CELEBRATING 36 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

State limits UK tuition increase to 9 percent

§y_ill La__stor

ilaster@kykernel.com

Tuition for next year cannot exceed a 9
percent increase. the Kentucky Council on
Postsecondary Education decided yesterday.

The tuition cap is pan of an annual rec—
ommendation package the C PE will present
to the General Assembly when it convenes
in January. The CPE's budget proposal is a
recommendation but the tuition cap is set.

“When the council sets its parameter. it
will say ‘this is the total cap. the maximum
you can raise tuition.‘ " said John Hayek.
interim vice president of finance for the
CPE,

For undergraduates at UK. a 9 percent
tuition increase would mean Kentucky resi-
dents would pay an extra $325 each semes-
ter. In-state graduate students would pay

about $345 more per semester.

For out-of-state students, undergradu—
ates would pay about Sbth more per semes-
ter and graduate students would pay $730
more per semester.

Last year. the CPE set the tuition cap at
9 percent. and UK increased tuition and
mandatory fees the same amount. In 2005—
06 the UK Board of Trustees approved a l2
percent increase. 3 percent less than the
CPE cap of 15 percent.

UK's Top 20 Business Plan calls for a 9
percent tuition increase every year through
2012. and a 4 percent increase every year
after that through 2020.

UK Provost Kumble Subbaswamy de—
clined to comment on what the exact tuition
increases would be for 2008—09. saying it is
still too early to have a detailed discussion
on tuition,

The governor and the General Assem-
bly set the final amount of state funding UK
receiyes. The university must see if the
funding amounts are changed in the budget
process before potential tuition numbers are
discussed said UK spokesman Jay Blanton

'I don I think we would even w ant to
speculate about potential tuition costs until
sometime next year when we get a better
sense of where the budget is heading."
Blanton said.

As part of its proposal. the CPE also
recommended a $5] million increase in
UK‘s share of the state's general—fund dol-
lars $9.5 million less than what UK
President Lee Todd requested for the 2008-
2010 General Assembly biennium budget.

Cats stumble' In final exhibition tune- up

81 Kenny (2&5th

kcolston@kvkernel com

For most exhibition games. the home team is
looking to work out any weaknesses against an
inferior opponent before the regular season
starts.

But nobody told that to the Ohio Legends.
who dominated the UK women‘s basketball team
last night. handing the Cats an ugly 88-79 loss in
their final exhibition game in front of l.271 fans at
Memorial Colisuem.

“We are obviously disappointed." head coach
Matthew Mitchell said. "We knew it was a test
because they had already beat a couple of
teams."

The Cats seemingly decided to have their op-
ponent live up to the their nickname — the Leg-
ends _ by being outscored. out-rebounded and
outplayed against a team that is made up of former
collegiate and high school basketball players from
the state of Ohio.

"I told the team that this was just an exhibition
and we needed to learn from it." Mitchell said.
“But we can‘t play this way and win during the
season."

Everything seemed to go against the Cats in
the first half. when they were troubled by the Leg-
ends‘ defense. UK‘s only lead of the game came
on freshman forward Victoria Dunlap's layup with
just under 15 minutes left. But the Legends made
sure the Cats’ lead did not last behind a suffocat—
ing full court press.

We played lifeless in the first half.
said. "Our group didn't respond well."

Breaking the Legends‘ defensive pressure
was not the only problem for the Cats in the first
half.

The team shot a dismal lZ-of—33 from the
floor before halftime. Sophomore forward Lydia
Watkins led UK with eight points off the bench.
but the rest of the L'K offense struggled to pene-
trate the Legends‘ full- court press.

Senior guard Samantha Mahoncy started the
half l) for- 6 from the field and did not score her
first points until 8.26 left in the first half.

"We had some good shots." Mitchell said.
“But it takes a while for the offense to catch up.
It‘s hard to coach on making shots."

LlK‘s depth in the frontcourt was tested early
and often because of the absence of senior center
Sarah Elliott. who missed her second-straight
game with a hip tlexor injury. and junior forward
Eleia Roddy. who is still recovering from an an»
terior cruciate ligament injury she suffered last
year.

When junior forward .Ienn'e Jackson picked
up her second foul four minutes into the game.
Mitchell was forced to go to his young bench.

Without the Cats' three eldest fronicourt play»
ers on the floor. the Legends exploited UK‘s inex-
pericnced post players for 32 points in the paint.

“We played some young. inexperienced play-
ers in the post.” Mitchell said. “(We had) too
many defense breakdowns and they got easy
shots. And we fouled entirely too much."

The Legends opened the second half with a 9—
2 run but the Cats did not give up. forcing [8 sec—
ond half tumovers from increased defensive pres—
sure.

Democrats and Republicans may agree the
only poll that counts is the one taken today at
\oting booths across the state. but in a final
poll released yesterday by SurvcyI'SA. De—
mocratic challenger Stcye Beshear led Repub
licaii Gov Iimic I-‘letclicr by 20 points

Despite Beshear’s consistent lead in the
Stiry‘eyl‘SA and the Lexington Herald

“The polls have been all over the map."
said Fletcher spokesman Jason Keller. "We
think this race Is much tighter than these polls
reflect."

