U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will continue his crusadefor free enterprise in Americawhen his speaks at UK.
Paul will give his presen-tation, “Restoring EconomicFreedom,” at 2 p.m. on
Wednesdayin the Stu-dent Cen-ter’s Wor-sham The-ater.
T h eevent issponsoredby theB B & TProgram of
UK’s Gatton College of Busi-ness and Economics, and isopen to the students as well asthe public.
The BB&T Program wasestablished from the BB&TCorporation to promote re-search and teaching regardingunderstandings of free enter-prise, according to the Gattonwebsite.
The son of former con-gressman and 2012 Republi-can presidential candidateRon Paul, Rand Paul first re-ceived national attention in2008 when making politicalspeeches on behalf of his fa-ther, according to The Wash-ington Post.
Rand Paul, whose resi-dence is in Bowling Green,Ky., where he was an opthal-mologist before his election, isthe first U.S. senator to servesimultaneously with a parentin the House of Representa-tives.
Paul is a member of theRepublican Party and tea par-ty movement. He describeshimself as a “constitutionalconservative” and a libertari-an.
He recently made nationalheadlines for a 13-hour fili-buster, in which he questionedwhether the Obama adminis-tration had the authority to usedrones to kill Americans onAmerican soil.
As a member of the teaparty movement, Paul hasbeen advocating for term lim-its, a balanced budget amend-ment and the Read the BillsAct (a proposal to requireCongress to read the legisla-tion that it passes), as well asthe widespread reduction offederal spending and taxation.
“Senator Paul has wellknown views on this matter,”said Gatton endowed profes-sor of economics John Garen.“Economic freedom is some-thing people often don’t thinkabout. I think he is an experi-enced speaker and he knowshow to make it relevant.”
Paul will share his find-ings and viewpoints on thestate of economic freedom inAmerica and open up to ques-tions from the audience in aQ-and-A session.
Garen said the role ofgovernment is crucial in thisregard, and Paul articulates anoteworthy viewpoint onthese matters.
“I anticipate that our stu-dents, as well as the entireuniversity community, willbenefit from being able tohear from an important policymaker as Senator Paul,”Garen said.

NCAA Tournament at Rupp Arena
No. 15 seeds beatingNo. 2 seeds has becometrendy on the men’s side ofthe bracket these past two
seasons.And af-
ter UKHoopstrailedNavy, 26-25, at half-time onSunday, itseemed thetrend mightbecomefashionablefor women,
too.But Matthew Mitchell’s
squad turned it on in thesecond half, coasting to a20-point victory, UK’slargest win in an NCAATournament game.
“We were a little rustyoffensively,” Mitchell toldESPN afterthe game.“We havetended tostruggle abit inthese first-roundgames.”
InUK’s pastthree first-roundgames,the Catshave wonby six(2012: 68-62 over Mc-Neese State), four (2011:66-62 over Hampton inovertime) and six (2010:83-77 over Liberty).
UK’s recent historywas repeating itself in thefirst half, where the Catsstruggled offensively (31.8percent from the field) andfailed to up the intensityon the defensive end. Navymanaged to sink five 3-
pointers en route to thehalftime lead.
The second half, how-ever, was a different story.UK looked like the team itshould be, using strong de-fense to distance itselffrom Navy, whose 41points are a record low fora UK opponent in theNCAA Tournament.
The Cats didn’t givetheir best effort in the firstround. Most notably, A’diaMathies failed to score afield goal for the first timein her UK career, finishingwith only five points.
An OK effort turnedout to be plenty today. Go-ing forward, that won’t bethe case.
When the Cats faceNo. 7 seed Dayton onTuesday, they’ll be upagainst a team unaccus-tomed to losing. The Fly-
ers soaredthrough theAtlantic 10undefeatedand havesuffered justtwo lossesall season.
Eachroundbrings in-creasedpressure,and theCats can’tafford a flatperformance
if they hope to make itback to the Elite Eight fora probable rematch withUConn (which just so hap-pened to beat its first-round opponent Idaho,105-37).
Now the Cats mustshake off the rust, polishtheir offense and put thepedal down on defense tofulfill their goal of a deeptournament run.

