KENTUCKY KERNE

 

Ky. reps,

senators

negotiate
budget

3! Jill taster
ilaster@kykernel.com

Members of the Kentucky Sen-
ate and the House of Representa-
tives met multiple times over the
weekend to negotiate a budget that
will likely result in higher taxes or
higher tuition — or both.

The House and Senate have
been in a conference committee
since Wednesday trying to find mid-
dle ground between the drastically
different $19 billion budgets pro-
posed by each body.

T\vo weeks ago. the House ap-
proved increasing taxes on gas and
cigarettes to balance an estimated
$900 million state revenue shortfall
over the next two years. Last week.
the Senate approved a budget that
raises neither tax. Instead. the Senate
budget takes about $110 million more
from the state's lottery system and
calls for budget cuts in state services.

Both parties approved cuts to
higher education in their budgets, al-
though none as high as the reduction
proposed by Gov. Steve Beshear in
December. Beshear put into place a 3
percent cut for this fiscal year. and
recommended a 12 percent reduction
on top of that for the next two years.

The House approved maintain-
ing the 3 percent cut. while the Sen-
ate approved a total higher educa-
tion cut of 6 percent.

Among the issues discussed by
the committee are tax increases and
the lottery. as well as potentially
freeing some non—violent offenders

engaged not only in the election. but also in the country‘s future.

“It's so important we get young people involved."

she said.

Manual students made signs that hung throughout the gym
and read “We found our new star" and “Students for Hillary."

Many view Clinton‘s opponent. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
as the young person‘s candidate. But younger voters. including

Organization provides voting info to students

By Katie Salt:
ksaltz®kykernelcom

Uninformed voters have a chance
to be educated today. Project Vote
Smart will be on campus today to pro-
vide infonnation about politicians and
candidates.

Project Vote Smart is a non~parti-
san political research organization that
formed in the early 1990s. The idea
came from a group of people who felt
voters were not getting the whole truth
from politicians. said Mike Wessler.
media director for Vote Smart.

“Some people didn‘t like the way

politics were going in the country."
Wessler said. “They felt voters were
being manipulated."

The organization Will be at the Flag
Plaza. across from Memorial Coliseum
on the Avenue of Champions. from 10
am. to 3 pm. today. Presentations start
on the hour and half hour.

For the past 16 years. Vote Smart
has been working on a “Voter‘s Self—
Defensc System." The program offers
access to information about candidates
such as biographical information. vot-
ing records and campaign finances.
Wessler said voters need access to
those materials to make informed deci-

 

Crowd shares memories of Rosenberg Block, searches

By M131 Bowmg
newsmrykemelcom

Hundreds of people had already
filled the seats of the Kentucky Theater
on Saturday. but more kept piling in to
the sound of bluegrass music from a
banjo played center stage to protest the
demolition of the Rosenberg Block
downtown to make way for a new hotel
development.

The organizers of “Wake Up Lex-
ington: An Event to Save Our Block.“
said the cost of producing CcntrePointe
involved more than money and could
damage Lexington‘s downtown person-
ality.

Architects. city council members
and developers from other projects in
Lexington and Louisville made presen-
tations on historic preservation. They
discussed ways to bring in new devel-
opments without tearing down existing
buildings and how to apply those strate-
gies to the block bounded by Main.
Vine. South Limestone and South Up-
per streets.

Vice Mayor Jim Gray said the pm-
ject is “not a done deal." Through peti~
tions. c-mails and letters. the issues are
getting attention. he said.

The Dame. Buster‘s and Mia‘s are
all popular venues that students and
other Lexington residents could lose

if the development plans proceed for
the skyscraper hotel.

When about 10 minutes of film
clips were presented to the audience
from the documentary “1 Heart Down—
town: Stories from the Block." the ten-
sion among audience members dis-
solved into laughter. The film is follow—
ing the process of the development. and
Travis Jones. the editor for the docu-
mentary. said he had been working
since Wednesday to make the presenta-
tion a tribute to the community. some-
thing personal for the audience to relate
to and enjoy.

Jones said the panel of profession-
als and experts were there to discuss

sions at the polls.

“It‘s a dangerous thing when when
are uninformed.” Wessler said. ”Votc
Smart focuses on giving out unbiascd
facts and information."

The stop at UK is part of the kick»
off for the recently completed Voter's
Self—Defense System. Vote Smart is
hoping to reach college students be
cause of the important part the) plat} in
political activism. Wessler said.

