Todd lays out top-20 funding needs

Bv "we
THE KENTUCKY mm

President Lee Todd said this
week if UK is to become a topZO re-
search institution and Kentucky’s
flagship university. it must receive
substantially more state funding and
greater flexibility in regulating its
agenda.

To help make that case. UK is
continuing to develop a long-term
business plan.

His responses to The Kernel via
email Tuesday came on the heels of
a $193.1 million higher education
budget proposed by the Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Educa-
tion. That proposal. released Monday.
has UK slated to receive a funding in-
crease of $27.35 million over the next
two fiscal years.

Todd said part of convincing the
council and state legislators to give
UK the majority of state funding re-
quires understanding the impor-

tance of UK reaching topZO research
status. as well as the fact that UK is
the state’s flagship institution.

“I‘m optimistic we can m and
that we will — make a compelling
case to our leaders in Frankfort that
an increased investment in higher
education is critical to reaching the
goals we all have for our state." Todd
sai .

“That's precisely why the top20
business plan is so important. It will
lay out in clear. sharp terms where

I An additional $150 million in
state bonds to complete the additions
to the Chandler Medical Center

I Increased flexibility to issue
bonds, as proposed in House Bill 45

I Flexibility for UK can increase
its spending limits on large construc-
tion projects

Todd said he is “very pleased"
with the response he’s received from
Gov. Ernie Fletcher and state legisla-

we are today and where we need to
go tomorrow“

Part of that plan includes five
legislative priorities which Todd
called a “road map" to UK's most es-
sential needs.

Those priorities include:

I Significant increases in operat-
ing funds for UK students

I An additional $80 million in
state bonds to complete the second
and final phase of its Biological Sci-

ences and Pharmaceutical Complex. 599 WWW 0" page 2

vacancies
filled up

Heated debate ensues over
changes to Accountability Act

By Sean Rose
mr xturucrv mm

The Student Government Senate
filled the last three vacancies of the 80
Supreme Court by unanimous decision
last night at their meeting in the Student
Center.

Second year law student Chad Mered-
ith. fourth year pharmacy student Tony
Tagavi and agriculture economics fresh-
man Jacob Hulker replaced justices who
graduated. SG Supreme Court Judges are
appointed by the president. approved by
the Senate and serve until they leave UK.

SG President Ellingsworth said she
was impressed with the appointees’ inter-
est in the position.

“This isn’t something that I sought
people for or that I‘m picking and choos-
ing." Ellingsworth said.

She added that she was pleased the
justices were different ages and from dif-
ferent colleges.

“I’ve really tried to diversify these
three appointments." Ellingsworth said.

A controversial act met heated debate
on the floor last night as well. The Ac-
countability Act of 2005 was passed but
part of it was struck down. The act re-
quires paid SG staffers to publicly post
their office hours. A second part to the
act requiring the executive communica-
tion director and communications junior.
Jason Robinson. to give a report to the
Senate each meeting on the SG events
that had occurred was deleted.

History junior and SG Senator Will
Fuller. who co-sponsored the act, said it
was designed to promote communica-
tion. Others called it redundant because
Ellingsworth performs a similar task at
the beginning of each Senate meeting.
Some senators said it violated the separa-
tion of each governing branch.

“I still believe that there is a separa-
tion between the executive and legisla-
tive branch." said finance and economics

Cats top Tiger

By Josh Sullivan
in: KENTUCKY KERNEL

The UK men's basketball team weathered a
strong push from the Georgetown College Tigers
in last night‘s final exhibition tune-up of the sea-
son before finally pulling away for an 8563 win.

The perennial NAIA power. located just 15
miles northwest of Lexington. showed no signs of
fear. hanging with the No. 10 Cats for much of the
game.

After enjoying one of the kinder welcomes UK
fans have recently bestowed upon a visiting team.
the Tigers proceeded to match the Cats shot for
shot. jumping out to a 2A—20 lead on a jumper from
guard Craig Shoen ten minutes into the game.

But on UK‘s next possession. new Wildcat
workhorse Rekalin Sims converted a three-point
play. sinking a layup while getting fouled and nail-
ing the free throw

That play sparked a 224 Kentucky run to close
the half. giving the Cats a 42-28 lead going into the
locker room.

