UK Joins an increasing number of schools
allowing students to pay tuition in installments

This news was a weleome
relief to agriculture communica-

said he looked forward to not hav

“That [will take] a lot of stress
out of the beginning of the semes-

having to worry about money as

sueh as the l'niversity of Mary
land (iary Maynard. manager of
operations for the Ilursar's ()tfiee
at the l'n‘iversity of Maryland. said
one of the reasons the university
chose to offer an installment plan
was because it was losing a lot of
business. He referred to the other
schools that already offer install
ment plans. like the [’niversity of
Pennsylvania. Indiana l'niversity
and Iowa State l'niversity.

“It gives its a competitive edge
over schools that don't offer this."
Maynard said.

Council applies brakes to Vine Street plan

Plans to alter the course of '\'iiie Street are nn hold for
the iiinitient The I'K (‘nllege nt ;\i‘t‘lilll*t‘Illl‘t* Downtown
Design (‘enter introduced a plan in the spring tn redesign
the curve at Vint- and Main streets. The plan would allow
the civic center to convert the street for public space and
npeii up more space for shops. Kevin Patterson. a re-
search fellow at the Architecture Downtown Design Cen-
ter, assisted with the design. Patterson said those at the
civic center wanted to use this space for pedestrians and
allow Triangle Park to be used in a different way. The
iil‘xlllgilill-I“Ei§'t‘iIF Urban (‘ounty Council originally
passed the plan. and the city had a public forum meeting
iii early July to discuss the future of Vine Street. Many lo-
cal residents were tint pleased with the plan because of
possible traffic increases. I'Iowever business owners were
very supportive nfthe closure. Research. including a mar
ket study. is underway to consider options for the street.

Ragland's attorneys want ewdence barred
Attorneys for Shane Raglaiid claim evidence for his

Di(}iurn was acquired through false pretenses. Ragland's
attorneys said they do not want a ritle entered iiitn evi
dence that prosecutors claim was used tn kill the former
L'K football with. Defense attorneys claim that the evi-

dence was acquired through false pretenses. The authori-
ties deny the accusations. In July 2000, Ragland was ar-
rested and charged with the shooting death of DiGiuro.
Ragland pleaded not guilty and is currently out on a $1
million cash bond. Ragland‘s trial is scheduled to begin in
January 2002.

Fund-raising campaign reaches $408 million

UK has raised 67 percent of the funds needed to reach
its $600 million capital campaign goal by June 2003. The
fund-raising efforts began in 1998 to enhance faculty. stu-
dents, facilities. academic programs and public service at
the University. Since the campaign's inception, UK has
received more than 172.000 gifts. 313 of those in excess of
$100,000. The total for fiscal year 2001. including cash.
pledges and Research Challenge Trust Fund matching dol-
lars. was $118.8 million. Fifty~two endowed chair positions
at UK and 112 endowed professorships have been created
since the fund's inception.

UK and Louisville open Washington D.C. office

17K and the University of Louisville, along with Gov.
Paul Patton. announced the opening of an office in the na-
tion's capital to further the state's federal agenda. The two
schools. know more for their rivalries than their cama»
raderie. pledged to partner with the state to solicit the fed-
eral government for research and education dollars. Oper-
ating expenses for the office are $700,000. Each school will
contribute $50,000. The office will be headed by Audrey
Haynes. a Kentucky native who has worked in the Clinton
administration in DC. and for the Patton administration
in Frankfort.

Retired UK officials opt for interim positions

'I‘wo UK administrators have left retirement to fulfill
interim positions within the University.

Ed Sagan. former dean of the College of Education. of-
ficially took the office on July 1. Sagan was dean of the
school from 1982 to 1990. A search committee expects a
new dean to be named by the end of the fall semester.

E. Sands. has been serving as acting director of the UK
Art Museum since July 1. The former chemistry depart
ment chair will serve until a permanent replacement can
be found for former director Harriett Fowler-Mobley. who
retired June 30.

Animal Science department chair named

Robert J. Harmon, a 22-year veteran in the College of
Agriculture. began his duties as chairman of the animal
sciences department July 1. Harmon had served as the in-
terim chairman of the department since November. The

program.

“The NCAA can say one
thing. but if you take it to a
court of law, it won‘t hold
up." Ivy said.

Todd said one of the pur-
poses behind partial buyout
packages like the one with
Mumme is to guard against
the potential of either party to
renege after the fact.

“So you do put those
clauses that say he can‘t come
after us and we can‘t come af-
ter him."

Todd said expediency and
closure are two desirable is-
sues the buyout process pro-
vides.

