BDT approves research structure changes

By Blair Thomas
news®kykernetcom

UK‘s research organiza-
tion. currently ranked No. 34
among public universities, is
undergoing major organizas
tional changes that UK Presi-
dent Lee Todd said will benefit
the community.

The Board of Trustees ap-
proved plans to restructure the
organization of the research
side of the university to the

provost model at yesterday‘s
meeting. Todd announced the
plans in an e-mail to faculty
and staff about two weeks ago.

"This is an organizational
structure that I've been imple-
menting since I first took my
job at UK." Todd said. "It is a
plan that I think best benefits
everyone. and it creates clearer
and more defined reporting
lines throughout the organiza—

tion. In addition. 60 percent of

our benchmark universities are
aligned this way."

Accompanying this change
is the development of an ()f—
fice for Economic Develop-
ment and Commercialization
that will further emphasize the
role UK plays in local and
state economic development
efforts. Todd said.

The main purpose of this
office will be to help bring re-
search conducted in the univer-
sity labs to the marketplace.

“Bringing the findings of

our research into the communi-
ty is a passion that l have. and

GSA sponsors
Coming Out
Day events

By Aaron Croce
news@kykerne|.com

A newly—formed student group is inviting
the campus to help it celebrate Coming Out
Day. a nationally recognized day aimed at rais—
ing awareness about the gay and lesbian com—
munity.

UK's Gay-Straight Alliance is sponsoring
Coming Out Day events at the Student Center
patio today from H am. to 2 pm.

The theme of this year's event. which is or—
ganized nationally by the Human Rights Cam-
paign Foundation. is "Talk About It." This
theme is indicative of both the goal of the event
and that of the GSA in general. said Keith
Brooks. a journalism senior. who is also a Ker—
nel writer.

“We are trying to spread the word." Brooks
said. “The GSA is different than past UK (gay
and lesbian) organizations because we are more
involved with the UK and Lexington communi-
ties. We are doing volunteer work. organizing
events and bringing in guest speakers."

Another distinction that GSA boasts is its
inclusion of members known as “allied people"
,_ those who do not identify as gay. lesbian or
transgender but support the rights of people
who do. Brooks said.

“Anyone can join." Brooks said. “Its not
just for gay men. as some organizations have
been. l am excited about the group's potential."

Today‘s event will include a raffle with
many prizes donated by local businesses such
as Jonk. Mia‘s. CD Central and others. said
Sarah Caragianis. a social work sophomore. it
will also offer people a chance to get to know
the organization. which was formed earlier this
year.

“It‘s going to be really fun. and people will
have a good time if they show up." Caragianis
said.

Coming Out Day also offers students a
chance to learn about coming out and being
gay in UK and Lexington. Caragianis said.
There will be information about issues such as
gay—friendly churches. sexual health and allied
people.

The event will also feature guest speakers.
who will tell their own stories about coming

Midterm Madness
provides guidance
for freshmen

By Jenniler White

news@kykernel;oin

Freshmen concerned with their first round of
midterms can find guidance at UK‘s first-ever
Midterm Madness.

Midtemi Madness. sponsored by the College of
Arts and Sciences Ambassadors, will be today
from 6 to 7 pm. at the KirWan—Blanding courtyard
on South Campus.

Although the event is geared toward freshmen.
any student who wants study tips is welcome.

“All advisers from the college will be there."
said Anthony Mullins. the president of the College
of Arts and Sciences Ambassadors. “If you‘re hav-
ing trouble with a class. an adviser can direct you
where to ﬁnd help. They also know what to expect
from certain classes. which classes are hard and
how much time to put into studying for those class-
es.

Mullins said enough free pizza and drinks to
feed about 500 people will be provided. along with
information on how to do well on midtenns.

l have not spent enough time
with it." Todd said.

The office will report di—
rectly to him.

UK ranks No. 23 among
public universities in technolo-
gy transfer and commercializa<
tion efforts. according to a re—
port by the Milken Institute.
which ranks the success of uni—
versities in the processes of
economic development.

“We‘re already a leader in
translating research from the
university to the marketplace."

Todd said. “The formation of
this office demonstrates the
commitment we have to ensur-
ing that a top-20 public re~
search institution helps create a
state that's in the top 20 for the
quality of life and economy af-
forded its citizens."

The new office will serve
as a portal for technology
transfer based on university re-
search and as a portal for ac—
cessing UK assets by business
and government organizations,
according to the act passed by

the board.

It will also oversee all the
resources the university uti-
li/es' in commercialization ef-
forts.

“This new structure is a de-
sign established at many of our
benchmark institutions." Todd
said. “I firmly believe it will
facilitate the alignment of re-
search priorities across the.en—
tire academic enterprise and
help us move our research en—
deavors to the next level."

In the past. Longoria has

The only indication of
the breakup? The absence of
her signature bling: a dia-
mond No. 9 pendant given to
her by the San Antonio
Spurs star (it's his number).

Even some of those clos-
est to her were in the dark.
Pal and fellow partygoer
Carmen Electra told Us. "I
didn't even know about it!"

She may not be the only
one. Two days later. Parker.
in Lyon. France. for NBA

"Everything‘s fine." said
the Belgium-born Parker. 24.
“A couple things happened.
but that's nothing."

Tony are going through a
very difficult time."