“College students are somcvihai

across the nation.” he said. “A lot of
college students have nexcr votcd hc-

the seriousness and the issues surround-
ing the redevelopment of downtown.
and the film made it personal.

Laughter is “universal and can be
translated." Jones said. He used that
approach when choosing clips. a way
to get everyone in the theater engaged
and interested in the history of [mung-
ton.

The segment was really for and
about the people. he said. a way for
them to share their stories with all of
Lexington before they lose the chance.
Sharing the city‘s history is the way to
help preserve it. Jones said.

CLINTON

Continued from page I

 

UK students, lined the front row
of the crowd on the floor and sat
behind Clinton on stage waiting
to hear her views on ending the
war in lraq, lowering the coun-
try‘s debt and providing univer—
sal health care.

The New York senator‘s
promise to “make college af-
fordable again” drew a big ap-
plause from the crowd.

She promised to provide
more need-based aid, increase
Pell Grants and forgive student
loans for people who enter pub-
lic service jobs such as teaching
or public health positions.

Clinton also touted plans to
let students borrow money from
the federal government at low
interest rates like she did when
she was in college.

When she asked people in
the crowd to raise their hands if
they paid more than 20 percent
interest on their student loans,

one man yelled that he paid 24
percent.

A UK student at the front of
the crowd said Clinton picked
up on his response as well.

“She heard me yell 18 per-
cent and repeated it to the
crowd. UK representing!“ said
Anthony Tanner, a vocal music
perfomiance junior. “1 just hope
it hits home to all students that
her loan forgiveness and financ-
ing programs are the best.“

Former President Bill Clin-
ton, who won Kentucky in his
1992 and ‘96 presidential victo-
ries, was in the state campaign-
ing for his wife Tuesday. The
couple‘s campaign stops are out
of the ordinary for Kentucky,
whose late primary date typical-
ly attracts little attention from
potential party nominees.

Obama leads Clinton in
pledged party delegate votes,
which will determine who goes
on to face Sen. John McCain in
the presidential election. But
Clinton said she is not done yet.

“I do not discourage easily,
in case you haven‘t noticed,“

she said.

Clinton talked for about 40
minutes without notes and took
jabs at President George W.
Bush's administration. calling it
a “government of the few, by
the few and for the few."

“If you give me the honor of
being your president, we will
put America back on the right
track," she said.

Clinton never mentioned her
opponent‘s name during the
speech but did allude to her carn—
paign’s previous claims that Oba-
ma's message lacks substance.

“This election isn’t about the
speeches we give, it‘s about the
solutions we offer," Clinton
said.

Her health care plan would
allow those not covered or un-
happy with their plans to opt
into one of the plans offered to
members of Congress while
keeping everyone‘s premium
rates low and based on house-
hold incomes, she said.

She promised to get rid of
tax breaks for companies that
export jobs out of the country

and to provide benefits for those
that keep jobs in America.

Clinton also focused on en~
ergy policy, calling for more
“green-collar jobs." such as
weatherizing homes, retrofitting
buildings, installing solar panels
and working on alternative fuel
solutions such as clean coal and
biofuels.

The federal government also
needs to take back control of
building and maintaining its in-
frastructure, Clinton said, in-
stead of outsourcing the jobs to
private companies.

“We've got to ask ourselves,
‘What do we need to do to make
sure our security is in American
hands,’ ” she said.

UK student Jess Kropczyns-
ki, who attended the Obama ral-
ly at the Lexington Center in
August, said Clinton has Obama
beat in terms of her specific pol-
icy proposals.

“Obama was just full of
empty phrases," said Kropczyn-
ski, a doctoral sociology stu-
dent. “Hillary actually came out
here and had a plan."

 

BUDGET

Continued from page 1

 

from jail to save state money, and restructur-
ing Kentucky’s debt.

This year‘s legislative session is slated
to end April 15. In that time, the conference
committee must agree to a budget to send to
the governor. The govemor must then ap—
prove it, and both the House and the Senate
must separately approve the final budget.

In even—numbered years, sessions may
not be more than 60 legislative days nor ex—
tend beyond April 15, according to Ken-
tucky law. Thursday will be the 60th day of
the session.

If this year‘s legislative session does not
come to an agreement by then, the Iegisla~
ture may go into special session, which must
be called by the governor.

