THE KENTUCKY

Kerne

Celebrating 33 years of independence

Tuition topic of campus forum

By Keren Henderson
IHE KENIUCKY mum

With the sting of another tuition in-
crease ahead. students will have a
chance to talk with state officials today
about the affordability of their educa-
tion.

State Treasurer Jonathan Miller
and Secretary of State Trey Grayson
will meet with students today at 10 am.
in Room 230 in the Student Center.

“What students need to think about
is that most decisions are being made
right now." said Student Government
President Rachel Watts.

“We need the mindset that. if we
get in on the front end of things. we
can make a difference."

The Cradle to College Commission
is considering providing Kentucky
children with college savings accounts
in return for their commitment to one
year of full-time community service.

Miller and Grayson put together
the commission. Several other commis-
sion members will also attend today‘s
hearing.

“This is a great opportunity for stu-
dents to talk to people who can make a
difference.“ Watts said. “These are peo—
ple who want to listen and can make a
change."

In the commission’s most recent
idea. the state would set up savings ac-
counts for newborns in Kentucky.

To get access to that money for col-
lege. those children would have to pro-
vide community or military service in
Kentucky after their senior year of
high school.

This is the commission's second
hearing.

“At the first hearing. we talked
about the logistics of the program. Is it
feasible?" said Angela Burton. one of
the commission’s executive directors.

“But by the end of that hearing. we
had one question: What do students say
about this?"

Students from colleges around the
state will speak at the forum.

Burton said she hopes several stu-
dents from UK will show up as well. es-
pecially since UK‘s tuition will be in-
creasing for a fourth straight year.

“Tuition could be a sore subject for

people right now." she said. "And it’s
important to have that debate."

Many students burdened by tuition
and loans want to talk.

“Obviously college is expensive.
and I don’t want to be paying it off for
my whole life." said Mallory Marshall.
an undeclared freshman who plans to
attend the hearing before class. “And
then my kids will have to go to college.
and I'll have to pay for that."

Lisa Ferris. a sociology freshman
who worries about how she will pay
back her student loans. said she also
wants to speak to officials.

“People older than us might not re-
alize that we’re teenagers and 20some-
things, and we‘re having trouble pay-
ing the thousands and thousands of
dollars for education." she said.

Burton said the commission wants
to understand the student perspective.

“At this juncture. student input is
crucial." she said. “It is important that
students are involved because ultimate-
ly. that is who we are trying to help."

Comedian’s fans find themselves Carrot Top-less

By Stephen Burnett
IHE KENIUCKY kt’RNtt

An appearance by comedian Carrot
Top at the Singletary (‘enter was
abruptly canceled. much to the dismay
of more than 240 tick-
et holders.

“They just didn't
sell enough tickets."
said Singletary Center
office manager Doreen
MacDonough.

Ticket holders can
call 257-4929 for re
funds. said Singletary
(Tenter director Holly
Salisbury:

Carrot Top

“We are contacting all ticket pur-
chasers to make them aware of the
postponement. and we‘ll handle re~
funds and exchange of tickets.“ she
said.

Dr ticket holders can hang onto
their tickets and wait until the
rescheduled date next semester. Oct. 4.

“At this point. Carrot Top's inan-
agers are rescheduling it for then and I
have it on our scheduling calendar."
Salisbury said.

MacDonough blamed lackluster
press coverage and unusually high
ticket prices for the cancellation.

"It was mostly due to low ticket
sales and bad timing. with students
just coming back to classes." Salisbury

said.

“Maybe students can‘t afford $25 for
a ticket." when they‘re used to receiv-
ing discounts. MacDonough said. “If
they had given a 85 discount it might
have sold more. “Hopefully in the fall it
will work out better.“

Officials at University Health Services hope to expand their facilities
within three years in effort to retain their national accreditation.

UHS hopes to grow
to meet standards

By Becky Hall

Too few reception areas.
restrooms and telephones.

Inadequate patient priva-
cy during exams. consulta‘
tions and treatment.

Limited staff. equipment.
supplies and space.

These are just a few of
the concerns regarding the
current status of University
Health Services. said Direc-
tor Dr. Gregory Moore.

The Accreditation Associ-
ation for Ambulatory Health
Care cited these and other
problems with University
Health Services' facilities.
suggesting that UK could po-
tentially lose its three-year
accreditation in 2005 if it
cannot fully comply with rec-
ommended space standards.

