Proposed salary hikes could raise conflicts

Don't expect hiring freezes
again this year, Todd says

_B_y___ Sean Rose
THE muucxv mun

UK President lee Todd wants to give
both faculty and staff raises — but some
UK officials fear the difference in the
amount of money involved will cause
conflict and send the wrong message.

Todd said last week he’s proposed a
5.5 percent salary pool increase for all
faculty and a 3 percent salary pool in-
crease for all stafi'. Both faculty and staff
salary pools work on a merit-based sys-
tem, which rewards those who work
harder than others with a larger salary
increase.

Todd said he’s also proposed to allo
cate $5 million from UK’s general fund to
the staff employee benefits committee, to
“try to keep staff compensation competi-
tive.”

“Instead of a salary pool for distribu-
tion, we'd let the benefits committee look
at what would be best to do with that $5
million,’ Todd said.

“The point that I make is we’re in
a situation where we‘ re recruiting na-
tionally and internationally for faculty

with national salaries,” he said. “We are
still committed to being competitive with
staff salaries and looking for ways to use
that $5 million to help along
with that 3 percent raise.”

Staff and faculty have re
ceived the same raises in previ-
ous years. Last year, both
groups received a 4 percent
raise.

In the three years before
that, however, the average per
cent salary raise was 1.3 per-
cent, according to data from
UK’s budget office. One of
those years included no extra
compensation.

The differentiation this
year comes from UK’s Top20
Business Plan efforts, which
aim to make UK faculty
salaries competitive with its
benchmarks’ average salaries.

Leading staff members are
concerned that the lower raise, com-
pared to the faculty raise, will send the
wrong message to the staff.

“I’m saying now, it’s a bad idea,” said 0359-
Russ Williams, staff representative to the

Board of Trustees and a senior training
specialist for UK Human Resources “It
just sends and I don’ t think this is in

tentional —— an unfortunate
message to the staff.

“People are going to start
to doubt their value and how
much they are valued."

Kyle Dippery, chairman of
the Staff Senate’s executive
committee, said UK is doing its
best with limited resources
and priorities.

“I think it‘s not enough
money to do everything and
that the priority is to get the
faculty salary up so we can be
competitive with our bench-
marks." Dippery said. “If
there was enough money to go
around. I'm certain that the
staff would get the same
raise.”

Dippery said people could

choose to see the lower raise as a trou-
bling sign for the future, although he
added that he doesn't believe that’s the

President Lee Todd said he
doesn't foresee needing to im-
plement a faculty or staff hir-
ing freeze _. a scenario that’s
played out in two of the past
three years.

“I’m going to be looking at
ways for us to reduce costs as
part of the (TopZO) Business
Plan but I don’t see a
freeze,” Todd said in a recent
interview with The Kernel.
“In the past, when we’ve had
thefreezes thoseareaspart
of costcutting moves and bud-
get cuts."

Adding faculty is the first
step in the top20 plan, Todd
said.

“The one big thing about

the plan is that we want to
frontload with additional fac-
ulty because we want to get
our student-faculty ratio back
down to where it should be,”
Todd said. “We need to add
faculty before we increase the
size of the freshman class any
further."

Todd said UK must cut $2
million of its costs next year.

Since the state automati-
cally funds certain “general
fund" staff positions, UK cur-
rently possesses salary
monies for any unfilled posi-
tions, UK spokesman Jay
Blanton said during last
year’s hiring freeze.

A hiring freeze two years
ago saved UK between $12 mil-
lion and $13 million.

Dance ‘till you're blue in the feet

UK's first dance marathon raises a record amount for children battling cancer at UK's hospital

had never been so excited to sit down.

But it was the 24 straight hours of danc-
ing and staying on their feet , and not
sleeping —- that the participants of UK‘s
first-ever dance marathon fundraiser event
found more rewarding.

Pennington and about 180 other dancers
set out to remain upright for 24 straight
hours over the weekend during the first an-

nual DanceBlue, a dance marathon to raise
money for the pediatric oncology clinic at
UK’s Chandler Medical Center.

The event began at 9 pm. Friday and ran
until 9 pm. Saturday. DanceBlue imitates a
48-hour dance marathon called “The ‘Thon,"
which takes place annually at Penn State
University, the site of the first-ever dance
marathon.

