Rogers described the Patient lidtication
(‘enters as kiosks that w ill be chipped with
computers. literature. brochures. 3-D models
and more.

The goal of the kiosks will be to help
\ isitors better understand their hospital stays
by providing current and credible cancer iii-
formation ranging from treatments to coping
methods. he said.

"People who are diagnosed with cancer
tend to be information seekers." said Judi

Dunn. who directs the hospital's Health
Information Library. will oversee the imple—
mentation of the Patient Education (‘enters
in Markey waiting rooms.

The Patient Education Center project

disruptive hospital stays by acting as both

Tuition increase
shouldn't be met ?
with silence

There should be a sigh of relief from the l'K student
population in response to the news that tuition will only
increase by nine percent in 2007-3008.

But instead of a sigh. there seems to be only silence
from the students.

After four straight years of double digit tuition in-
creases. the nine percent cap on tuition this time round is
a great tool that. on paper. would help ease the financial
burden on students of IIK's mandated top-20 status and
place the responsibility in the hands of state legislators.
In—state tuition will increase from $3.349 to $3.6M per
semester while out-of—state tuition for a semester will in-
crease from $7,078 to $7 547. and. despite a still large
increase. UK students will no longer shoulder as much of
the funding for big projects like new facilities or staff
salary increases. The source for UK's financial needs will
thus fall on the state legislators who mandated top~20 sta-
tus in the first place.

But apparently no one affected by the nation increase
has noticed.

The students the group most directly affected by
both ends of I'K‘s Top 20 Business Plan. as they both
pay for and receive its benefits don‘t seem to even
know w hat is happening to them or their school.

A week ago. I'K administrators held an open forum
and Ill\ ited students and others to discuss the nine»pet'-
cent tUition increase and how it would affect [Is and its
students. The forum presented unanswered questions of
the planned increase including why the tuition increase is
capped and what that means for the uniyersity. Less than
I: people were iii the audience at the forum. according to
a Kemel article on Wednesday. IiK officials w eren‘t sur—
prised.

I‘ls' I’royosf Kunihlc Suhhaswainy said in tlic Kernel
that the low turnout was probable because the increase
being discussed was only nine percent. unlike last years
I: percent increase. and students aren‘t as concerned as
last year

But men. in pi‘eyioiis years. students hayciit shown
much concern

On March ‘I. thtfo. a rally for increased legislatiyc
funding for state uniyei‘sitics at the capitol iii Frankfort
drew 200 students from colleges and uniyci‘sitics across
the state, ()rin the students were on scene to represent
I'Is'. the states flagship iitii\ersity and the one that has
been tagged to become a top 30 iiiii\ci‘sit\ by the state

according to a Kernel article last year Scratch. the
school‘s mascot. was also there

"This is a ridiculous turnout." said their Student. (io\
erriiiieiit (‘hief of Staff Robbie llopkiiis til the Is'ernel ar-
ticle "Maybe it's that e\crj\bod_\ is too bus‘ or may be it‘s
that nobody cares ”

More and more it does seem like no student cai‘cs
where their money is going The nine percent tuition. cap
is a good idea to help al.e\iate the growing burden of fti
itioii on students. and w ill hopefully lot‘cc- legislators to
fully fund I'K's Iop :0 Business Plan