In December. the UK
Board of Trustees approved
a $20 million building expan-
sion for University Health.
The plan must also be ap-
proved by the Kentucky Gen-
eral Assembly and be

deemed a university priority
by the Board of Directors be-
fore ground can be broken

“What we’re interested in
doing is having UHS similar
to other large benchmark
schools.“ he said.

Pat Terrell. vice president
for student affairs. said UK
ranks last among benchmark
schools in the amount of
square feet in their student

“Quality medical care is
important for students to

Hikes in student fees next year
may make up for losing LCC funds

By Shannon Mason

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

Students can expect fee
increases for the 2005-2006
school year. said UK officials
yesterday.

These fees will go to stu-
dent organizations such as
Student Government. the
Student Activities Board and
WRFL.

“I think it's very likely
the fees will go up for those
student organizations for
several reasons." said Pat
Terrell. vice president of stu-
dent affairs.

These reasons include
salary increases for SG‘s em-
ployees and a 21 percent re-
duction in revenue to the
three organizations from the
loss of Lexington Communi-
ty College fees that begins
July I. 2006.

Other options pertaining
to the fees include phased fee
increases. delaying the in-
crease until next year. or not
raising fees at all and letting

"Those are some issues
we need to talk about." Ter-
rell said.

Discussions between Ter-
rell and the three organiza-
tions‘ leaders will take place
next week. so the exact
amount of fee increase is not
yet known.

“I really could not predict
what the increase will be
without talking to students
first." she said.

Terrell also commented
that there may be an in-
crease in fees for dining

General says US. underestimated insurgent force

By Patrick J. McDonnell
LOS merits mars

BAGHDAD. Iraq US. forces
killed or captured about 15.000 sus-
pected militants in Iraq last year.
the top US. commander said yester-
day. suggesting that the American
military has underestimated the
strength of the insurgency

The new figures suggest that
previous estimates of an insurgent
force of 6.000 to 0.000 fighters were
inaccurate. Gen. George W. Casey
said in a rare meeting with the US.
media.

But (‘asey described a recent es.
timate by Iraq's intelligence chief
that the insurgency numbered as
many as 40.000 hard-core fighters
and swr-lled to 200.000 when part-
time combatants and sympathizers
Were included.

“It‘s not a number I would sub»
scribe to." (‘asey said. a four-star

general who is in charge of more
than 150.000 US. and other coalition
troops.

The size of the insurgency has
become a matter of debate as the
guerrilla war drags on and casual-
ties mount on all sides.

Yesterday. Casey declined to pro»
vide a fresh estimate of the size of
the guerrilla force. as have other
top US. officials in recent days.

Their reluctance reflects in part
a lack of solid intelligence about
the shadowy rebel forces.

The insurgency. (‘asey said. had
become “better organized“ in re
cent months. though US. comman
ders say the force still lacks a cen-
tral command.

The top general predicted a suc-
cessful election Sunday. even
though the US. expects insurgents
to mount attacks on voters and
polling stations.

i

In the long term. (‘asey said. the
only way to win the war was to
muster effective Iraqi security
forces.

That will take time: Iraqi police
units ran away recently in the face
of insurgent threats in the cities of
Mosul and Ramadi

"We can't stay in front on this
over the long haul and be success
ful." (‘asey said. “We're viewed by
the people . as an occupation
force."

In his overview. (‘asey reiterat
ed what has become the military's
consensus View: The insurgency is
largely a home-grown rebellion fu-
eled by resentment among lraq's
Sunni Muslim Arab minority.

Saddam Hussein loyalists. the
general said. are seeking to revive
"Sunni dominance" in Iraq.

Sunni Arabs lost their domi-
nant position in Iraqi society after

US. forces toppled Saddam. a Sunni
who brutally repressed

Iraq‘s Shiite Muslim out ”We can't

stay in front
on this over
the long haul
and be suc-
cessful. We’re
viewed as
an occupation

jority and its Kurdish mi
nority. Sunni clerics and
political leaders have
launched a boycott of the
elections.

Foreign fighters here.
(‘asey said. likely nunt
her no more than 1.000
a tenth or less of the total
fighting force. by conserv
vative estimates.

This undermines an
assertion propagated by
some US. officials that re-
ligious militants from
across the Muslim world
were behind the insur-
gency.