Music, poetry anddance filled the stage of theLyric Theatre at the UK Di-versity Festival on Fridaynight.
Acts featured local tal-ent from the Lexingtoncommunity and UK.
Performances includeda cappella tunes by UK’sPaws and Listen, a swingdance from the LexingtonHepcats, an Indian andWestern dance combinationby a group called Prakriti,rock-rap fusion artist Holly-wood Tryl and folk-south-ern band The Dead Necks.
Diversity and creativityare vital to the Lexingtonand UK communities, saidfreshman Kat Granlund, atheater and secondary Eng-lish education major whoalso is a soloist for Pawsand Listen.
“This whole night wasamazing. I didn’t knowwhat it was all about atfirst, but the show makesyou realize how importantdiversity is,” Granlund said.“The world would be a bet-ter place if people came to-gether and shared art witheach other more.”
Paula Dunn, chair of theEntertainment Committeefor the festival, and also the
manager of graduate andfamily housing at UK, be-lieves Lexington is becom-ing a mecca of diversity.
“UK has always boost-ed diversity, but now thecity itself is expanding cul-turally,” Dunn said. “Therehave been things in the pasthere that have hindered di-versity, but everything islooking up now, as it hasbeen for the past decade orso.”
During the showcase,the audience learned factsabout the city from BethMills, Lexington’s commis-sioner of social services.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) —Today is an 8 — It's a big mistaketo think you're the smartest.That's irrelevant, anyway. There'sstill work to be done. Dedicationis part of the solution. Horsesmay be part of the picture.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) —Today is an 8 — There's less thanyou thought, but the opportuni-ties for more are wide open. Ig-nore a rude remark, or anything
that distracts from your commit-ments.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — To-day is a 6 — Stay outside of thecontroversy; you have biggerand better things to worryabout. If you really think it willmake a difference, wait a while.Anticipate criticism. Otherwise,keep to your commitments.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —Today is a 7 — Listen. What youlearn today helps you in the longrun. Put your confidence andpower behind a great cause.Don't throw your money around,though; not even for love.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)— Today is an 8 — Ride out thestorm, and calm another's fears.Take a moment to catch yourbreath. Then conjure ideas for anadditional income stream, nowand for the long run.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) —Today is an 8 — Work out your dif-ferences so that you can moveforward with ease. You can reallyhandle it. It's worth taking thetime. Postpone parties and com-mittee meetings.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) —Today is a 9 — State your positionfirmly, and be willing to be flexi-ble, up to a point. An objectiveperspective helps. Enough talkingabout it; now's the time to getactive.
Harsh conditions, tough choices, improba-bly modelesque cheekbones. In writer-directorDavid Riker’s drama, “The Girl,” Abbie Cor-nish plays the poverty-line Texas mother of apreteen. The boy has been placed by SocialServices with a foster parent, until this big-box-store minimum-wager can prove herself afit guardian.
The woman’s wastrel father (Will Patton),a trucker living just over the border in Mexico,introduces his daughter to the world of coy-otes, those who profit from helping undocu-mented workers across the river to America.Like “Frozen River” and several other, more
persuasive films, “The Girl” attempts to bal-ance character with its sense of social injustice.
She’s a good actress, but Cornish has littlebut high notes and on-the-nose plot points todeliver.
When a tragic attempt at getting a group ofMexicans across leads her to an orphaned pre-teen, the film’s parental themes are laid out asneatly and cleanly as possible. Riker’s filmcould’ve used less diagramming and moremess — the way life works, as opposed to theaverage indie.
‘The Girl’: Indie’s message hard to miss

“America’s Got Talent”finalist Joe Castillo will visitcampus Monday as a part ofthe Student Activities Board’sArt Matters: Sand Animationevent at 7 p.m. at MemorialHall.
Free and open to the pub-lic, the event will featureCastillo’s sand art, calledSandStory.
Also responsible forbringing ice sculpture artiststo campus earlier this semes-ter, SAB’s Art Matters seriesaims to present UK’s studentbody with new ways to viewand conceptualize art.
“SAB hopes to presentnon-traditional art styles,”said Brittney Woodrum, di-rector of Cultural Arts forSAB. “This event is our wayto get art out of the gallery.”
Castillo works by manip-ulating sand into a series ofpictures to tell a story, oftenset to music.
“I tell stories by drawing
images in the sand,” Castillosaid. “This is still a very newart form that has only recentlybeen performed and filmed.”
After attending art schoolin Florida, Castillo moved toKentucky and attended As-bury Theological Seminary.His studies led him to be-come a pastor in Richmond,Ky., where he developed hisSandStory art.
“I wantto tell epicstories in anew light,”Castillo said.“I really en-joy tellingstories thatwill, in someway or an-other, changep e o p l e ’ slives.”
Castillobegan per-f o r m i n gSandStory artsix years ago and rose tofame during his appearanceon “America’s Got Talent.”
“It was a great experi-
ence,” Castillo said. “It wasa whole lot of fun and I gota chance to meet fascinat-ing, incredibly talented peo-ple.”
UK students will get toexperience the art that landedCastillo in the top five of“America’s Got Talent.”
“It’s being brought direct-ly to students,” said Mel Si-mon, the Cultural Arts Com-mittee chair for SAB. “Youwon’t get another opportunitylike this.”
Although students mighthave seenC a s t i l l o ’ swork onY o u T u b e ,where hisvideos nowa v e r a g e750,000 to 1million views,Castillo hopesto provide adifferent expe-rience live.
“Watchingit on a laptopis not the sameas watching it
as a live performance,”Castillo said of his art. “It’svery unique, very captivatingand something that has yet tobe seen.”

