State official: Funding key in raising graduation rate

ivachon®kykernel com

UK and other colleges across the
state are battling low graduation rates.
and officials say helping Kentucky
reach the national average will depend
on increased funding for higher educa-
tion in the General Assembly‘s 2008
budget.

Kentucky had 402.000 bachelor's
degree holders in 2000 and needs
791.000 by 2020 to reach the projected
national average. said Brad Cowgill. in-
terim president of Kentucky‘s Council
on Postsecondary Education.

UK must increase the number of
bachelor‘s degrees awarded from 3.6”

To achieve that goal. UK President
Lee Todd said the university will need
to secure funding to hire more faculty
and reduce class sizes. which will help
more students graduate on time.

“(The goal) is achievable with the
right amount of state support." Todd
said in an e-mail.

The CPE. which is a govemor-ap-
pointed board that helps coordinate
postsecondary and adult education. will
release its recommendations to the
Kentucky General Assembly on Nov. 5
outlining how much state funding each
college and university should receive as
the legislature prepares for a budget
year in 2008. Cowgill said.

“We try to keep the amount of state

in 2006—07 to 6.349 in 2020

funds to each institution in balance to

each other and make sure the funds are
in line with state goals." he said. “We
will almost certainly be recommending
an increase in state funding (for UK)."

Awarding more degrees by 2020
also means boosting enrollment at all
public state colleges. from 202.197 in
2005 to 323.465. At UK. undergraduate
enrollment needs to increase 60 per-
cent. from 18.732 to H.873. according
to the CPE's Double the Numbers
study released in 2006.

Cowgill. who started working at the
CPE in September. said each university
will require more faculty. staff. facili—
ties. technology and services to help
boost graduation rates.

"I would not argue that the cost for
anyone will be insignificant." said

Cowgill. a former state budget director.
“The state and students will be bearing
a part of that cost."

UK‘s Top 20 Business plan calls for
an increase in state appropriations of
$19.8 million in 2008-09 and $20.9
million in 2009-10.de said.

The Kentucky General Assembly
approves a state budget every two
years. Legislators will pass six more
budgets between now and the 2020
goal date.

“If a state is attempting to com—
pletely remodel itself in six budgets.
then each budget must make a signifi—
cant difference." Cowgill said.

State Rep. Bob Damron. I)-
Nicholasville. said it is premature to
say how much the legislature will allo-

cate toward higher education.

But as a critical part of the state‘s
economic development strategy. fund-
ing for the state‘s colleges and universi-
ties will play an important role in the
2008 budget. Damron said.

"I think the legislature will look
hard at higher education funding." he
said. "The biggest issue will be when
you have to make decisions on what
will be funded."

State representative Bill Farmer. R-
Lexington. said that the legislature must
carefully consider how increasing fund-
ing for higher education will impact the
amount of money available for other
groups.

meeting

bthomas@kykernel. com

The Kentucky Commission on Human
Rights will hold its monthly meeting at UK
on Thursday to discuss an apparent increase
in the state's racial divides.

The commission hears and rules on com-
plaints of discrimination. and enforces the
state civil rights act and federal discrimina—
tion laws. said Victoria Dempsey. the corn—
mission's communications director.

This month. the group will discuss the
incidents that occurred on campus following
the publication of the Oct. 5 Kernel editorial
cartoon that likened UK's Greek system to a
slave auction.

The commission will specifically discuss
the incident of a racial slur that was written
on a black student's dorm room door follow-
ing the cartoons publication. Dempsey said.

"No complaint was officially made to the
Board of Commissioners about the cartoon.
but we found out about it through media
coverage and belic\c it is part of a bigger
racial divide occurring in the state."
Dempsey said.

The cartoon is part of a proposed resolu-
tion from the commission that focuses on re-
cent race—related occurrences around the
state. including the presence of the Ku Klux
Klan in three Western Kentucky towns and
the distribution of KKK literature at the Uni—
versity of Louisville.

“The resolution urges the people of the
state and of UK to work to resolve these issues
imd work toward diversity." Dempsey said.

In a letter to UK President Lee Todd dat—
ed Oct. l I. John Johnson. executive director
of the commission. urged the administration
to “consider issuing a statement to make
clear the university‘s position on equal op-
portunity. affirmative action and inclusion on
campus."

Todd issued a campus-wide e-mail on
Oct. 8 denouncing the publication of the car—
toon and followed his statement with an e—
mail to the campus on Oct. 9 in response to
incidents. including the racial slur on the
dorm room door. where "lines of civil dis—
course have been crossed."

The commission usually holds its month—
ly meetings in Louisville but decided to meet
at UK this month to give students an oppor-
tunity to attend the meeting and learn more
about possible approaches to diversity.
Dempsey said.

“We wanted to offer our assistance to
President Lee Todd and students to settle
campus unrest and address issues that have
resulted from this unrest Dempsey said.

Women to risk pregnancy in study

UK tests new reusable
contraceptive ring as
part of national trial

BLErico Mitchell

emrtchellCQkylremel com

Pregnancy is the risk panicipants in
a study are asked to take when UK tests
a new contraceptive ring that can be
reused for one year

The RING. which is being tested at
22 locations throughout the United
States. works in a similar manner to
other contraceptives already on the
market including the approved contra-
ceptive ring. NuvaRing. which lasts for
one month.

The patient consent form of the
study informs healthy. sexually active

women between the ages of IX and 39
that there is a small chance of becom—
ing pregnant during the study. which
tests how well the ring works to pre-
vent pregnancy. how well women like
this altemative method and if there are
any side effects.

“We do test the effectiveness of the
ring by counting how many of the
women in the study get pregnant when
they are using this ring." said Ken
Muse. a UK gynecologist and director
of the study.