He rejected the oft-re
peated suggestion that
suicide attackers here are

Gen. George Casey

top US. commander

exclusively foreign fighters from
other Arab and Muslim
lands.

“There‘s kind of an
axiom out there that says
Iraqis aren't suicide
bombers." Casey said.

“I believe there are
Iraqi Islamic extremists
(who) are very capable
of getting into cars and
blowing themselves up."

In the run-up to the
elections. commanders
have documented a spike
in intimidation of poten-
tial voters and others.

Since Jan. 1. Casey
said. insurgents had
“murdered" 375 civilians
and Iraqi security men —
the latter condemned as
collaborators by the in-

surgency.

Electronic check-in first step in UHS renovations

Iv Becky Mall
11: minim m

Patients visiting Univer-
sity Health Services can now
check in electronically, as
part of the department's
move toward becoming more
efficient.

Director Gregory Moore
said the check~in kiosks are
the first step in a plan for a
fully electronic medical
records system.

“The plan is that in the
new UHS building we will
have a fully electronic med-
ical records system that will
allow us to save money and
time. and treat patients more

efficiently" Moore said. “The
self-check-in kiosks solve the
problem of lines and clog-
ging up at the front desk."
When students walk into
the lobby of University
Health Services. they can
check in on one of five com-
puters. Students swipe their
student identification cards
and their name and informa-
tion will appear on the
screen for verification. The
computer gives the student’s
appointment time and asks
him or her to proceed to the
waiting area. First-time UHS
patients will proceed to the
front desk to fill out a med-

ical record. The system has
been used since Jan. 24.

Moore said the self
check-in system also allows
University Health Services to
keep up with students' con-
tact information.

“Many times students
don’t use their UK email ad-
dress or change phone num-
bers without our knowing.
This system ensures that we
have a patient's uptodate in-
formation in case we need to
contact them for test results
or any other information."
he said.

said University Health will
continue to provide the most
effective and efficient med-
ical services possible within
a very confined space.

Downing said the student
health committee hopes to

priority.

“We know that not all stu-
dents use UHS; however. all
students should make an ef-
fort to lobby for any improve-
ments on campus." he said.

Pans heat up in Iron Chef competition

By Elizabeth Troutman

’TH‘E fihlu’cfi‘l‘ttfilfl

Food Network junkies
and food lovers alike should
make plans to attend Dining
Service‘s first Iron Chef
Competition. today at the
Commons Market.

The fittest chefs on cam
pus are firing up their skil»
lets this afternoon to take on
the 75-minute task of prepar-
ing a rack of lamb. which
will be sampled out to stu~
dents. Competitors are also
required to prepare a side
dish.

“We‘re not the fish and
the bread. but we will be giv-
ing out samples until they
are gone." said Jeff DeMoss.
director of (lilting services.

The line-up of chefs in-
clude Student (‘enter manag
er. J. Rogers. manager of the
Intermezzo. Bill Hallman. su~
pervisor of the Commons
Market. Mark Henson. and
Rob Reed. supervisor of Stu-
dent Center catering. The
competition begins at 4:30
pm. and DeMoss said food
services is anticipating 300 to
500 students to attend.

Students can expect the
competitors to be decked out
in chef gear. DeMoss said.

"They are going to be
dressed to kill." he said.
"This will be a lot of fun."

Lamb was chosen for the
national competition by the
master chef of the National
Association of College Uni-
versity Food Services. Uni-
versities have been partici-
pating in these competitions
for over a decade.

The racks of lamb in-
clude seven chops that will
have to be cut. cooked and
seasoned by the chefs.
DeMoss is one of two judges
who will evaluate the food
when it is finished.

"I'll be looking for ap-
pearance. quality. ambiance
and. of course. the taste." he
said. “You just don't throw a
piece of rosemary on top of
this lamb and that be your
entree."

Brett Morris. marketing
director for (lining services.
said the four competitors vole
unteered to take part in the
competition. which is a qual-
ifier for the National Associ»
ation of College University
Food Services southern re—
gional championship in
March. Three other food ser-
vice workers will participate
in the regional competition
with the winner of tomor-

row's contest.

Morris said the most im~
pressive part of the competi-
tion is that the tasks must be
completed within a restricted
time period.

“They‘ll have to take that
from scratch." he said.
"They‘ll have to know how to
