36 out of

fundsfor
campus
groups

By Katie Sa|_tz
ksa|t1@kykarnel. com

Student Government is out of money
set aside to fund campus groups after ap-
proving eight Senate special projects at
last night’s meeting.

Three of the projects accepted
amendments to lower the amount of the
requests. and the Senate approved
510.608 overall — several hundred more
than what the committee had available.

According to a summary by Appro-
priations and Revenue Chairman Kevin
Panott. there was $9. 995 available for
projects. bllt there is a 90 percent usage
rate of the allocated funds. which means
there might be some money returned to
the fund if it is not used. which would re-
sult in more money available for projects.

Amendments lowered the initial
funds requested by over $2.000. Parrott
said he thought the Senate did a good job
in appropriating the money last night.

I was worried it would be difficult."
Pmott said. People realized the situation
we are in and were accommodating

After last night‘s Senate approval of
the projects. there is no available money
to fund student organizations or special
projects. The A&R committee will meet
to discuss what to do with new funding
applications. Parrott said

We have a vision but logistically
there are concems. Ptu'rott said. I think
we will end up having money left. but
it‘s impossible to tell when."

Senate President Tyler Montell said
the situation was difficult because it is
relatively early in the year to be low on
funds for A&R.

"We had this problem so early be—
cause (SG) has been good with commu-
nication and good with visibility so
more organizations have come to us 'for
money.“ Montcll said.

Although it was difficult for senators
to lower the requested funding for their
campus projects. Montell said this could
be a good opportunity for future A&R
members to learn.

“It's frustrating for senators to have
to say no (to organizations).“ he said.
“But it's a good experience for senators
who will be back next year to know they
have to look closely at every dollar."

The meeting opened with an address
from Provost Kumble Subbaswamy.
Senators had a question—and-answer ses-
sion with the provost and discussed the
Top 20 Business Plan. state budget cuts
and retention initiatives. Subbaswamy
encouraged SG members to keep up
their efforts of campaigning state legisla-
tors to pass as much funding toward
higher education as possible.

“People tend to think that by tighten-
ing your belt everything‘s going to be al-
right." Subbaswamy said. “But as the cuts
increase it gets to be absolutely unman-
ageable. Any kind of campaign (students)
can have is going to be effective. It's
much more effective coming from voters
than it is from university presidents."

College students from across the state

Gov. Steve Beshear told Kentucky
college students who were rallying
with homemade signs and painted
faces in the Capitol yesterday that
there is not enough money for higher
education in the state budget.

“First. higher educa—
tion has to be one of the
top priorities for the future
of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky." Beshcar said.
“Second. the budget does
not contain enough money
for higher education."

Over 200 people
packed into the Capitol
building in Frankfort for
the annual Rally for High-
er Education.

This year's protests
focused on proposed bud—
get cuts for public univer—
sities.

Students and student
organizations from Ken-
tucky public universities.
including UK and the Uni—
versity of Louisville. came to express
opposition to the cuts in higher educa-
tion funding — which Beshcar warned

"I agree (with
students) that the
budget should
not be balanced
on us. There are
other things
that could be
cut instead of
education."

could be as high as 12 percent on top
of a 3 percent cut already enacted.

Signs that read “Don‘t Take My
KEES Money" and students chanting.
“education pays" greeted Secretary of
State Trey Grayson. who spoke to the
crowd about economic progress and
its tie to higher education.

Budget cuts would be a step back—
ward in economic
progress. Grayson said.

“I'm disturbed that
with the Commonwealth
again facing tough budv
getary times we might re-
vert to the traditional and
short—sighted approach to
balancing the budget —
slashing higher education."
Grayson said. "We‘ve
turned a comer. and we‘re
not turning back."

Beshear said he was
glad students were advo-
cating for their education.
but they must talk to legis-
lators about how they can
fund higher education in
Kentucky.

“We want you to
speak very loudly and clearly."
Beshcar said. “Everybody ought to
step up and say where this money

 

Black Panther founder to
speak on state of civil rights

By Dwight Lacy

news@kykernel.com

Black Panther Party co— founder Bob-
by Seale led a group of 30 fully armed
activists into the Califomia General As-
sembly in May 1967 in opposition of leg-
islation targeting the party that would
prohibit the carrying of firearms.

The same man who helped start the
controversial group dedicated to advancing
black people will be speaking tonight at 7
in the Student Center Grand Ballroom.
Seale will share his thoughts on the civil
rights movement and where American so-
ciety stands today. said Valeashia Smith.
director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Cul-

tural Center. which is hosting the event.

“Bobby Scale is an icon in the history
of the civil rights movement ' Smith said.
“It s important that students understand
who he is the importance of the Black
Panther Party and the impact they have
on society today."

Scale was one of the founders of the
Black Panther Party in October of 1966
and is one of its last surviving original
leaders.

After the assassination of black leader
Malcolm X and at the height of the civil
rights movement led by Martin Luther
King Jr.. Scale helped develop an armed
organization --— separating itself from
non- -violent efforts of the time — that
promoted social change and civil rights
for blacks. according to the party Web site
(www .blackpanther.org).