The breaking point. says
a Longoria source. came
when the actress learned

Soon afterward. during a

Engineering fair
offers students
career connections

By Chuck Allen
newskakernelcom

Engineering students will
have a chance to jump—start their
careers today. as almost 90 com-
panies come to campus in
search of future hires.

The College of Engineering
Career Fair, sponsored by the
Society of Women Engineers.
offers students the opportunity
to find internships and jobs after
graduation.

"It’s important that I learn
as much as l cart about my pro—
fession and get real work experi-
ence under my belt." said Ryan
Studer, a civil engineering junior
who plans to attend the fair in
hopes of landing a co—op posi-
tion. "lntemships allow you to
be hands-on with your major
and help you to discover if this
is truly what you want to do
with your life."

Diane Freeman, engineering
freshman adviser and coordina-
tor of women and minority pro—
grams, said the benefit of this
career fair is threefold.

“(First) it serves as a
fundraiser for the SWE. en-
abling them to provide scholar-
ships and monies toward various
trips for its members." Freeman
said. "Secondly. it benefits all
students by giving them the op—
portunity to find excellent co—op
positions and to explore their

field of interest. Thirdly. it helps
our graduate students to find a
job upon completion of their
studies."

Freeman said career fairs
help both academia and indus-

"We provide the companies
with potential future employees,
while we can learn how to tailor
our engineering departments to
meet the specifications of the
job market." Freeman said.

In past events. students have
found co-op placement all
across the country.

Between 700 and 800 stu-
dents are expected to attend this
year‘s event. Students planning
to attend the event are advised
to target a reasonable number of
companies that interest them.
Duke Energy. Humana. the FBI.
GE. Procter & Gamble and Toy-
ota are all scheduled to have
representatives at the fair.

Early arrival and profession—
al dress are recommended. At—
tendees are also encouraged to
bring at least 20 copies of their
resume.

The career fair will run from
11) am. to 3 pm. in the Student
Center Ballrooms. For a com—
plete list of companies attending
visit the career f’air's Web site

stronger economic and trade
measures that would permit in»

Q. What is the Graduate
Student Congress?

. . The Graduate Student
Congress is a representative or-
ganization for graduate students
that is carnpuswide. l’p until
this year. there was no graduate
organization except for one rep-
resentative on the student coun»
crl. biit undergraduate is very
different from the graduate
school.

Myself and two otlters went
to a graduate student association
conference. and we rl'ls') were
the oitly school out of 30 who
didn‘t haye one. There was so
rntich excitement and energy »
we thought the time was now.

. When was the Graduate
Student Congress formed at
['K?

We started irt May. and
over the course of rise to six
months. people front 30 differ—
ent programs were officially
representing departments. it
there is a program out there that
is not involyed. we want them
to be, We represent both mas-
ters and Phi). students.

Q. Why did you think it was
necessary to form this organi-
zation?

By \irtue of not having
one on carnpirs. there was no
\oice. As graduate students. we
want to be proactrye. When stui
dents. faculty and staff have
questions. we w ant them to
know who to talk to, .liist today.
I received 13 emails from grad-
uate students who want to get
rnvolsed. We want to represent
the graduate students on issues
that may or' may not he impor-
tant to undergraduates. like
health care.

Q. What are your goals for
the Graduate Student (‘on-
gress‘.’

I want the (ir‘adirate Sit]?
tlcril (’ongr'ess to be a place for
graduate students to come arid
lta\c their needs addressed or
suggest ways to rrrake their e»
perrence better.

We hope to address the is,
sues of international students.
health care and l..\ rteachrng
assistalttl concerns.

I want the Graduate Student
(‘ongress to highlight the protes~
sional development. like the re
search symposium does. for tlte

university as a whole. the facul—
ty. staff and administration need
to recogrrr/e and come to us.

Q..What issues does the
Graduate Student Congress
focus on?

\\c are in the process of
defining those things, We held
foriirris to see what the graduate
stirderrts‘ concerns are. Right
now. the mam concern is health
insurance. because unlike under~
graduates. we are no longer cot —
ered by our parents insurance.

Another rssiie that we are
concerned about is graduate stit—
derii housing. lrrter'natronal stu—
dents ar'e also \ery concerned
about this issue. When was the
last time they spent money on
their housing? New housing was
giiist hiiilt tor' the undergraduates.

. How does the Graduate
Student (‘ongress help gradu-
ate students?

(lire of the prongs ot the
Graduate Student ('ongress is
connection Most graduates li\e
in one building. I basically li\e
m the (ii'chan l‘liirlding because
lam m the School oi (‘ominimri
cations. I don‘t hayc a chance to

dents at [is

This year we had a lsle'l'vttll
cookout. and lllll students came.
arid we had an ice cream social
that 35” students came to This
shows that w heir there are that
many people interested. there is
.1 need.

Q. Why is the Graduate Stu—
dent (‘ongress also important

to undergrad students?

There are 6.000 of us
rgraduate students) on campus.
While not all. a lot of us are in-
volyed with the campus. There
is a good chalice that an tinder—
grad has beert taught by a grad»
irate student.

lirom the money perspec-
ti\e. we work on it lot of the
funding that UK receives. Also.
a lot of undergraduates might
some day he graduate students
themselves. The (iraduate Stu—
dent (‘oirncil gives them sortie-
thmg to look lorward to. if they
stay here. or something they can
look to at other universities.