While Todd did not say
outright whether he felt UK
now deserved to keep the
money it agreed to pay
Mumme before the NCAA
charges, he said in legal sce-
narios like this the severance
agreement will protect a par
ty even if wrongdoing is dis-
covered.

“Fairness goes by the
wayside when you settle
agreements," he said. “and
that's the way it ends up."

Ivy stood by the terms of
the original buyout.

“I think it was a good set-
tlement for the University."
he said.

Todd. who took office on
July 1 months after terms of
the settlement were arranged.
said while the buyout locked
UK into the $1 million agree—

ment, it also locked in
Mumme.

Todd said the severance
agreement protected UK from
having to pay the full amount
owed during the remainder of
Mumme's contract in the
event he was found totally in-
nocent.

By that respect, Todd said
it is a lose-lose relationship
for UK and Mumme.

“It‘s a situation I wish
never happened with either
party," said Todd, who has
never met Mumme. “He may
not feel good about giving up
the $2.5 million either.“

Todd said UK logically
was disappointed that it must
pay a coach who doesn't
coach anymore. but that the
situation was unavoidable.

"I think anybody would
respond the same way." Todd
said. “You‘d rather you
weren't doing that, but there
are just legal situations that
take place where things like
that happen."

Ivy said UK was fully
aware of the information that
was the foundation of the
NCAA‘s accusations against
Mumme.

“There are no allegations
that they gave that we didn't
have in'our report (to the
NCAA)" Ivy said.

Todd said not focusing on
the matter and allowing it to
be resolved are his primary
concerns.

“The important thing for
this university to do is to
clear the way so we can get on
with our football program
and get some things behind
us.

Bills, bills, bills: A new semester brings same old money problems,
but a family studies professor students says can avoid fiscal downfall

By Kathy Wyatt
surr wmirn “

 

Searching couch cushions
for loose change may buy you a
taco supreme. but it won‘t keep
the lights burning or the phone
ringing.

For students who live off
campus. the harsh reality of
bills sank in a while ago. The
cable bill arrives at the begin-
ning of the month. the water
and electric bills follow. and the
telephone bill usually comes
just in time to coincide with the
rent payment.

Taking all of these expens
es into account, Celia Hayhoe. a
professor in family studies.
notes it‘s not surprising college
students have such a difficult
time saving money. Whether or
not a student saves their mon-
ey, budgeting and setting some
aside for a rainy day is impon
tant. she said.

“Spending more than you
bring in makes it hard to save
and may also lead to credit card
debt," Hayhoe said.

Another reason students
find themselves pressed for
cash is that they want to do
everything. even when they are
unable to afford it. A common
problem among students is
their failure to save extra mon-
ey for occasional expenses.

Students each have their
own way of saving money.
Rachel Barber. a marketing and
French senior. saves her money
by keeping it in a savings ac»
count and only switching funds
over to her checking account
when necessary. This system
helps her monitor where the
money is going. she said.

“I have to think about buy-
ing something big, i can't just
do it spontaneously." Barber
said.

Kelley Webster, an account-
ing junior. holds onto her mon-
ey by following a simple philos-
ophy. “I don't really have a
budget plan, the only strategy I
use is to never spend more than
I make," she said.

Hayhoe suggested Webster
use a calendar to record what
she plans on spending. By con-
sidering occasional expenses
and adding them to what you
normally spend a year. you can
break down your budget into
individual months.

"if you put that much mon-
ey away each month. it will be
available when you need 't and
you can still pay your ills."
she said.

For students with credit
card debts or bills, Hayhoe
warns that plastic can serve as
either a friend or foe ~ depend-
ing on how students choose to
use them.

"()wning one credit card
and not putting more on it than
you can pay each month is a
good way to establish credit.“
she said.

Credit cards can make it
easy to spend too much and cre-
ate debt. Hayhoe said the solu-

tion is to keep a close record of

your credit card use.

“Keep a register of your
charge purchases so you‘re
sure you can pay the bill in full
when it comes." she said.

Hayhoe warns about taking
your time paying off the card
bill because finance charges
end up doubling the money the
cardholder actually spent.

Credit cards are not the
only piece of plastic available.
Some students turn to debit
cards as a safer alternative.
Barber likes having a debit
card. since she can't spend
money she doesn't have. Debit
cards take money out of your

checking account and don't add
up.

Hayhoe said if a student
gets into the habit now of mak-
ing wise money decisions. it
can only benefit them in the tug
ture.

“If students can learn to
live on less than they bring in
while in school. they will be. in
a good position to keep up a
savings program when they
graduate. The earlier you start
saving. the easier your life will
be later on,” she said.
