New faculty hires bring UK closer to top-20 goal

Byflfl Luster

The students in this year's freshman
class are not the only new faces on
campus.

UK hired 200 new faculty members
for this school year. which. after last
year's retirements and resignations.
amounts to a net increase of 60.

To meet the Top 20 Business Plan's
goal of 2500 faculty members. UK will
need to employ 300 more faculty by
2020.

UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy
said the faculty increase is. in part. an
effort to lower UK‘s student-faculty ra-
tio. To lower the ratio. currently 18 to 1.

UK is also making the admissions
process rrrore selective.

“There's no point with ad-
mitting a lot of students who
don‘t plan on graduating." Sub—
baswamy said.

The graduation rate is a fac—
tor in the US. News and World
Report college rankings. lTK fell
10 spots in the rankings this
year. to l22nd among the 262
US. public and private universi—
ties listed.

Right now. L'K‘s six-year
graduation rate is 59 percent. The goal
of the Top 20 Business Plan is 72 per—
cent.

In June. UK President Lee Todd

Subbaswamy

and Subbaswamy released plans for a
$35 million effort to improve gradua-
tion and retention rates.

The plan. called the “war
on student attrition." includes
$l0 million to hire faculty. It
also calls for freshman advis—
ers to be more involved with
first-year students.

"There is an increased irr-
terventional role the first
year." Subbaswamy said.
“This is a critical time. the
first year."

Subbaswianry said advisers would
watch for waming signs that freshmen
aren't doing well academically. such as
poor midterm grades. and then try to

For nearly four years. the faculty cen-
ter on Rose Street has been a cause for
fundraising. construction and contention.

The Hilary J. Boone Center. which is
located across the street from the Chem—
istry-Physics Building and has been
closed for remodeling since 2004. will re-
open in February for faculty events and
conferences.

"it will provide us a space to host sigv
nature events in the heart of campus."
said L'K President Lee Todd.

An expanded dining area capable of
handling 300 people will be among the
renovated facility's new features.

“it will be open for employ ec fac-

Campus organizations will soon re»

nrcnt.

The Senate held its first full meeting
last night and. as its first order of basi—
ness. passed the SC: budget for the year.

it was important for the Senate to
pass the budget as soon as possible. said
SG Chief of Staff Chris Crumrine.

“The biggest thing is that student or—
ganizations need this money so they can
get started for the year." Crumrine said.

There was much debate concerning
salaries for committee chairs. The first
draft of the budget. which passed the Ap—
propriations and Revenue Committee on
Monday. removed committee~chair

contact the students. How-ever. fresh»
man advisers would not require failing
students to meet with them.

"We can show them the way. we
can offer them help. but ultimately it is
up to the students." Subbaswamy said.

in addition to improving graduation
and retention rates. Todd said adding
more faculty would be essential to in-

creasing research. another element of

the top-20 plan.
To add faculty. however. UK will
need more research space. Todd said.
“Clearly. the ability to continue to

add space is critical to the success of

the business plan." Todd said. “And it's
a vital pan of our goal to continue in-
creasing the size of our faculty."

BLOOD. Swrayr AND TEARS

When the state legislature recon-
venes in January. Todd will present
UK‘s funding request for the next two
years. Todd said he aims to make a
"strong case" to legislators to continue
to fund the Top 20 Business Plan and
add research space.

Having enough space for new fac-
ulty will be an important factor in the
number of hires. Subbaswarny said.

"We would only hire as many facul-
ty as we can accommodate.“ Sub-
baswamy said.

Along with increasing research. ins
creasing diversity on campus is a focus
of the topv20 plan.

Men’s soccer assistant emphasizr "1 both goals and grades

They don‘t have a name for it. and
they don‘t need a name for it. The UK
men‘s soccer
players under-
stand it about as
clearly as they un-
derstand what it
means to be off-
sides.

If a player on
the team is strug-
gling in school. he
knows what‘s go-
ing to happen: the
day is going to
start at 5 am.

But this isn’t
one of those fiveomile. boot-camp tor-
ture runs. Jeff Chaney doesn't believe

 

Kernel
columnist

in that

Instead. Chaney. an assistant coach.
makes them study at the break of dawn.
Whatever they miss in class or in study
hall they have to earn back before the
sun comes up. with Chaney right next
to them.

“Running is not going to make
them go to class." (‘hancy said. “i want
them to do the best they can because
they want to."

Chaney doesn‘t rust want them to
go to class v he makes them go to
class. And because of that. he‘s gotten
what he wants: academic excellence
from the squad.

The men‘s soccer team is consis-
tently one of the top teams at UK in
classroom performance. That‘s largely

www.mmmam

because of Chaney. w ho charged the
way the team approached schoolwork
early in his UK coaching tenure.

Chaney has been at L'K since 1992
~ the first two years with the women.
the last l2 with the men.

In 1996. (‘hancy knew the program
was lacking in some areas. Don‘t be
fooled. the Cats w crc one of the best
teams in the Mid American Confer—
ence. brrt something wasn't right.

“We had a group of guys that need-
ed some direction." he said.

That's when ('hancy teamed his
players up with CATS ~ the Center for
Academic and Tutorial Service. which
was new at the time , to help them in
the classroom

He made them see tutors. He made

them sit down in study sessions. He
made them go to class.

"i think as mttch as they put in soc-
cer. they should put in the classroom."
Chaney said. “I don't think you have to
take the pie and divide it. I hope they
put as much time in academically as
they do in the game and taking care of
their bodies."

