CELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

 

Board approves tuition, replaces renewable energy fee

By Jill Luster

ilaster®ltykernelcom

Students will not be paying a fee
originally designed to purchase renew-
able energy. the UK Board of Trustees
decided yesterday.

The board approved tuition and stu-
dent fees for the next school year yes-
terday. It passed a 9 percent tuition in-
crease for in-state students and a 6.6
percent for out-of-state students. The
board approved a $36 increase in stu-
dent fees. removing a recommendation
for a 50~cent UK Greenthumb fee. by
Pat Terrell. UK‘s vice president for the
Office of Student Affairs.

Terrell presented her proposal to the
Board of Trustee‘s Student Affairs
Committee yesterday morning. Earlier
this spring. the seven-member Student
Fee Committee recommended a 75-cent
fee. but Terrell proposed 50 cents.

Staff trustee Russ Williams pro-
posed an amendment removing the
Greenthumb fee. which would have

given UK Greenthumb and UK s Sus-
tainability Task Force oversight for

‘ about $13,000 during the fall semester.

Instead. he proposed adding
50 cents to the Student Center
fee charged to every student.

The amendment and the
new student fee amounts
passed in the Student Affairs
Committee by a 3-1 vote. Stu-
dent Govemment President
Nick Phelps and trustee
Sandy Patterson were the oth—
er two votes in favor of the
amendment. Faculty trustee
Jeff Dembo opposed it.

In an interview after the
meeting. Williams said he
wanted the cut because the student fees
proposal did not detail any specifics on
how the money would be spent; it only
gave the amount.

Phelps voted for the amendment for
similar reasons.

“There was no clear vision, and it
shouldn‘t have even made it that far,”

"We said what
we would do,
even if we didn’t
have it penny by
penny. "

TAYIoIi SHELTON

Phelps said.

Williams also said that he wanted
the Greenthumb fee removed because
other fee—based services
did not receive the mon-
ey they wanted from the
proposal and because
UK President Lee
Todd’s position is that
the university, not stu-
dents. should fund sus-
tainability efforts.

The amended stu-
dent fee recommenda-
tion went from the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee
to the Finance Commit-
tee. where it passed
unanimously. It then passed unani-
mously in the full board meeting.

Taylor Shelton. co-coordinator of
UK Greenthumb. said the organization
does not have an itemized budget for
how to spend the money but said it
would have been used for renewable
energy.

Greenthumb
co-coordinator

“Anybody who said we didn t make
it clear. I call shenanigans on them. We
said what we would do. even if we did—
n't have it penny by penny.“ Shelton
said.

Todd has said he will supplement
the funding for sustainable energy
through discretionary or non recurring
funding said UK spokesman Jay Blan-
ton. In the context of UK 5 $2 billion
operating budget for the 2008-09
school year. it will not be impossible to
find $13,000. he said.

While details have not been worked
out. the Sustainability Task Force
would probably have oversight of the
money. and UK Greenthumb would
have input. Blanton said.

Taylor said he is skeptical if the
funding will go to the sustainable en
ergy goals the Greenthumb fee would
have provided for. It might. instead.
go to smaller education efforts. he
said.

In 2006. students voted for a refer-
endum that would support a sustainabil~

ity fee of between $6 and $8. The SC
referendum was non-binding. meaning
UK does not have to enforce it. and stu-
dents approved it at about a 2-to-l ratio.

Terrell said while she saw a total
3640-58 student fee increase as a possi»
bility. she did not think a new fee of $6
or $8 for sustainability would be realis»
tie in the next few years.

Not passing the Greenthumb fee ig-
nored the resolution and student voices.
Shelton said. To sit at the full board
meeting and hear trustees vote against
the fee was shocking. he said.

“I was excited about the coinci-
dence of Earth Day and that UK is
moving toward a sustainable campus.
but somehow UK finds a way to let me
down every time." Shelton said.

The tuition and fees. including
room and board and dining costs. will
now go to the Council on Postsec—
ondary Education for approval in May.
For the first time. the CPE will hold
hearings on tuition rates for each urti-
versity on April 30 and May I.

Students to rally in support of Beijing Olympics

BLTodd Bivins

news®kykernelcom

Olympic celebrations across the world are
running into protest. but a UK student group
hosting a 2008 Beijing Olympics rally is en—
couraging students to bridge cultural differ-
ences on campus.

The Chinese Student Association will present
exhibits highlighting the Beijing Summer
Olympics today and tomorrow in the Student
Center patio from ll am. to 2 pm.

“We hope to ask the public to be operi~
minded about the many aspects of China as
well as its great and many contributions for the
2008 Olympics." said Xiaoji Ma. a second-
year electrical and computer engineering doc-
toral student.

Twelve committee members of the CSA or-
ganized the event. and more than 200 Chinese
students have volunteered to help.

The exhibits will highlight the people with-
in the university and the state who have con-
nections in the Olympics. Olympic history. and
the diversity and modernization of China.

“For the Chinese. (the Olympics) are a pre-
cious chance to introduce ourselves to the
world. And for the world. it is the best time to
see a brand new. modernized. more energetic
China." said Ma. who was born in Beijing.

Olympic celebrations around the world
have met protests from demonstrators rallying
against China's recent crackdown on anti-gov-
ernment riots in Tibet.

