CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

UK's black enrollment highest ever

3v “Lame!
acmerchi®kykerne| com

UK‘s 2008 freshman class had
the highest number of first-year
black students iii university history.

The number of firstryear black
students is 341 for the 3003-09
school year. tip froin 258 last year.
according to figures released by the
university Tuesday.

The total black undergraduate
population is Lolts‘. about 8.6 per-
cent of UK‘s 18.995 undergraduate
students.

The black undergraduate popu—
lation is about 1 percent higher than
last year. For the 2007-08 school
year. the number of black under—
graduate students was L40). about
7.6 percent of the undergraduate

student population of 18.770.

In a presentation to the UK
Board of Trustees Tuesday. UK
President Lee Todd said he was
“extremely pleased" with the repon.

“It begins to affirm something
we‘ve been trying to do." he said.

According to the figures re-
leased Tuesday for the 2008—09
school year. UK had:

it a record number of under—
graduate applications this year. over
H.000. which is up 4.7 percent
from last year.

it Hispanic enrollment increase
by l7.to 6] people.

it a freshman class of 4.044 stu-
dents. up from 3.865 last year.

it retention rates increase about
5 percent frotn the year before. to
8| percent.

Subbaswamy credits the higher
retention rate. at least in pan. to the
university‘s “War on Student Attri-
tion.“ The $35 million program.
started last fall by Todd and Sub‘
baswamy. includes Sl0 million to
hire new faculty. It also involves
hiring new advisers to intervene
with students that are at risk for
dropping out.

For this year. ll new academic
advisers have been added for first—
year students. mandatory midterm
grades implemented and the Aca-
detnic Alert system established for
faculty to report students “at-risk"
students.

“Everyone from every college
really rallied. and that is one reason
for this turnaround." Subbaswamy
said.

The board is an active but limit—
ed role in helping retain students.
said Student Government President
Tyler Montell.

“I think that there's a lot of
things the university can do to keep
students here to a point," Montell
said. “But there are also lots of
things out of our control. like how
much a student has to work or their
high school education."

While the improvement is good.
Top 20 institutions have retention
rates of 90 percent. Subbaswatny
said.

“We are like bicyclists pedaling
up a steep hill. we must not let up.
We must keep pedaling." Sub-
baswamy said.

Those words. white on a black

the message is simple: don‘t be a

do above all else. But in the world
of recruiting. that saying is blasphe-

intites one philosophy: Me first.

In years past. recruiting by UK

U.S. drivers look to what is in

BUENOS AIRES. Ar-

to his engine to fill his tank
— with natural gas.

“I get a good perform-
ance. and it's 70 percent

Noguero said. explaining
why he converted his taxi to
use natural gas.

More vehicles run on nat»
ural gas in Argentina than
anywhere else in the world.
and that success is attracting
a burst of interest from the
US. where a big push is un-

“We have someone visit—

Many drivers in the IS
are clarnorrng to fill up with
natural gas because it‘s about
SI .50 cheaper a gallon on av-
erage than gasoline. accordr
mg to industry figures.

Others favor natural gas
because it produces about 20
percent less greenhouse eniis
stuns. And some see natural
gas as a way to reduce ['.S,
dependency on imported oil.

When you hear a scream
at a UK women‘s volleyball
game. you can expect a
point for the Cats (5—2). That
scream you hear is coming
from middle blocker Queen
Nzenwa and it‘s signifying a
thunderous spike is on its
way

‘lt‘s just the emotion of
the game." Nzenwa said. “it
kind of gets everyone hyped
too. but it does intimidate
the other team which is why
1 do it. I kind of feel like it‘s
just letting them (the other
team) know that something
is coming but they can‘t stop
it.“

It‘s not just the fans that
get a sense of excitement
with Nzenwa‘s play. though.
Junior setter. Sarah Rumely.
loves having a "high energy
individual” like Nzenwa on
the court to set the ball to.

"it‘s something that you

would always —~—-————
want as a set—
ter." Rumely
said. “If you
don't have '

a
player like that
on your team
you‘re going to
be in some real
binds. If we‘re
struggling in a

situation. l c
know that “MG
there‘s always

that option that
she‘s going to get us out of
any situation that we're put
in."

Nzenwa. the career
block leader at UK with 491.
wasn‘t always a volleyball

"She's really
blossomed so far
in this preseason

and I think that
showed up this
past week."

star. Nzenwa wanted to play
volleyball her junior year in
high school but wasn‘t sure
if she could play. She tried
out her senior year. however.
and played club volleyball in
addition to high school.
Nzenwa ended up flourish-
ing. but 6'2 Baltimore native
excelled in everything.
Nzenwa was the most
valuable player of her high
school basketball team. She
also dominated track at Ken-
wood High School. where
she was a four~time MVP.

and won the Baltimore
County high jump record
every year.