The chances of becoming pregnant
during the test is thought to be similar
to the chance a woman takes with simi—
lar methods of contraception. said Gre-
gory Moore. director of University
Health Services. who is assisting in the
study.

"Since this new ring uses the same
honnones as the pill. patch and the oth»

First loco. ho. Siting-«it has 15 coats.

er ring. we can expect similarly very
low failure rates." Moore said.

“Although the birth control pill is
by far the most common hormonal con-
traceptive method. rings and patches
are increasingly popular." he said.

The advantage behind this ring is
that patients will not have to purchase a
new one each month. making it easier
for the user. Muse said.

“We are trying to make birth con—
trol more effective by making it more
convenient." Muse said.

Some students are reluctant to par-
ticipate in a study that is testing a con-
traceptive that has not yet been ap-
proved.

"There‘s no way I would do that."
said Jessica Francis. a philosophy se-
nior. "‘I just wouldn‘t be comfortable.

Speed dating too fast for more than friendship

The love of your life can be found in
just five minutes.

I mean. seriously. once you know some-
one‘s favorite jelly flavor. year and major.
what animal they
would be in the wild
and their idea of the
perfect holiday. what
else do you need to
know?

Speed dating is the
name of the game. and
in the fast-paced soci—
ety in which we live. it
only seems fitting that
an event like this
would be brought to
campus. Last night the
Student Activities
Board was responsible
for sparking some love in the Cats Den.

The atmosphere was budding with ro-
mance as white. plastic tablecloths and unlit
candles adorned every table. To add to the
mood. pink punch was served along with
cookies and pastries.

About 20 guys dressed in anything from
blazers. to ties. to UK T-s'hirts stood awk—
wardly as girls began to straggle into the
back of the room.

The girls were immediately directed to
sit at a table. and the fellows were instruct-
ed to go from table to table sparking five-
minute conversations as music played in the
background. As soon as the song was com-
plete. the young men were instructed to ro-
tate to the next girl. It was almost as if we
were playing a grown-up version of musical
chairs. but instead ofjust being out when
all the chairs were full. losers of the game
just didn‘t get the girl.

As the game began. conversation en-
sued. I smiled. shook hands and exchanged
names with about eight different guys. Sad-
ly. that was about all I had time to do.
However. during the few conversations l
pursued. I became a disappointment. shared
cultural differences and even found another
lover of Rob Zombie.

As one young man came to my table.
his face seemed eager to start up the short-
lived banter. He smiled. said his name and
then asked what year in college I am. The
look of total disappointment came over him
as I admitted my senior status. Needless to

say. the rest of the conversation was quite
awkward

Yet another fellow dared to sit at my
table. and surprisingly a substantial convert
sation resulted. We discussed everything
from traveling. to our dreams and amhi‘
tions. to the different cultures in the l'riitcd
States and India.

Finally. and this was by far my favorite
discovery of the evening. I talked to my
soul mate. Well. maybe he w asn’t my soul
mate. but we did share an uncanny love for
horror flicks and Rob Zombie milsic. .»\s
this was discovered. I continued to inform
hint that "Living Dead Girl" was my fa-
vorite Zombie song. and. I kid you not. that
song was his ring tone. As soon as we dis-
covered this. the five minutes were up. and
we had to say our goodbyes.

After about an hour and a half. the
game was over and contact sheets were pro—
vided so people could exchange information
with others with whom they formed a cori-
nection. l was even asked for my full name
so someone could add me on
Facebookcom.

Music festival inviteSstudents to

By Catherine Barnes
features©kylrernelcom

Live music. pumpkin carving. bobbing
for apples. corn hole and bake sales are not
usually associated with Haggin Field.

But tonight students will have the oppor-
tunity to take part in all of these activities at
Before Dark. UK‘s first fall music festival.
The event will be hosted by the AcoUstiKats
and Paws and Listen. two student a cappella
choirs. Local band Jonathan's Machete will
also be performing.

In the past. the AcoUstiKats‘ and Paws
and Listen have presented After Dark as a
Valentine's Day themed event in the spring.
This was the only time when students could
see the AcoUstiKats and Paws and Listen
perform with each other. Members of both
groups wanted a chance to showcase their

talents more.

Lauren Hatter. the director of Before
Dark and coach for Paws and Listen. came
up with the idea.

“I basically thought it was cra/y that we
work so hard all year long and only have
one concert to feature as." Hatter said.

Mike Owens. a member of the
AcoUstiKaIs and a mUsic education and per
formance senior. collaborated with Hatter to
help create this event.

“We decided to keep with a holiday
theme." Owens said. “But for this concert
we used Halloween instead of Valentines
Day. And having it outside irist scented like
it would fit better."

Tegan Hanks. a soprano and coach for
Paws and Listen. said the choirs would offer
a variety of music for students,

"We perfom‘. all kmds of different music

my chair. As I talked to several participants

afterward. we all decided on one conclusion:
Speed dating is a great way to meet people.
and could be a sprmglxrard for possible rela—
tionships in the future.

:\s nursing freshman Heather Williams
put it. “(Speed datingi is a good way to make
friendships. but not dating relationships. it is
a good basis for meeting people. especially
for freshmen. but nothing solid can come out
of it because it is only five minutes."

Simarprcet Rattan. an electrical engi»
ncermg grad student. said speed dating is a
good way to interact with other people be-
cause the scliup makes Il a little bit easier.
but as far as the conversations going be»
yond friendships. he said it is the responsi-
bility of the individuals.

As far as I am concerned. five minutes
is iust barely enough time to connect on a
platonic level. let alone on a more intimate
Icvcl. lint as Rattan said. “Who know s.
tone of these peoplel might end tip being
your life partner."

Hopefully it will take a little bit longer
than five minutes to make that decision.