UK’s tuition numbers will be deter-
mined in April. The university looks at state
revenue before deciding how much to raise

tuition and fees for students, but tuition fig-
ures should be figured out in April even if
there is a special session, said UK
spokesman Jay Blanton.

President Lee Todd has said on multiple
occasions in the last few months that with-
out an increase of $20 million each year, the
university cannot guarantee tuition increases
of less than 10 percent for next year.

It‘s too early to tell whether there will be
a double-digit hike at UK with the budget
not very far along, Blanton said.

from Oakland, Calif, in the mid 19605.
in the midst of the Vietnam War and
less than two years after the assassina—
tion of civil rights leader Malcolm X.

Scale was one of the original lead-
ers of the party, which aimed to combat
police brutality, establish leadership in
black communities and reverse the vi-
cious cycles of poverty and oppression

“I researched the Black Panthers
‘ said Geoffrey Grig-
an agricultural communications
sophomore who plans to attend the

lems now."

The organization‘s 10 demands in-
cluded “decent housing, fit for the shel-
ter of human beings," “decent education
for our people." “free health care for all
black and oppressed people." and “an
immediate end to all wars of aggres-
sion," according to www.blackpan-
ther.0rg.

The Black Panthers protested when
those goals were in danger, as they did
in 1967 in the California General As-
sembly and again in 1968 with Vietnam
War protesters at the Chicago Democra—
tic National Convention. Scale was ar—
rested during that protest and became
one of the “Chicago Eight,“ who were
put on trial for conspiracy to incite a
riot. and in 1970 Scale was tried for the
murder of a fellow Black Panther. All of
the charges in both cases were eventual-
ly dropped.

But the organization also worked
within the community and implemented
a free breakfast program at an Oakland

church. according to
www.bobbyseale.com.
Tonight's event was originally

scheduled for Feb. 21 but was post-
poned because of inclement weather.

 

 

They're the Is: All four top seeds make Final Four

81 Blair Kerkhoff
McClatchy Newspapers

It's simple math. One plus one plus one
plus one equals the Final Four.

For the first time since the NCAA Tour-
nament seeding process started in 1979. all
four top seeds will play on the final weekend.

With Kansas‘ 59—57 victory over David-
son in the Midwest Regional final and
Memphis‘ 85-67 hammering of Texas in the
South Regional final Sunday. the field is set.
They’ll join UCLA and North Carolina in
San Antonio in Saturday’s semifinals.

“The committee was good, I‘ve got to
give it to them," Memphis coach John Cali—
pari said. “They didn't make many mistakes.
if they made any."

On semifinal Saturday, UCLA will meet
Memphis at 5:07 p.m., followed by Kansas
against North Carolina.

In Kansas, Tar Heels coach Roy
Williams is facing the program where he

WWWJJKYJDUICAMPUSCALENDAB

started his head-coaching career and took
the Jayhawks to four Final Fours before re-
turning to his alma mater five years ago.

The week will surely bring mixed emo-
tions for Williams. who said after North
Carolina defeated Louisville for the East Re-
gional championship that a piece of his heart
remains in Lawrence.

North Carolina features the likely nation-
al player of the year in junior forward Tyler
Hansbrough. Major stars in the other semifi-
nal are freshmen — UCLA forward Kevin
Love and Memphis guard Derrick Rose.

The Tigers take on a UCLA team that de-
nied the program a Final Four trip in 2006.
It‘s also the same matchup that delivered the
greatest championship performance ever ,_
Bill Walton's 44 points on 21-of-22 shooting
that beat Memphis in the 1973 title game.

For Memphis and Kansas coach Bill
Self, Sunday's triumphs brought a sense of
relief. The Tigers had lost in two straight re-
gional finals.

“We had problems in the first one. and
we weren‘t good enough to win the second."
Calipari said. “We added elite players and
gained experience."

The Kansas victory over Davidson
marks the first Final Four trip of Sclf‘s ca-
reer. He had lost his previous four regional
finals, including two with the Jayhawks.

For UCLA. the frustrations have come in
the Final Four. The Bruins are making their
third straight trip and looking for the first
championship under coach Ben Howland.

“This is by far the best team in the last
three years because we have a key ingredi-
ent.“ Howland said of Love. ”He‘s an inside
player who can score and rebound like no—
body else in the country."

The Tar Heels won the 2005 champi-
onship but missed on a Final Four trip last
year when they blew a double-digit lead in
the final minutes of the regional final against
Georgetown. North Carolina players said
that loss served as motivation.
