Louisville came in here
ready last time and we kindof got away from ourgame,” freshman AustinCousino said. “You alwayswant to occupy your state.This game is going to bebig.”
Junior Luke Maile wasnamed SEC Player of theWeek for the second timethis year on Monday. In fourgames last week, Maile hit.462 with two home runs and
five RBIs. Hitting .311 for the sea-
son and now leading theSEC with 11 home runs, thejunior’s confidence is at ahigh level.
“We’re in a good placeright now,” Maile said.“We’ve got guys swingingthe bat well and we’ve gotguys pitching well. If we cankeep throwing strikes and
playing defense, I think ourconfidence will get even bet-ter.”
Henderson will sendfreshman Sam Mahar to thehill Tuesday against
Louisville. In his first careerstart last week, Maharpitched six shutout inningsin a win over Cincinnati.
First pitch Tuesday isscheduled for 6 p.m.