Scale who resigned as chairman of the
Black Panther Party in 1974. according to
his Web site (wwwbobbysealecom). has
served as the community liaison with the
Department of African and African- Ameri-
can Studies at Temple University and is the
author of three books including two mem-
oirs about his experiences as a Black Pan-
ther “Seize the Time" (1970) and “A
Lonely Rage" (I978)

The event. “An evening with Bobby
Scale.“ is free and open to the public.

“Come because you don‘t know." said
Valerie Clay. a recent UK graduate and
head of public relations at the MLK Cul—
tural Center. “It‘s a chance for the campus
to learn about the true workings of the
Black Panther Party. because there are
misconceptions of what they stood for."

Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO —— Police are con-
cluding that the fonner academic star
who shot and killed five students last
week at Northern Illinois University
took steps to thwart investigators try—
ing to figure out why he did it,

In addition to removing the hard
drive from his laptop computer.
Steven Kazmierclak also removed
the SIM card —— a key computer chip
— from his cell phone. a police
source said.

Police also said his former girl-
friend‘s account to CNN of Kazmier-
czak‘s final weeks differed from the
one she gave to investigators.

The result is that police still do
not have a theory as to why
Kazmierczak opened fire on the
crowded lecture hall.

“That's the one thing I want to
know more than anything is motive."
Northem Illinois University Police
Chief Donald Grady said Tuesday.
“We don‘t have anything to know or
even begin to assume a motive yet."

Among the other unanswered
questions are why Ka/mierczak tar-
geted that particular building and
class and why he carried out the
massacre on Valentine s Day. Grady
said. There were no clues in the note
or package he sent his former girl-
friend shortly before the attack. he
said.

“He didn't tell people what he
was going to do." he said. “And he
took steps to thwart any investiga»
tion

Investigators have obtained sev-
eral search warrants. Grady said. in-
cluding one to search Kazmierczak‘s
Honda. The vehicle was listed in a
2006 traffic ticket as a white 2001
model.

Grady said police still had hun»
dreds of people to interview and to-
ward the top of the list was Kazmier-
czak‘s former girlfriend. Jessica
Baty. who in the CNN interview con-
tradicted earlier statements to police
that her former boyfriend had acted
erratically after going off his medica-
tion.

“I suppose you could call that be—

Student Govemment President
Nick Phelps helped plan the rally with
the Board of Student Body Presidents.
Beshear and Gray son both delivered
strong messages to students at the ral-
ly. Phelps said.

Police are working to obtain
Kazmierc/ak‘s full medical records

they do not know yet if he went
off his medication on his own or was
ordered to do so by a physician
but the priority was to interview peo-
ple while their memories were still
fresh. Grady said.

Grady expected that the investi»
gation will keep going strong for at
least three more weeks and he said
police will issue a report when it is
finished At this point he said. the
university is not worried about costs

“We want to know what it is we
can do. if anything. to prevent this
kind of thing from ever happening
again." he said.

Grady met Tuesday with parents
of the deceased students and ushered
them around campus to view various
memonals erected in their children's
honor.

He said police also have heard
reports that a woman. carrying no
books. was at the hack of the audito—
rium when the shooting started and
began crying and ran out.

Chick-fil-A

This oil-campus favorite offers a surprisingly
large number of lower—calorie options. The salads
are one healthy option. with the ('har~grilled
(‘hieken Garden Salad containing only 180 calo»
ries and six grams of fat. and the Southwest
Char-grilled Chicken Salad containing 340 calo~

Sandwich has 270 calories and 3.5 grams of fat.

A good way to avoid racking up calories at

a healthier side. (‘hick—fil-A offers a fruit cup for
only ()0 calories with no fat and a chicken soup
with only I40 calories and 3.5 grams of lat per

Arby’s

Ar‘by's can be a tough place to find good
food. with most of its options soaring up into the
350— to SlXLcalorie range per item. like the other
two chains mentioned above. one of the healthiest
options is a salad. The Martha‘s Vineyard Salad
contains 370 calories and eight grams of fat. ac-
cording to Arby"s Web site lw w warby scorn l. The

next best option is the Jr. Roast Beef sandwich.
which contains 273 calories and Ill grams of fat.
If you absolutely must indulge in an order of
Arby's curly fries. keep in mind that e\ en the
small serving has 333 calories and 20 grams of
fat.

Jimmy John's

Jimmy John‘s ollers one thing that many oth—
er restaurants don't: a fully customi/able menu.
You can pick and choose what you want on your
sandwich. which can ultimately save you hun-
dreds of calories. For example. stay away from
their mayonnaise at all costs. it adds at least a
hundred calories. if not more. to your sandwich.
and often isn‘t worth the cum fat. either. They
offer Dijon mustard as a tasty allernatiye. Try
making your sandwich an “l'nw icli." loo. to saye

French bread sub with a lettuce wrap. The Turkey
Tom sub as an "inich" with rnustard instead of
mayonnaise is only llll calories w ilh approyr
