Ky. House budget billrestores $40 million for UK

By Jill Latter
.laster@kykernel.com

The Kentucky House of Represen-
tatives has approved a budget that uses
revenue from tax increases to get fund-
ing for state programs. including restor-
ing $40 million in funding for UK over
the next two years.

In a 50-45 vote last week. the
House approved a $19 billion state bud-
get for the next two years that would
raise both the gas tax and the cigarette
tax. The estimated $300 million raised
by the increases would be used to re-
verse much of Gov. Steve Beshear‘s
proposed 12 percent budget cut for
state agencies and public universities.

Under the plan passed by the
House. the gas tax would go up 1.5

cents per gallon. The funds would be
used to pay for $500 million in road re-
pair. The cigarette tax would nearly
double. up 25 cents per pack from the
30 cents currently levied.

To take effect. the budget still needs
the approval of the state Senate and the
govemor‘s signature.

The bill also provides full funding
for the Kentucky Educational Excel—
lence Scholarship program. which uses
state dollars to supplement lottery eam-
ings. However. the Senate may consid—
er KEES cuts when it receives the bud-
get to revise. said Rep. Jim Wayne, D-
Louisville.

“That’s a nonessential government
service. so it’s something that could
easily be put on the chopping block."
said Wayne. who sponsored the

House‘s tax increase bill.

The budget passed by the House
would leave in place a 3 percent cut for
public universities enacted by the gov-
ernor in December. The $40 million
restoration will help the university with
costs. but it is too early to tell what im-
pact the cut would have on UK’s bud»
get and tuition increases. President Lee
Todd said in a statement to the Kernel.

“Going forward. one of our chief
goals is to try to hold down tuition
costs as much as possible. while recog-
nizing that an increase of some level is
inevitable. given rising costs“ for heat-
ing. building materials and other essen-
tials." Todd said.

Tuition rates will not be decided
until April. Last month. Todd said UK
could not guarantee a tuition increase

under 10 percent if the state does not
give UK the funding to meet the goals
set by the university’s Top 20 Business
Plan. UK‘s plan calls for state appropri-
ations to increase by $20 million each
year.

It is also undecided if the current
staff hiring freeze will end if the final
budget includes the restored funding.
said UK spokesman Jay Blanton.

The bill would also cut 3.4]2 state
jobs through attrition, which means em-
ployees who leave state jobs would not
be replaced. About 5.460 state employ-
ees are expected to retire this year. ac—
cording to a release from the Speaker
of the House’s office.

Raising taxes and cutting jobs for
revenue will keep tuition rates manage-
able. Wayne said. He also said he ex-

pects the public may not be receptive to
the House’s tax increases.

“There's always some pushback."
Wayne said. “Some people don’t under-
stand there‘s no way we can provide
these services without tax increases."

“If we don't have revenue. there
could be devastating cuts in services,"
he said.

Rep. Bob Damron, D-Lexington.
voted against the House bill raising tax-
es. He said the gas tax comes at a time
when oil prices are at an all—time high.
and the cigarette tax could harm
McLane. a shipping company with a
factory in Nicholasville. Ky.. that
would have to pay between $3 and $4
million in inventory taxes.

Parental
behaviors,
biases topic
of lecture

By Ben Hyatt

news@kykernel.com

Bill Swinford is going to tell UK
students things their parents won‘t.

As part of UK‘s Final Word lec-
ture series. which invites professors
to discuss topics outside of their ar—
eas of focus, Swinford said he hopes
students will see that the behaviors
of their parents are part of a univer-
sal parenting code.

“Today's society requires us to
behave in a certain manner. and it is
the responsibility of the parents to
enforce that behavior on their chil-
dren." said Swinford. UK's director
of policy analysis.

The lecture. tonight at 6 in the
WT. Young Library auditorium. will
give students the Chance to “discuss
with other students how their parents
act on a day to day basis." Swinford
said.

The idea for his speech. “The
Things Your Parents Won't Tell
You." came from the personal inter-
actions and experiences he has with
his four children. he said.

Swinford said he first realized
the way society requires students to
act when his child came home from
preschool with a letter telling the
child to work on coloring inside the
lines.

He plans to discuss the role par-
ents play in teaching their children
and also to try to provide a better un-
derstanding of both wrong and right
biases and perspectives that parents
can give their children.

“We are not very transparent
about our motivations.“ Swinford
said. ”This forum is designed to dis-
cuss why parents say the things they
say and how they mean it."

The forum is meant for students
and parents alike who feel they don‘t
have a clear understanding of par—
enting roles. Swinford said.

“Not only do I want students to
understand their parents more. I
want students to be more aware of
how to be a parent as well," he said.

The forum will be a learning ex-
perience for everyone. including

Members of the men's basketball team celebrate on the sidelines after senior guard Ramel Bradley hit a jumper in the final seconds of UK's game against Georgia in the Southeast-
ern Conference quarterfinals. The Cats lost to the Bulldogs in overtime, but the loss was not enough to prevent UK from making its 17th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance

Cats to dance on the West Coast

UK makes the NCAA Tournament for
the 17th consecutive season; to face
No.6 seed Marquette in Anaheim, Calif.