“Physically, I‘m exhausted,“ Pennington
said. “Emotionally. l'm exhausted.

“But seeing the kids here changed every-
thing," she said. “Seeing what all they have

 

I—L‘

gone through made my sore feet feel like
nothing."

Pennington and Sarah Compton. a psy-
chology junior, were two of 18 dancers from
the Kappa Delta sorority.

“This is the best experience I've ever
had." Compton said. “I had so much fim see
ing how much this means to (the kids).“

DanceBlue raised $123,323 for the Pedi-
atric Oncology Clinic — a record among col-
lege fundraising dance events.

‘Warriors’

Collection shows roles of women
in the Underground Railroad

They were. all soldiers. whether black or
white. slave or free. and they fought not with
guns. but with their basements and cellars.

They took part in what became known as
the Underground Railroad. a network of hid-
ing places run by people who put their lives on
the line to help slaves reach the North. where
they could be free.

Now their story is being told through an ex-
hibit. “Warriors in the Shadows: Women of
the Underground Railroad." on display in the
W. T. Young Library gallery through the rest of
February and March.

Doris Wilkinson, a UK professor of sociolo-
gy. is also the exhibit curator for the collection
of photographs and
other materials.

said. She didn't llkt'

where she selected the
term “warrior" for
the people made up
the Underground Rails
road. Because much of
their work was in se-
cret, she called them
"warriors in the shad»
ows."

The exhibit on dis
play at UK is about
onethird of the entire
collection. The only
venue where there has
been enough space for

it held the first exhibition of the collection.

Speakers at the Friday grand opening of
the exhibit said this is a part of history that is-
n‘t well known.

"You would think this was a story that
had long since been told," said Blaine Hudson.
a professor of Pan-African Studies and an as-
sociate dean at the University of Louisville.
“We're studying what really should be seen as
one of the greatest human-rights movements
of all time.“

“This is new. groundbreaking history." said
Alicestyne Adams. director of the U nder-
ground Railroad Research Institute at George-
town College in Georgetown, Ky. “It‘s impor-
tant because women of the Underground Rail-
road have never been documented."

By telling this story, more of American his-
tory overall is told, said J. John Harris III,
master of ceremonies at the event, UK educa-
tion professor and scholar-in-residence with

By Walter Pincus
THE WASHINGTON POSI

WASHINGTON — Two
key Democrats yesterday
called the National Security
Agency domestic surveil-
lance program necessary for
fighting terrorism but ques-
tioned whether President
Bush had the legal authority
to order it done without get-
ting congressional approval.

Rep. Jane Harman
(Calif). ranking Democrat
on the House Permanent Se-
lect Committee on Intelli-
gence, and former Senate
majority leader Tom
Daschle (S.D.) said Republi-
cans are trying to create a
political issue over Democ-
rats’ concern on the constiv
tutional questions raised by
the spying program.

At the same time, the Re-
publican chairmen of the
Senate and House Intelli-
gence committees _ Sen.
Pat Roberts (Kan.) and Rep.
Peter Hoekstra (Mich), who
attended secret NSA briefin-
gs — said they supported
Bush’s right to undertake
the program without new
congressional authorization.
They added that Democrats
briefed on the program, who
included Harman and
Daschle, could have taken
steps if they believed the
program was illegal. All
four appeared on NBC’s
“Meet the Press."

Roberts said he could not
remember Democrats rais-
ing questions about the pro-
gram during briefings that,
beginning in 2002, were giv-
en to the “Gang of Eight."
That group was made up of
the House speaker and mi-
nority leader, the majority
and minority leaders of the
Senate and the chairmen

and ranking Democrats of
the House and Senate intelli-

gence committees.

At the briefings, Roberts
said, “Those that did the
briefing would say, ‘Do you
have questions? Do you have
concerns?‘ ” Hoekstra said if
Democrats thought Bush
was violating the law, “it
was their responsibility to
use every tool possible to get
the president to stop it."

Harman countered that
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-
W.Va., vice chairman of the
Senate intelligence panel,
had voiced his concerns to
Vice President Dick Cheney
in a classified letter in July
2003. but “if he had shared
that letter publicly, I think
he would have been in viola-
tion of the Espionage Act.
the disclosure of classified
information.”

