How to invest
for the future

No one is certain: Investing in an IRA will
ensure security if for retirement

By Megan Engle
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With the long campaign
season drawn to a close. you
may be left wondering just
what the candidates were talk-
ing about when they discussed
issues while on the campaign
trail.

The future of Social Securi-
ty. one of the hottest issues in
the campaign, has prompted
many to consider alternatives
to securing their ﬁnancial fu-
ture. One option that exists is
to invest in an individual re-
tirement account, or IRA.

An IRA is an account that
is paid into on an annual basis.
An individual who has invest-
ed in an IRA throughout his or
her adulthood will have devel-
oped an account balance with a
substantial sum of money that
can be withdrawn at retire-
ment. This sum of money pro-
vides funds on which to live
during retirement.

Students concerned about
ﬁnancial stability in the long-
term future can start investing
in an IRA now. The earlier the
student begins investing in an
IRA. the more money they will
accumulate (due to compound-
ing interest). allowing you to be
ﬁnancially secure at the point
of retirement.

“A lot of students don‘t
worry about IRAs until :30 or
so." said Mark Berger. director
of UK‘s Center of Business and
Economics Research. “()nes
who do are probably more for—
ward looking. while others like
the beneﬁts of money use now."

Berger described the value
of [RA investment. "The impor-
tance of IRAs lie heavily on
how you value the future. Some
students may not need to worry
about the future or may not re-
quire as much money after re

tirement,“ he said.

Lauvatia Moses. a member
service director at UK Federal
Credit Union said investing for
the future will give an individ»
ual a sense of safety.

“No one is certain what the
future holds for the world or
for themselves,“ Moses said.

Many worry that they will
not have retirement funds
available when they retire.

"Chances are there will be
no Social Security in the fu
ture." Moses said. “They are
raising the age of retirement
now. Since people are living
longer, people are working
longer. This makes IRAs even
more important for college stu-
dents to invest in now."

Two types of IRAs are
available.

First is the traditional IRA.
The yearly fee is based upon an-
nual income: if your income
falls under $50,000. you invest
$2,000 a year. The big beneﬁt
with this type of [RA is that you
receive a tax deduction up
front, at the time of investment.

The alternative to the tra-
ditional IRA is called the Roth
IRA. As with the traditional
IRA. the amount you can invest
is also based upon annual in»
come. The difference within
the Roth IRA is that when you
close your account and receive
your funds. you will pay no tax-
es on the amount grossed with
interest.

Maureen Diner, 21 ﬁrst-
year graduate student in athletic
training. said she thinks it is im—
portant to invest for the future.

"I think everyone should
deﬁnitely invest in an IRA."
Dwyer said. “I have one to
make sure that my future is ﬁ-
nancially secure. I think every-
one should worry about the
economic future of the nation
and their own."

A whole new world: UK graduate receives
prestigious award, pursues studies in London

By Rebecca Osborne
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students who were born.
raised and educated in the Unit»

about what it must be like to be
an international student.

We certainly don‘t spend
much time considering the
headache of ﬁnding an alartn
clock that will run on the proper
current or setting up a new bank
account in a country we've nev-
er been to before.

But since arriving in Eng-
land about a month ago, these
are some of the things UK alum-
na Monica Grant has been con-
tending with.

Having only been in Loti-
don since Sept. 27. Grant. L'K's
Marshall scholar. has just be-
gun to submerge herself iii her

By Amanda York

EDITOR IN CMIEF

When Shahrazad Qaisi
transferred to UK from Eliza-
bethtown Community College
she already knew about the
Muslim Student Association.

Her older siblings attended
UK anti were members.

But she knows that a lot of
Muslim students don't know
about it.

That‘s one of the reasons
the MSA is hosting lslamic
Awareness Week. beginning to»
day in the Student Center.
Qaisi. a speech therapy junior.
said Islamic Awareness Week is
a national week meant to intro-
duce Islam to people. This is the

May with a degree in anthropol-
ogy. She is the first person from
the University to receive 21 Mar-
shall Scholarship. a high honor.
on par with the well-known
Rhodes Scholarship. She re-
ceived the award last December.

It will enable her to spend
two years in Great Britain pur-
suing mstgraduate studies.

Grant is currently attending
the London School of Economics
where she is working toward a
master's degree in anthropology
and development.

As a Marshall scholar.
Grant has taken part iii some
rare opportunities. Before leav-
ing for London. the Marshall
Commission British Council
held orientation sessions in
Washington. DC. where the
scholars were able to meet sena.
tors who were either Marshall
or Rhodes scholars themselves.