By Trav_is Waldron
twaldron@kykernel.com

Billy Gillispie paused. looked to
the ground and tried to contain his
emotions. For the third time this sea-
son. UK‘s first-year head coach had
choked up talking about his team.

Gillispie and senior guards Ramel
Bradley and Joe Crawford have been
to the NCAA Tournament before. But
this time. they all agreed that it was a
different feeling when UK‘s name

flashed on the screen during CBS's Se-
lection Show last night.

The Cats (1842. 12-4 Southeast-
ern Conference) earned the No. II
seed in the South region and will play
No. 6 seed Marquette (24—9. ll-7 Big

East) on Thursday in Anaheim. Calif. .

at 2:30 pm. Eastern time. The bid ex—
tends UK's NCAA Toumament streak
to 17 seasons dating back to l992. UK
hasn‘t lost a first round game in those
17 seasons.

“It‘s a great testament to guys that

believe in themselves and believe in
what they're trying to do." Gillispie
said. “This team has possessed so
many intangibles this year. and that
really is the reason we still have the
opportunity to play."

Bradley and Crawford have played
in the Big Dance in each of their three
seasons. but this year. it's a little more
special. Bradley said. because of what
they had to battle through to get there.

“The previous three years. we were
just always like. ‘OK. we know we're
in: where are we going to bc'." "
Bradley said. “(This year) we kind of
felt like one of those teams who‘s not
used to winning all the time. and
(we‘re) just excited to make it to the
Big Dance.“

Gillispie agreed.

When a reporter asked him how
this tournament bid differed from the
others ~ he coached Texasiil l’aso to
one NCAA Toumamcnt bid and Texas
A&M to two — the stone-laced Texan
answered quickly.

"I'm really proud." (iillispie said.

Then he paused and looked at the
floor. With tears w'clling in his eyes. he
tried to gather himself. As another
question was asked. Gillispie finally
began speaking again.

“I‘m really proud of this team." he
added. “I've been proud of cwry \lnA

though. for the “Big Blue
Mist." as one pundit
dubbed the fan base
years ago. to travel to the
SEC Tournament and fail
to see its team play a sin-
gle game.

That's exactly what
happened in Atlanta this
week. where a tornado
hit the downtown area —
including the Georgia
Dome — just minutes
before the scheduled tip—
off of UK‘s game against

tered the dome. forcing SEC officials
to postpone the game.

It was played the next day at
Georgia Tech‘s Alexan-
der Memorial Coliseum.
but with only about
9.l00 seats available. the
SEC didn‘t allow fans to
attend the game.

That made the trip to
the Gateway to the South
all for naught for most
UK fans. and their reac-
tions to the SEC's ruling
differed.

Wooton now lives in

the SEC did so.

Wooton. who was attending her third
SEC Toumament. “I understand that
circumstances happen that you can‘t

down here. and none of them got to
go."

The SEC says it is working on a
refund process and that more infor-
mation will be available through its
Web site (wwwSECsportscomt.

The late arrival of the storm gave
the SEC little time to make a decision
about how to complete the touma-
ment. Around 2 am. Saturday. offi-

Despite a devastating
diagnosis, friends tell
Us the star is upbeat
and ready to fight

By Mara Reinstein

Just two months ago. director
Timothy Linh Bui sat down for
dinner with his Powder Blue star
Patrick Sway/e. “Everything
was great." Bui recalls. So when
news broke that SwayLe was but-
tling terminal cancer. Bui was
stunned. "At dinner. I did not
know that he was sick at all." he
tells Us. “I don‘t think he knew."

But on March 5. George
Fisher. Sway/.e‘s physician at
the Stanford (‘anccr Center in
Stanford. California. confirmed
that Sway/c. 55. had been diag—
nosed with pancreatic cancer
and blasted the National Enquir-
cr‘s claim that the actor had just
five weeks to live. “All of the
reports stating the time frame of
his prognosis and his physical
side effects are absolutely un~
true." he said. "Patrick has a
very limited amount of the dis-
ease and he appears to be re-
sponding well to treatment."
(Sway/.e‘s rep. who confirmed
the diagnosis March 5. tells Us
he has not undergone surgery.)
Nonetheless. given the severity
of pancreatic cancer. there's no
denying that the ruggedly hand—
some actor is in the fight of his
life. And those close to the actor
say he‘s undeterrcd. "I‘ve never
seen him scared of anything!"
his sister-in-law Maria Haa-

paniemi tells Us. “He deals with
everything the same way: He‘s
determined. enthusiastic. full of
energy and hope,"

A Dancer’s Life

Swayze‘s fervent fans expect
nothing less. The Houston-bom
son of a chemical~plant engineer
and a dance instructor exploded
into pop culture as a (frequently
shirtless) dance instructor in
1987‘s classic “Dirty Dancing"
(he also sang the movie‘s song
“She‘s Like the Wind"). The
1990 hit Ghost solidified his
leading man status. abetted by
an offscreen love story rare in
Hollywood: He‘s been married
to dancer Lisa Niemi. 51. since
l975. “He is what we would like
America to be.“ his longtime
acting coach Milton Katsclas
tells Us, “He is that wholesome.
that alive ! healthy. vigorous.
honest."