Criticism of China's human rights record
has turned the Olympic torch run. which trav-
els through six continents. into a contentious
trek for support for the Beijing Olympics. Ma
said the riots do not have a place in the
Olympics. which he said should be an intema-
tional celebration.

“I don‘t think there is a relationship be-

tween politics and the Olympics." Ma said.
“The Olympics are a bridge for people to know
each other rather than a prize for political rea—
sons or a place to show political demands."

The torch relay. which started on March 31.
is expected to last 130 days and covers a dis—
tance of more than 220.000 miles. according to
the Beijing 2008 Olympics Web site
(http://en.beijing2008.cn/I.

“Politics has nothing to do with our exhibi-
tion." Ma said. “I believe China will warmly
welcome over 200 nations to its capital to cele-
brate sportsmanship. athleticism. participation
and the human spirit."

Thus far. the torch has met protest in cities
such as Olympia. Greece. Paris. London and
San Francisco.

The International Olympic Committee Is
considering canceling the rest of the torch‘s
world tour. according to its Web site
(www.0lympic.org).

LOUISVILLE — The
Dream Game may be switching
its sport of allegiance. The title.
usually reserved for the annual
basketball game between UK
and Louisville. has recently
been a more accurate descrip-
tion of the annual home-and-
home series between the two
schools' baseball teams.

On April 9. a Keenan VVIlcy
walk-off home run gave the Cats
a thh-inning 7-6 win in front of
a school-record 4.009 fans. Last
night. it was the Cardinals‘ turn
to get a taste of the dramatic.

U of L third baseman Chris

box facing every baseball play-
er s dream situation. Bottom of
the ninth. Tie game. Bases
loaded. No outs.

He did not let the opportuni-
ty slip by. Dominguez delivered
a ninth-inning walk-off single
that gave the Cards a 6-5 victory
last night in front of a regular—
season record crowd of 3.652 at
Jim Patterson Stadium.

“I got the first guy. but the
next guy I got behind in the
count and lefl the ball up." said
senior reliever Brock Baber.
who struck out Justin McClana-
ban right before giving up the
game-winner. “I gave him the

Babe; entered the
ninth with zero wiggle
room. A single. an inten—
tional walk and an ill-
timed second walk from
senior reliever Andrew
Albers left Baber a bases
loaded. one-out situation
when he took the mound.

But Baber did not shy away
from the situation.

“You‘ve got to go in with
the mindset that you‘re going to
be the hero or goat.“ Baber said.
“That‘s the risk you take when
you come in. You just kind of
have to come in with ice water
in your veins knowing there is a

chance to lose it."

U of L's late-in-
ning victory handed
UK its first non-con-
ference loss in 22
games. The Cats' last
non-conference loss
came at Evansville on
May 9. 2007.

Despite the loss.
UK head coach John Cohen
drew positives from last night's
game. which. along with the
game played in Lexington earli-
er this season. had an NCAA
postseason feel.

“I think it‘s great for college
baseball in the state of Ken-
tucky." Cohen said. “I think it‘s

here five years ago and we were
playing in the old (‘ardinal Sta-
dium you could have fired a ma»
chine gun into the stands and
not hit anybody. It was probably
very similar at out place."

“I think it's neat for both
clubs." he said.

And not all was IOsl for
Bryan Rose. The seldom-used
redshirt freshman. who entered
yesterday‘s contest with just one
career home run and eight starts.

(‘ohen said he wanted to

the freshman was suffering from

“I saw the ball well and got

Rose said. “It was definitely ex-

But despite UK‘s struggles
this season. seniors Audrey Mey-
er. Samantha Allen. Megan lolly.
Ashley Dimkich and Lindsay
Brogdon will play their final
games in blue and white with the
belief that they‘ve pointed the
program in the right direction.

Although they have a com-
bined record of 77-139, Dim-
kich said they have jumpstarted
the program, which is only in its
12th year of existence.

“We have taken steps in the
right direction, especially with
coach (Rachel) Lawson. who is
a great teacher of the game,"
Dimkich said. “This program
will be competing for SEC titles
in the coming years."

The Cats won't be taking
home any hardware this year for
the regular season and likely
won’t have the chance to com~
pete in the SEC Tournament in
Baton Rouge, La. Because only
the top eight teams from the

hope the teams ahead of them
lose nearly every game.

That‘s disappointing news to
Dimkich and the seniors. but she

The seniors realize their
days are numbered as Cats, but
they said they will never forget
the experience — from the gru—
eling 6 am. workouts to the fre-
quent road trips.

“I’m not ready for this to
end. but I know 1 can always
look back at memories and think
of the good times," Meyer said.
“Some of my best friends are

niors with me this year."

Cats have won just three of their
last 24 games A but many of
UK‘s struggles can be attributed
to a wealth of injuries and a de-
pleted roster.

When the Cats were healthy.
they stomted off to a 13-10 start.
proving the seniors we're turning
the program into a legitimate
threat for years to come. Dimv
kich said.

While a disappointing finish
might not show the national
pundits how far the program has
come. Dimkich said critics need
to look no farther than UK‘s up-
set over then-No. () Tennessee
on March l5 to see how much
the Cats have improved.

"That game is probably the
one that sticks out of all the
games in my four years here.”
Dimkich said. “We were able to
turn some heads. and teams
started taking us seriously."