The time working on school goals
instead of soccer goals has paid off.
The club won the CATPSY award for
best men‘s academic team the last two
years; 88 players have been named to
the Southeastem Conference‘s acade-
mic honor roll (they are still eligible
for this honor even though they don't
compete in the SEC); and UK was one
of only three teams to be ranked in the

final top 25 soccer rankings and win
the National Soccer Coaches Associa-
tion of America Team Academic
Award.

With (‘haney's ability to get every-
thing he wants academically out of his
players. it’s only natural that he origi-
nally wanted to be a high-school
teacher. He majored in political science
and got his degree from Georgetown
College in NW.

He staned helping the women's
team soon after graduation before
Jumping over to the men‘s team a few
years later.

From the moment he was brought
on the staff. he's done more than just
coach.

I HOOKAH HISTORY

Originally created from coconut shells and used to smoke opium,
hookah has traveled a long way from its rustic roots in India to having a
modern appeal.

Soon after hookah became popular in India, the tradition moved west.
Turkey became the home of modern-day hookah traditions, where opium
has been replaced by tombeik, a dark tobacco grown in Iran. The upper
class and intellectuals grabbed hold of this tradition and tweaked the look
by making the hookahs brass or glass and adding paintings or mosaics.

In Egypt and Morocco, hookah is known as shisha. ln Saudi Arabia and
the United Arab Emirates, it is known as the bubble-bubble.

A hopeful heir to the catiipus hangout throne has re—
cently opetied its doors to the Lexmgton community.

Prince Hookah Lounge. which opened Aug. 21 at 555
South Limestone Street. hopes to make customers feel
like they are royalty. said journalism senior and co—owrier
Khaled Ahmed.

“I want people to feel like they can lay back on the
couch. and we can bring them whatever they need."
Ahmed said.

Modern hookah originated in Turkey around l.(l(l(l
years ago. Ahitied said.

The tobacco used for the hookah is marinated in fruit
molasses. and the hookah smoke is filtered through a nat»
ural filtration system of ice-cold water. according to the
lounge‘s Web site lw w w.princehookahlounge.comi.

“Hookah is one of those worldwide things." said So—
fyan Amry. another Prince Hookah co—owner. "It is very
pleasurable. it is for smokers and non-smokers and brings
a lot of people together."

Although Lexington Iias an ordinance that prohibits

indoor smoking at most public establish-
ments. Prince Hookah Lounge is ex—
empt from the ban because at least 50
percent of its revenue comes from to-
bacco.

“We don‘t sell a lot of food. and
everything else we offer is really cheap
because we want to maintain profit from
the tobacco." Ahmed said.

The lounge offers products from a \ av
riety of cultures. including baklava. Turk-

ish coffee. mango juice.
stiiootliies. cappucciiios and
homemade green tea.
Ahmed and Army. along
with other investors. had been
toying with the idea of a hookah bar
for the past year before they finally decid-
ed to follow through a month ago.
"As soon as we really thought about
opening a hookah bar. hooni. it just fell into

 

place." Ahmed said.

Now the lounge is booming with customers. Ahmed
said. It was putting customers on a four-hour wait during
its opening party Aug. 24. he said.

"We‘ve really been overwhelmed." Ahmed said. ”We
weren‘t ready for this many people this only. it is a good
problem to have."

Ahmed thinks the lounge is already doing well be-
cause of its uniqueness to the Lexington area.

"We wanted to add some flavor to Lexington."
Ahmed said. "It seems like people always go to the
mo\ ics and otit to eat. but there isn‘t a lot of places to just
hang out atid spend some tiiite with friendsf~

“('hill sums tip the attnosphere here." said iiiatheiiiatv

ics and physics junior Lincoln Pippen. part of a group of

UK students who say they are the lounge‘s "first regu-
lars."

()ne of the lounge‘s goals is to let customers haye
control by concocting their own hookah fla\ors. choosing
the TV stations and submitting (‘Ds with music that fits
the Iounge‘s mood.

"i don't want to ptit any picssure on people." Ahmed
said. “I want to be able to sit down and hang ottt with the
customers."

During the day. Prince Hookah is geared toward con-

Few questions linger for
starting quanerback Andre
Woodsoii. But eyen fewer an~
swers~ surround UK’s backup
quarterbacks.

After passing for 3.5]5
yards and 3| touchdowns last
year. Woodson. an liSl’Neom
preseason first-team All~Ameri-
can and dark-horse Heisman
candidate. emerged as one of the
nation‘s elite quarterbacks w'hile
erasing any doubts about who
UK‘s starting quarterback would
be.

But after Woodson. the tal-
ent remains a mystery.

Redshirt freshman Mike
Hartline won the backup Job af-
ter months of battling. but he.
like redshirt freshman Mike Fi-
dler and true freshman Matt
Lentz. has never taken a snap in
a collegiate game.

Despite the lack of experi-
ence. Hartline believes the back
ups can get the job done.

“I think we're deep right
now." he said. "I think we
have good quarterbacks that
cart not necessarily replace
Andre. because he makes a lot
of great plays. but we can get
out there. take the ball and
move the offense down the
field and give the offense a
chance to score."

But the quarterback situation
is worrisome for head coach one
Rich Brooks. who stressed that
the backups iteed to dey'elop.

"You‘re one sriap away troin take