He has also contended with
some demons. After his sister
Vicky committed suicide in
1994. Swayze. who has another
sister and two brothers. strug-
gled with alcoholism and ended
up in rehab. Six years later. sus-
picions lingered after he crashed
the Cessna plane he was pilot—
ing. In addition. the actor is a
lifelong smoker. (Mariza Yanez.
a staffer at Fast Stop Market
near Swayze‘s ranch in Sylmar.
(‘alif.. confirms that he regularly
buys cigarettes.) is his habit
linked to the diagnosis? “Smok-
ers have three times more of a
risk." says Dr. Syma Iqbal. a
pancreatic cancer specialist at
L.A.‘s USC/Norris Comprehen~

linn'crsity of Return kv liiiitls

sive Cancer Center. who is not
treating Swayze. "However. I
have patients who have never
touched a cigarette and still have
the disease."

What Now?

Though the odds are diffi-
cult. Swayze has not let the ill—
ness slow him down. "Nothing
has changed: He lives on the
ranch and rides horses." says a
Swayze source. “He's staying ac-
tive." Ditto his career. Aside
from Powder Blue (out by year‘s
end). his new TV pilot. The
Beast (in which he plays an FBI
agent). “is in contention to be-
come a new drama series on the
network." an A&E rep said in a
statement to Us. As for the per-
sonal drama. “Lisa has told me
that he's in high spirits." Katselas
tells Us. “If anybody can beat the
odds. it’s Patrick. He's going to
end up inspiring us all."

A Deadly Form of Cancer
it‘s a devastating disease with
very few treatment options." says
Iqbal. Most common in men over
age 70. the cancer often goes un-
diagnosed because symptoms.
such as abdominal pain and di-
gestive trouble. are attributed to
other ailments. (The pancreas
helps breaks down food and se-
cretes hormones.) After surgery.
Iqbal notes. chemotherapy con-
trols symptoms —— but is no cure.
Even if the cancer hasn't spread
to other organs. she says. the sur—
vival rate is “about 15 percent.“

Women’s team awaits postseason fate

By Eric Lindsey
alindseyokykernelcom

While many UK students
headed south to bask in the sun
and take a break from school.
nearly all of UK‘s spring athlet-
ic teams were in action over
Spring Break, as many of them
battled in postseason play. '

Although the UK men‘s bas-
ketball team earned a spot in the
NCAA Tournament — the Cats
are a No. II seed and will play
No. 6 seed Marquette in Ana-
heim, Calif, on Thursday — the
women’s fate remains in the air.

The women’s team downed
Georgia 57-50 in Nashville on
March 7, behind senior center
Sarah Elliott‘s 16 points. With
the victory, the Cats advanced to
the Southeastern Conference
semifinals for the first time
since 2006. ‘

Unfortunately for the Cats,
their opponent in the semifinals
was No. 6 Louisiana State.
which had already beaten the
Cats twice this season. Much
like the previous two meetings,
LSU and senior center Sylvia
Fowles were too much for UK
to handle, as the Tigers defeated
the Cats 64-49.

The loss left UK squarely on
the NCAA Tournament bubble.
The Cats' record stands at 15-
15, including an 8-6 mark in the
SEC.

The NCAA Tournament
field will be announced tonight
at 7 on ESPN. If the Cats are
not one of the 64 teams selected.
they will most likely end up in
the Women's National Invita-
tional Tournament.

Cool Cats' tourney run
spoded

Coming off one of their most
successful regular seasons in re-
cent history. the Cool Cats found
themselves in Fort Myers, Fla..
over Spring Break in the Ameri-
can Collegiate Association Divi-

sion II National Tournament for
the first time in 13 years.

But despite snapping their
13-year toumament-less streak
and winning l4 of 16 games
down the stretch. the Cool Cats
went l-2 in the national touma-
ment to end their season.

Eventual national champion
Davenport dominated the Cool
Cats 8-l on March 12. UK then
lost 4-3 to Eastern Washington
before closing the season with a
6-2 victory over Bryant on
March 14.

_Track and field wraps up
indoor season

The UK track and field
squads finished the indoor sea-
son at the NCAA Indoor Cham-
pionships in Fayetteville, Ark..
on Saturday. The women‘s
squad scored four points in two
events to finish in a tie for 46th
place, but the men‘s team was
held scoreless.

Senior Lavera Morris earned
the Cats‘ first point with an
eighth-place finish in the
women’s 800—meter run. Sopho-
more Jenna Martin tallied the
other three UK points. finishing
in sixth place in the women’s
400-meter dash.

The Cats resume their out-