The scholars also toured the

Capitol building. seeing some ar-
eas that are off-limits to regular
tours.

Similarly. once in England.
Grant was able to tour the Hous~
es of Parliament and meet with a
member of Parliament.

“More than anything else."
Grant said, "I have been struck
by the pervasive depth of history
in this city."

She mentioned that even oti
her walk to school. she passes
buildings that bear markers to
indicate important or famous
people who once lived there.

According to Grant. the aca‘
demic year in England is quite
different from that in the l'nited
States. Grant described the edu‘
cational system at LSE as "a
combination of individual atten-
tion and independent learning."
wherein each class meets only
once a week for lecture.

This is accompanied by a
seminar-type class, broken down
into 113 to 15 students. facilitating
discussion of class reading.

She said that students at
1.85) are responsible for quite a

bit of outside work. and their
grades are not determined until
the examinations in June.

It is their responsibility to
keep the knowledge they learned
in their courses fresh in their
minds until that time. even
though some “half courses" will
stop mceting iii December.

lti fact. Grant is taking two
such half courses. along with
two other core courses for her
program.

"Just imagine.” she said. “for
two of my classes. instruction
ends at the beginning of Decent
her. but I don't do anything to re-
ceive a grade for those courses
until June."

No stranger to academic ex-
cellence. Grant has delighted
those who have known her with
her most recent success as a
Marshall scholar.

Kate Johnson, advising coor~
dinator for the Honors Program.
said that Grant was an excep-
tional student at the l'niversity

“l was thrilled to see her get
it...she had worked hard." she
said.

Islamic awareness to UK

first time the MSA has hosted
the event at l'K.

The MSA will have a booth
set tip in front of the Food Court
in the Student Center where
they will answer questions.
pass out pamphlets and offer
Middle Eastern sweets to
students.

“Islam is one of the fastest
growing religions in the world
and it is important for UK Mus-
lim students to talk to other stu-
dents about lslattt and the im»
portance of it." Qaisi said.

One of the main topics
Qaisi said members of the MSA
will discuss is Ramadan. the
fasting month. which begins
right after Thanksgiving.

“it is important that people

know about Ramadan because
it is one of the ﬁve pillars of Is-
lam. and it is a very important
holiday for Muslims." she said.

Qaisi said students should
feel free to ask members of the
MSA any questions.

"if we are not going to
guide them then who else is
there to guide them?" she said.

Right now. Qaisi said the
MSA has about 20 members.
but they are hoping to attract
tnore Qaisi said she thinks
many Muslim students are
afraid to join the organization
because the of the way they are
portrayed by the media.

"They shouldn‘t be afraid
because that is their identity."
she said. Qaisi. who is a l’ales‘

tinian. has lived iti Elizabeth-
tow'n all her life btit said that
she visits the Middle liast every
summer.

to say that I am a Palestinian.
Arab and Muslim. and I am
very proud of it.” (Qaisi said “it
is who i am."

Greg Todd went to South lltil Station on the morning of()ct.
‘37 to open the doors for business at \' its one last time. The doors
were not to open. though. Todd. the t labs ownet . discovered they
were locked and. for reasons yet to be disclosed. Yats final day had
already come to pass.

With a mixture of frustration and resignation he called the
members ofthe group that had ft rt‘nted around the restaurant's exr
istence during the past live years. to tv-ll them it was over. There
would be no final meals served ll Yats Those had .ilrv-ady been
eaten. The big Halloween Blowout ltl.t!Illr‘tl ‘oi‘ that t'\i‘lllllf_’. would
not happen either.

"They even had an ad in thy- llttaltl. ' sxud Ben Allen. a meat»
ber of’l‘he New Machine. one ot the hands slated to play. "l'm dis-
appointed. I had my costume ligated out and t‘\'l't‘\lllllli "

and is working toward thr-estahlishtnetit of 'i new \enue. he said.

Beyond taking care oi‘tht- remnants ofthis business. Compton
is anxious to see that it keeps ._.. on;

"()ne of the» things that is hopeful ibout tl is is that I ran into
some kids on the street the other day and they told me they were
looking at empty store fronts. storage spaces and renting existing
venues to hate places for shows." he said "lt‘s hopeful because
there are others ct incl-rited."

Yats is hoping to reopen early or \1 year Compton said they
hope to find a place near canipus l‘t’t‘.ill\t' they intend to ktep the

"i talked to Greg and i said. ‘you don‘t have to do that.‘ but he
feels pretty strongly about it."