Sims. a junior college transfer, was the hero of
the first half for the Cats, amassing a stat line that
would have been impressive for an entire game,
scoring 14 points on five of six shooting, grabbing
five boards and dishing out two assists. Nine of
those points came on three straight UK posses-
sions, as Sims knocked down a trio of treys.

Sims finished with a game-high 22 points and
11 rebounds. He also forced four Tiger turnovers ——
two charges and two steals. UK head coach Tubby
Smith said Sims’ perimeter marksmanship as a
power forward will give the Cats a threat they
haven’t had for some time.

“I knew he was an outstanding outside shoot-
er.” Smith said after the game. “He’s a very aggres-
sive player and also a well-rounded player. He just
has a nose for the ball."

Sims finished with four 3-pointers on five at-
tempts. ,

“I’ve been struggling in practice with the three,
butd I just came out and got wide open looks." Sims
sa1 .

The Tigers kept it close by playing tough de-
fense. forcing the Cats into 24 turnovers while com-
mitting 19. They clawed back to within 10 points
with 9:31 left in the game. but never got any closer.

UK finally had some success with its much-
hyped uptempo experiment. scoring 22 points off
turnovers. though Smith expressed concern that

Sims’ star shines even brighter

Rekalin Sims is making a bad
habit of this.

For the second straight game.
the junior college transfer stole the
show.

He’d stuff you. then take the
ball from you.

He'd shoot the ‘J.’ Swish.

He'd grab the board. Clear out.
Like Windex, he cleaned glass.
(OK. so I‘m not Stuart Scott).

Last time. Sims just con-

speaker to discuss ASian politics

By Erin Schmitt
int KENTUCKY KIRNEL

It's called "the rooftop of the
world." and tonight. politics will be
seen through its eyes.

Elliot Sperling. an associate profes-
sor and chair of central Eurasian stud-
ies at Indiana University. will be the
keynote speaker for U K's annual syin
posium hosted by the Asia (Tenter.
Sperling‘s speech is entitled “India-
China Rivalries: As Viewed from 'l‘i-
bet."

Sperling is a renowned expert on
Tibet. has authored several books and
served on the US. Secretary of State's
Advisory (‘ommittee on Religious
Freedom Abroad from 1996 to 1999.

Sperling was chosen as a speaker
because the Asia (‘enter wanted to
have a reading group format that dis
cussed lndia-(‘hina relations. said
Doug Slaymaker. cordit‘ectot‘ of the I! K
Asia (‘enter and Rtissian and Eastern
studies professor

Every year the symposium chooses
a different focus. he said. Design. ar-
chitecture and film have been other
previous topics.

“This year. we wanted to focus on
this area of the world. which will be
something of a central focus of the
world for years to come." Slaymaker
said.

“Over the years we have addressed
different topics.“ said Beth (loldstein.

Funding

tors to those priorities.

“The reception has been very posi
tive.“ he said. “I think there is an under-
standing of our needs and agreement
with our priorities.”

Yet Todd reiterated that there's still a
lot of work to be done if UK is to meet
the state‘s goals.

A $189 million funding gap between
UK and its 19 benchmarks a dollar fig-
ure that illustrates just how far the uni-
versity must go to reach the goals laid
out in House Bill I. Todd said. UK would
need to hire 910 additional faculty ment
bers. increase federal research dollars by
260 percent and add 536% million to its en-
dowment to close that gap. he said.

Todd said changing the way state leg-
islators view UK is of equal imixn'tance.

He said he will be meeting with sev»
eral state legislators between now and

the beginning of the upcoming session of

General Assembly. which begins Jan. it
to ensure they fully understand the int
portance of UK‘s requests.

“We have a much different mission

codiicctor of the Asia (Tenter and pro
fessor of educational policy “We were
looking for a topic that had a wide au-
dience and cturent significzmce."

(loldstein said there's been a lot of

discussion in the mulia about U.S.-Chi-
na and U.S.-India relations and (‘hina-
India relations, but the global conse-
quences are seldom addressed.

“Anyone who graduates will have
to deal with these places." Slaymaker
said. “Almost any business or policy-
maker has to take into consideration
those areas. The population and the
number of languages alone mean we
have to pay attention."

()rganizers also wanted a strucA
tured format that could incorporate
reading groups. not just a speaker.
Members of the group also hope to in-
corporate what they have learned into
the classroom.