Earlier this month, a Senate col-league of mine said that when I ques-tioned whether or not the President
could order a dronestrike on Americancitizens on Ameri-can soil, I was justcatering to “liber-tarian kids in theirdorm rooms.”Standing up for theBill of Rights andthe Fifth Amend-ment was not a po-litical stunt de-signed to appeal tocertain audiences. Itook an oath toprotect the Consti-
tution and it is an oath I intend tokeep.
But, we do need a Republican Par-ty that addresses the concerns ofyoung people. We need a differentkind of GOP, a party that speaks to therising generation, who may haveunique interests and concerns.
Over the past several years, Ihave spent time on college campusesacross the Commonwealth, includingat the University of Kentucky. Youcan’t miss the message that youngpeople are delivering.
Like most Americans, they worryabout our country’s $16 trillion debt.This deficit is a burden that is guaran-teed to grow more as time passes, andas Washington continues with its reck-less spending. The No. 1 contributorto our debt — entitlements — issomething most young people simplydon’t expect to see. We need to haveserious reform to save Social Securityand Medicare so that those who’vepaid into these systems all their livescan receive their benefits. But foryoung Americans, they need a way toopt out or at least something very dif-ferent.
Most young people will tell youthe same, if those in Washington
would only listen.I believe a Republican Party that is
more tolerant and dedicated to keepingthe government out of people’s livesas much as possible would be moreappealing to the rising generation. Wehave a nation of 300 million peoplewho all harbor very different opinionson various policies. We have a Consti-tution that allows, even requires, manyof these decisions to be made at thestate and local level, which could ac-commodate the diversity of opinion inthis country. Most young people I en-counter simply have no desire to tellother people what to do or how tolive.
Another part of our debt woes isthe trillions of dollars we spend fight-ing decade-long wars and sending for-eign aid all over the world. Americamust always maintain a strong nation-al defense, but young people canimagine a world in which the UnitedStates doesn’t have to be involved inevery part of it. We can’t continueborrowing money from China orspending ourselves into debt to protectthe entire globe. We simply cannot af-ford it. It is not what’s best for ourcountry. It makes us less secure, notmore.
There are blue parts of the countrywhere Republicans haven’t fared well,and yes, a more libertarian-Republicanmight be able to start winning in thoseareas. The youth vote could play anintegral part in this.
Young Americans — conservative,libertarian, independent — are as fedup with big government as their par-ents and grandparents. I will fight fora GOP that gives voice to the concernsof the rising generation. A RepublicanParty willing to address their uniqueconcerns could build a new majoritythat might finally turn this countryaround.
Rand Paul is the junior senatorfrom Kentucky. Email [email protected] with responses.
GOP must make an effort to reach young Americans

No. 8 UK baseball (18-5,4-2 SEC) used two qualitypitching starts from seniorleft-handed pitcher JeradGrundy and junior left-hand-ed pitcher Corey Littrell tosweep Saturday’s double-header and take the seriesover No. 14 Mississippi Stateat Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The first game of the dou-bleheader saw the Cats holdon to defeat the Bulldogs, 3-2, while sophomore center-fielder Austin Cousinobrushed off a slump to hit awalk-off single to capture the4-3 win late Saturday after-noon.
In the first game, sopho-more first baseman A.J. Reedbegan the afternoon with afirst-inning two-run home runto push UK to a 2-0 lead. Thehome run was Reed’s sixth ofthe season.
From there, the game wascontrolled by Grundy.Grundy pitched eight innings,giving up two runs on six hitswith 10 strikeouts.
“Grundy was outstand-ing,” UK head coach GaryHenderson said. “I’m really,really happy for Jerad, happyfor our club. That effort todaywas about as good as you seein college baseball.”
UK led 3-1 going to theninth inning when Hendersonelected to bring Grundy (whohad thrown 105 pitchesthrough eight innings) backout to pitch to MississippiState outfielder and SEC RBIleader Hunter Renfroe, whocrushed the second pitch overthe left-field wall.
Junior right-handed closerTrevor Gott came into thegame to face the next batterand closed the game, earninghis seventh save of the year.
Senior outfielder ZacZellers, sophomore infielderMax Kuhn and Reed all went2-for-3 in Saturday’s firstgame. Zellers scored two runsand Kuhn had a run batted in.
The Cats gained an ad-vantage early in the secondgame of the doubleheader.
The first five UK battersgot on-base via walk or beinghit-by-pitch, resulting in threeCats runs in the first inning,all without a hit.
Littrell ran into trouble inthe third inning.
“I was a little wild earlyand then the defense made er-rors, but the biggest thing forme was knowing that I’vebeen in that situation before. Iknow I can find it at any mo-ment,” Littrell said. “Weknow that we’re not going towin every game. We’re goingto lose again because it’s
baseball, but we’re confidentand we know that if we playthe way we know how, we’llcome out successful.”
Little threat came from ei-ther team offensively until theUK ninth inning. Freshmanoutfielder Kyle Barrett led theinning off with a double toleft center. Sophomore pinchhitter Jeff Boehm was walkedintentionally and junior short-stop Matt Reida walked in thenext at-bat.
Cousino, who had gone 1-for-16 since his dazzlingFlorida series, came up to batwith the bases loaded.
“I wasn’t trying to do toomuch,” Cousino said. “I justreally wiped away what hap-pened early in the game. Iknew that if I could get up, Icould get him.”
The second pitch Cousinosaw was lined down the first-base line, off of first base, intoright field, and the Catspoured out of the dugout tocelebrate a win, a doublehead-er sweep and a series win.