Beshear was not relying on his lead and
spent yesterday traveling across the state to
encourage people to get out and vote. said
spokeswoman \‘icki Glass.

"He knows the only vote that counts is the
one on Election Day. she said.

In the first SurveytiSA poll after the gu—

Fletcher by 28 points. according to the May

Hayek said the university could
acquire funding through special
appropriations and other funding
from the state over the course of
the biennium.

But without outside funding to
match the amount Todd has said
UK needs. the university may be
forced to raise tuition more than it
would otherwise. Hayek said.

“There‘s only a limited number
of ways funding can be generat-
ed.“ he said.

Lawmakers will make the final
decision on how much funding
UK will receive this spring.

"In the past couple of years.
the C PE has made a recommenda-
tion. and the General Assembly
has taken that as kind of guid-
ance.“ said state Rep. Bill Farmer.

State Rep. Bob Damron. D—

would receive a $I7.6 million in-

In presentations to CPE com-

an additional $19.8 million for
2008-09 and $20.9 million on top
of that for 2009- I0.

In a statement released yester-
day. Todd called the C PE proposal
a “positive first step“ in acquiring
higher-education funding. and said
funding UK‘s Top 20 Business
Plan is “essential."

Blanton declined to comment
on how UK would acquire more
funding if the General Assembly
approves the C PE‘s recommenda-
tion.

Although the recommendation
is less than what UK requested.

said Mark Peffley. a political
science professor. “In this
case however. Beshear's 20
point lead over Fletcher in
the polls has not fluctuated
much for several months,
which leads one to believe
the margin is steady and re-

Peffley. who specializes

“We are going to only discuss the
motion." Tagavi said. “No more debates
on the merit of logging."

The resolution could pass in its en-
tirety. or a senator could make a motion
to exclude the part of the recommenda-
tion calling for a temporary halt to the
logging of Robinson Forest.

“1 want desperately for both of these
motions to fly. but I would hate to see
nothing." Lesnaw said.

Debate over the worth of logging the
forest reached its apex in September. The
project would serve as research. testing
the effects of logging on streams.

The Senate Council also talked yes-
terday about how the University Senate
will handle discussion of the University
Studies Program reforms.

Initially. the Senate planned to talk
about changes to the USP program dur-
ing its November meeting and vote on
the proposal in December.

Last week. UK Provost Kumble Sub-
baswamy announced that USP discussion
in the Senate would wait until spring.
giving the USP Steering Committee time
to revise the suggested program based on
recommendations made at three faculty
forums last month.

Subbaswamy will give a presentation
on the progress of the new USP program
at this month‘s Senate meeting. However.
a discussion like the one initially planned
will not happen. Tagavi said.

“If a senator decides to raise their
hand and say “I disagree with this.‘ I‘m
not going to stop it." Tagavi said. “How-
ever there will be no (USP) agenda in
front of us."

 

Influencing state legislature
IS focus for new service club

By Wesley Robinson
news®kykernelcom

Two students wanted to dedicate some
of their time to the community. so they es-
tablished a UK chapter of a national service
organization with hopes of influencing leg-
islation to improve citizen's lives this se-
mester.

Co-founders Jeff Steller. a mathematical
economics junior. and Mallory Brown, a nu-
trition and food science senior.
began working in the spring to
get the volunteer organization
Results up and running. Memv
bers of the organization meet
twice a month on Tuesdays in
the Center for Student Involve-
ment in the Student Center.

"I volunteer just because I
care about people." Brown said.
“We are all technically one big
family. and we owe it to each
other to take care of one anoth-
er."

The purpose and goal of the
organization is to give students a
chance to speak out and get ac-
tive but also to give students an
opportunity to get involved in
volunteering.

“I think it's good when students get in-
volved with their time. talents and money."
said Laura Hatfield. the Center for Commu-
nity Outreach adviser.

“When students get involved, their pas-
sion gets heard." said Hatfield. who is also
the assistant director of student involvement
in the center.

Program bill through drafting letters and
hosting a phone-a—thon. The state bill is in-
tended to expand Kentucky‘s health for fam-
ilies with children under the age of IQ with-
out insurance. Steller said. but it has been
losing support within the Kentucky House of
Representatives.

Results also decided to diversify the or»

Generally food stamps and

them. Steller said.

att Student Recreation Fields behind the

“This is the first time that the strongest
man competition has been held on a college
campus." said Beth Atnip. fitness director at

the Johnson Center. “So. I really want peo-
ple to come out and support the University

move on to the final round. which is Thurs-
day at 3 pm.

Finalists will compete in four events: the
farmer‘s walk. the car dead lift. the loading

universities to a regional competition. Re-
gional winners will compete in a national
competition. and the national winner will