"Reading groups are a way to have
a deeper interaction within a group
about these issues.” Slaymaker said.

Sperling will address how Tibet is
seen through China-India relations.

"The Indian Republic has been
concerned about Tibet." Sperling said.
"They have offered refuge to a large Ti-
betan population."

'I‘ibet lies between India and (Ihi-
na. anti it has been a major contention
point between the two countries. (Thi-
na has laid claim to sovereignty over

Tibet for many centuries and most of

than any other institution in the state."

Todd said.

“I think that requires us to be funded
differently to meet the unique and vitally
important mission that the state requires
of us and needs from us to move Ken-

tucky forward."

Without this recognition and an ac-
celerated effort from state legislators to
give UK more funding. UK will not be i
able to reach its full potential. he said.

"A top research institution is an en-
gine for innovation. for economic devel—
opment. for breakthroughs in health care

and entrepreneurship." Todd said.

“It is a catalyst for moving a state for—

ward . "

'I‘he futures of UK and Kentucky
have reached a critical juncture. he said.
"We must dream big. or we will lose

big as a state." he said.

“If we don't aspire to do great things.
then we are condemning our state to con
mendous chal-
challenges with health care and
challenges with
poverty and impm'erishment and chal
lenges with continuing to lose our best
and brightest to places where opportuni-

“The question is not nec-

the margin," Grundy said.
”Diversity is synonymous
with excellence; it has to be

shooting was impressive.“

I’ll say. For a player who‘s
been touted to replace the
workhorse Chuck Hayes.
Sims has a touch Hayes only
dreamed of.

“He’s a very versatile.
well-rounded player." Smith
said. “He has a nose for the
ball. A good touch."

With UK up 10-8 in the
first half. Sims rattled off
three straight treys and took

UK’s 24 turnovers didn‘t
please Smith either.

Elf Power empowers indie

8y Nathan Thatcher
mm MUSIC cnmc

A checklist for those attending
tonight's Elf Power show: tension (to be
melted away). socks (to be rocked 0ft).
five bucks (to be handed to the fellow at
the door) and hallucinogens (selfex-
planatory). What else would you bring to
a show of pure psychedelic enjoyment?

Elf Power. a group from the illustri‘
ous Elephant 6 collective of indie good-
ness. brings along Impossible Shapes
and Los Pepiniyoz to treat us all to a
night full of wonderftu trippy. imagi-
native jams at The Dame. Andrew
Rieger (guitar. vocals). Laura Carter
(guitar, keyboards), Eric Harris (guitar).
Craig McQuiston (bass) and Aaron
Wegelin (percussion) comprise Elf Pow-

all in the same set.

Elf Power has been making music for a sol-
id decade. and has made songs that echo The
Flaming Lips. The Beatles and Sonic Youth.
though they‘ve built upon these sounds and
added synth. fuzz and poor recording equip-
ment to make that trademark indie sound.

Their 1999 release. “A Dream in Sound."
hallmarks the peak of their Lips-like sound.
with strident vocals sung over warbling. crack—

tracks like “High Atop the Silver Branches"
and “Simon (The Bird With the Candy Bar
Head)" sound a bit like the Lips “Clouds Taste
Metallic" but a little more mellow. with less
saccharine.

In this album and the 1997 effort, “When
the Red King Comes.” Elf Power sculpted its
image as a formidable and inventive psych/in-
die rock group. Listening to “Red King," you‘ll
swear you're listening to Pavement covering
“Magical Mystery Tour," though the Elves still
maintain a distinct yummy flavor of drug-in
duced floatation.

The latest release. “Walking With the Beg-
gar Boys.“ shows the Elves swerving away
from the dusty path of indie rock onto the well-
paved tread of pop. but not to a heretical de-

gree. Songs like “Never Believe.“ “Invisible
Men" and “Hole in My Shoe“ are certainly
more straightforward in their approach. and
what‘s so terrible about that? They‘re not quite
as challenging as their earlier material. but
still catchy and easy to listen to for a greater
number of listeners.

The album still maintains its roots with
tracks like “The Cracks." “Don't Let It Be‘ and
“Evil Eye." which sound much like their earli-
er work. with the synth alive and well in “The
Cracks." “Don‘t Let It Be" is a cold shower in
midst of the droning. meandering tracks. with
its choppy punk pace. It‘s a perfect way to stir
up the sur