Harman said the briefin-
gs she received concerned
“the operational details of

the program," which she
supported. “However,” she
added. “the briefings were

not about the legal under-
pinnings of the program."

She said it was not until
Bush publicly spoke about
the program. after it was re
vealed in the New York
Times in December. that she
was free to discuss it with
House staff and constitu-
tional lawyers.

Daschle said he wants
the program to continue but
maintained that the war—
rantless wiretapping of calls
that came into the United
States or calls made over-
seas, even those involving
suspected terrorist sources.
violate the Foreign Intelli-
gence Surveillance Act.

He recalled that after the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks Bush
asked Congress to revise the
surveillance act v to initi-
ate wiretaps and get war-
rants after 72 hours if to
make it easier to use against

Democrats question Bush’s
authority to order spying

terrorists. Those changes
were made. But in the autho-
rization to fight al-Qaida,
Bush was denied language
that would have covered ac-
tivities on US. soil.

Harman noted the House
and Senate intelligence com-
mittees were briefed last
week on domestic wiretap-
ping. “We're only 36 mem-
bers total that we‘re talking
about. and those members
should decide whether this
program fits within the law,
and if it does. which I think
it does. we should all declare
victory. If it does not. then
we should be changing the
law or changing the pro-
gram."

The three current intelli-
gence committee members
talked about the article in
Foreign Affairs by Paul R.
Pillar. the former senior CIA
intelligence analyst on Iraq.
He criticized the Bush ad-
ministration for “cherry
picking" intelligence to jus-
tify a decision it had already
reached to go to war. while
ignoring assessments that
problems would emerge af-
ter Saddam Hussein was re-
moved.

Roberts said Pillar did
not give his committee that
kind of assessment. Hoek-
stra questioned why Pillar
was speaking out now.

Harman said: “He was
trying to get everyone‘s at-
tention. Intelligence was ig—
nored. Yes. everyone agreed
there was (weapons of mass
destruction) in Iraq. but the
weight of the (intelligence
community’s) recommenda-
tion was Saddam was con-
tained and he wasn't going
to use it.

“And that‘s the part that
the administration never let
us hear about." Harman
said.

TECH CHECK I not just for geeks

Legal, legit tunes
for less money:
AllofMP3.eom

With the music industry con-
stantly dishing out lawsuits and Dig-
ital Millenium Copyright Act notifi-
cations, the pressure has been on In-
ternet service providers and organi-
zations such as UK
to control the
amount of illegal
downloading.

Now that it's
more difficult and
less safe to down-
load from peer—to-
peer sources. more
and more people
have been turning
to legitimate
sources for music.
including Apple‘s
iTunes Music
Store. eMusie.com and Napster.

Yet most people are still reluc-
tant to dish out $0.99 a song or $9.99
for an entire album on iTunes, espe~
cially when Digital Rights Manage
ment (DRM) prevents them from
previewing it and curtails their abil-
ity to listen to it on multiple com.
puters or MP3 players,

The solution is
AllofMP3.com.

AllofMP3 is a Russian site with a
huge catalog of music. Because it's
Russian. the cost of the music is sig-
nificantly lower than that of any US-
based music store. For $0.02 per
megabyte. you can download any al-
bum in their collection. One
megabyte is approximately equiva~
lent to one minute of music. so an
entire album costs somewhere in
the neighborhood of $1.50.

The two best features about the
AllofMP3 service for me, however.
are the absence of DRM 7‘7 meaning

simple:

you can use your music files any-
where, on however many computers
or iPods you want — and the ability
to preview the music before you buy
it.

With the rise of popularity of
AllofMP3's service, there has been
an ever-intensifying debate about
the legality of the service. No wor-
ries, though: AllofMP3 has signed
agreements with the Russian equiv-
alent of the Recording Industry As-
sociation of America. so to pur-
chase an album from AllofMP3 from
within Russia is guaranteed to be le-
gal.

United States import laws also
allow importing of compact discs
and non-restricted data from a for-
eign country for personal use.
Therefore, one is essentially buying
the music in Russia and importing
it to the United States over the Inter-
net.
