Senate's

After passionate discussion yesterday
afternoon, the Kentucky Senate approved
a budget that would reduce. but not elimi-
nate. an across-the-board 12 percent bud-
get cut proposed by Gov. Steve Beshear.

In a 32-2 vote yesterday. the Senate
approved a $19 billion budget for the next
two years. Under the plan produced by the
Senate. UK would face a total budget cut
of 6 percent. which includes a 3 percent
cut already in effect for this fiscal year.

Unlike the House budget passed two
weeks ago. the Senate‘s budget does not
include an increase in taxes on cigarettes
or gas. The
House’s call for a
25-cent increase
on cigarettes and
1.5-cent increase
per gallon of gas
harms the state‘s
citizens. said Sen.

and callous

With no tax increases, the Senate bud—

Kentucky‘s lottery system. In the first year.
Kentucky would take $54.0 million and
$55.6 million during the second year of
the two-year budget cycle.

Borders said one way the lottery could
reduce its expenses would be to cut adver-
tising spending. But Sen. Ernesto Scor—
sone. D-Lexington. called increasing the
state‘s piece of lottery funds “smoke and
mirrors" because if the lottery cuts adver-
tising. it would see a decrease in profits.

Scorsone. who voted against the Sen-
ate budget. also criticized the Senatc‘s cuts
in fields like education and health care as
an altemative to increasing taxes.

“This is a cruel and callous budget."
Scorsone said during debate on the Senate

Earlier in the year. there was
talk of other possible presidential

throughout the year potential candi-

BCTC student burglarized,

A Greg Page resident was burglarized
and kidnapped Monday. and although the
resident retumed home safely. be or she
lost a Dell computer and an undetermined
amount of cash. according to UK police.

Two men entered the apartment some—
time between 2 and 3 pm: one was
armed with a knife. and the other was
armed with a miniature baseball bat and
implied he had a gun. police said. After
taking cash and a Dell laptop. the two
men forced the resident. at Bluegrass
Community and Technical College stu-
dent. to drive to the bank and obtain more
cash. according to police. The student was
not identified last night.

The student drove the two men back
to campus and dropped them off near
W.T. Young Library. as they directed. In-
terim UK Police Chief .loe Monroe said
he did not know last night whether the
two men were students at either UK or
BCTC. but his officers are working at the
case with two detectives who were called
in to investigate.

One suspect is described as a (Hoot-4-

of the star‘s escalating use of
drugs -— which included co—

even crack cocaine. according to
a source.

The abuse has led to a se-

ries of bizarre outbursts. Most
recently, Steve-O. 33 (real
name: Stephen Glover). was
evicted from his apartment

clashing with a neighbor on

Functional fillers for Fall Semester holes

Elie. load
newaOkykemelcom

Beginning this week, students across
UK‘s campus will register for fall semester
classes. For students who need to fulfill
University Studies Program requirements,
several options are available in categories
such as social sciences, written communica-
tion. natural sciences and general electives.

Although some students may be tempted
to fill empty spaces in their schedule with
“fun" classes, the following are a few fall
courses that fulfill university requirements
and also have practical benefits.

PS 101: American Government. This
social science class provides a comprehen-
sive overview of the American political sys-
tem and the nuts and bolts of key govem-
according ‘to the
course description on UK’s Web site.

Students in this course also learn about

the election process, a timely lesson in fall

2008, when Americans will elect the next
president.‘

ENG 203: Business Writing. This class
fulfills the graduation writing requirement
without a great deal of'literary analysis. In
ENG 203, students focus on professional
correspondence and reports rather than the
traditional essay. It is geared toward writing
skills that would be used in business indus—
try and government careers according to the
course syllabus

FAM 251: Personal and Family Fi-
nance. This course. which would count to—
ward elective credit, teaches students the ba-
sics of lifetime money management. span-
ning from student loans to retirement plan-
ning. Topics covered include how to calcu-
late tax payments mortgage a home and
manage credit according to the course syl—
labus.

Instructor- Martie Gillen said the lessons

about money management would be espe-
cially helpful to students once they are offi-
cially on their own. One of the course's as-
signments requires students to track their in—
come and expenses for one month and then
create a budget for the following month
based on what they spend and earn.
“Students learn pretty quickly that 3 dol-
lars at Starbucks a couple times a week adds

up,“ Gillen said.

GLY 120: Sustainable Planet: The Ge-
ology of Natural Resources. This course,
which fulfills natural science requirements.
might be the preferred choice for students
who do not consider themselves very sci-
ence-minded. While students learn about
geological processes, they also examine use
and abuse of natural resources and the polit-
ical importance of resource management,
according to the course syllabus.

proving to students that senators take their jobs

Creating a successful and balanced budget Is
also a priority, Montell said. Adjusting the

more money to fund student organizations.

“Our top three funding priorities would be the

Trash pickers mobilize to become

“We’re the only ones doing
this work," said Cristian Robles, a
trash picker who scours the Ar—
gentine capital of Buenos Aires
for recyclables. “If we didn‘t do
it,‘ nobody else would.”

. As in Buenos Aires, govem-
ment-run recycling programs
are rare in most of the develop-
ing world, meaning valuable

few governments recycle their trash.

.materials that could be reused

end up rotting at local dumps if
trash pickers don‘t get to them.
At an estimated 15 ‘million

people worldwide, trash pickers

make up about 1 percent of the
global urban population, and their
impact is enorrnous,'said Martin
Medina. a U.S.-based waste man-

agement cxpen who wrote “The
World‘s Scavengers." a book
about the population.

Brazil, for example. claims
the world’s'highest aluminum
recycling rate. at nearly 90 per-
cent — not because of official
initiatives. but thanks to the
country's estimated 500,000

and instead helped them profes»
sionalizc their operations.
That‘s already happened in
some countries. such as Bra/ii.
where the federal government
officially recogni/cdtrash pick-
ing as a legal profession fiyc

' years ago and provided some la-

bor protections. Most other
countries. howc\ cr. still prohibit
the activity.
