groups seek
other funds

B_y Katie. Salt:
ksaltz@kykernel.com

Student organizations are going to
have to find funding sources other than
Student Govemment for the rest of this
school year.

50 used up the retnainder of its
funds set aside for student groups —
$70.00() for the year. more than a fifth
of 50‘s $.3l5.()00 budget A at last
week‘s Senate meeting. The Senate vot-
ed to give around $10,000 to fund eight
Senate special projects.

Appropriations and Revenue Com-
mittee Chairman Kevin Parrott said
about IO student organizations have
tumed in funding requests that 50 can-
not afford. and he is contacting the
groups to let them know there is no
more money available.

The UK Forestry Club is one group
that had asked for funds that are now
unavailable. Club president Ryan McN-
ertney. a forestry senior. said 50 had
not contacted him yet. but he had heard
that A&R had no more money to allo-
cate.

“It‘s not fair. but the blame doesn't
fall directly on (50)." McNenney said.
“I think if they say they‘re here to fund
student organizations. they should be
able to offer money more than a couple
months into the semester."

The club was requesting $500 to
help with travel expenses to go to a
competition at the University of Florida.
McNertney said. Without SG funding.
the burden will fall on the club mem-
bers. he said.

The Japanese Culture in Kentucky
Society also applied for funding from
SC but will not receive money.

Birth-control

With circular postcards shaped like
birth-control dispensers. Planned Par-
enthood of Kentucky hopes to get col-
lege students involved in its efforts to
cotnbat the rising cost of oral contracep-
tives.

This week. Planned Parenthood cen-
ters across the nation will be setting up
tables on college campuses to raise
awareness about the importance of birth
control and to petition for a fix to the in-
crease in the cost of birth control in uni-
versity health centers. said Shirley
Jones. CEO of Planned Parenthood of
Kentucky.

“We want to make students aware
that they have a voice with concern to
the increase in the cost of birth control."
Jones said. “We want them to share that
concem."

The nationwide campaign is an ef-
fort to show Congress support for a bill
that would restore affordable prices for
birth control to colleges and universi-
ties. Jones said.

Bluegrass Community and Techni-
cal College may be moving from
Cooper Drive to Newtown Pike as
part of a deal announced by Gov.
Steve Beshear on Thursday.

Eastern State fibspital. a 184~year-
old mental health facility on Newtown
Pike. will get a new building on UK‘s
Coldstream Research Campus.
Beshear said in a news release.

BCTC could then leave its loca-
tion on Cooper Drive and construct a

C ELEBRATING 37 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE

BCTC move could give UK more space

classroom and lab building where
Eastern State is now. Beshear said.

UK could use the space now occu-
pied by BCT C for classroom and park-
ing space. said UK spokesman Jay
Blanton. Nothing has been decided yet
in what will be a long process involving
legislative approval and talks among
the involved institutions. he said.

“There's a lot to be done yet. but
it's a win—win." Blanton said.

The deal began in September in
conversations between Rep. Jimmie
Lee. R-Elizabethtown. and UK Presi-

dent Lee Todd‘s legislative liaison.

 

Lee said. Because of scheduling. it
took several months to get all of the
parties involved to the table. he said.

Once everyone talked about it.
they realized the benefits of the deal.
Lee said. In a new facility. Eastern
State patients would get treatment that
is not possible in the Newtown Pike
location. Lee said.

“It‘s I84 years old ~— it started out
to be an insane asylum." Lee said. “It
just doesn‘t fit what we need to do to-
day with the mentally ill. and it hasn‘t
for a while."

The Lexington-Fayette Urban

County Govemment would pay $129
million to finance the two—year con—
struction project, according to a news
release from the govemor‘s office.
The hospital would not begin to pay
the bonds back until 2010.

The General Assembly allotted
money for a new classroom and lab
building for BCTC in 2005. and
BCTC could begin building as soon as
contracts are signed and the Senate ap-
proves the deal. said Lee. who worked
extensively on the agreement.

Believers, atheists to ponder age- old question Is there a God?

.31 Megan No!

news@kykernel corn

Humanity has yet to reach a defini-
tive answer. but UK students will get
their chance at a forum tonight to ask.
“Does God exist?"

Seven panelists will represent athe—
ism. Christianity and Islam at the forum
“Does God Exist"): Arguments from
Both Sides." tonight at 7:30 in the Stu-
dent Center Small Ballroom.

Event director Bryan Kennedy. a
journalism sophomore. said he cannot
guarantee the forum will provide an an-
swer to this age—old query but said he
promises it will generate discussion
within a diverse community. Kennedy

is also an occasional writer for the Ker—
nel.

“Especially in college. you‘re
around so many different people who
don‘t know what their feelings are for
different things." Kennedy said.
“Somebody going against the normal.
everyday religion is pretty interesting
— it‘s good to try to see where they're
coming from."

The discussion aims to give stu-
dents a better understanding of beliefs
other than their own so they can build
relationships with people and ideas
that are unfamiliar to them. Kennedy
said.

No members of UK SHIFT. the
Society for Humanistic. Intellectual and

iMHM-Wmam

P

Free Thought. will represent atheism.
along with Edwin Kagin. national di»
rector of American Atheists Inc.. a na-
tional educational organization for athe-
ists.

A university campus is an ideal
place to host this type of discussion.
Kagin said.

“A university is the place that peo-
ple should be able to have an exchange
of ideas without getting banned for it."
he said.

Three students from UK Campus
Crusade for Christ will speak for Chris-
tianity. Ben Homback. a member of
CRU. agreed to be on the panel be-
cause he said the Bible calls on Chris-
tians to defend their beliefs.

“It's something that a lot of Chris-
tians and a lot of people in general just
don‘t do.“ said Homback. “They don't
know why they believe what they be—
lieve. They‘re told what to believe and
they just kind of accept it."

A member of the Muslim Student
Association will represent Islam.

One of the atheist panelists. UK
SHIFT founder and president Adam
Leedy. said his organization endures at-
tacks from many religious angles,

“We are constantly painted as
amoral. anti-American. angry militants
or any other negative description you
can think of." Leedy said. “We are real-
ly just normal people who happen to
have our own ideas about religion."

0

According to the 2008 Statistical
Abstract. 77 percent of adults in the
United States identify with the beliefs
of Christianity. Less than one percent is
reported to identify with Islam and one
percent with atheism.

Despite its majority. Christianity
also suffers from misconceptions.
Homback said.

"Occasionally in intellectual con-
versations. people say. ‘Oh. you're
Christian. Clearly we should stop talk»
ing because it's going to be over your
head.‘ " Homback said.

Kennedy said he will moderate the
forum but hopes the audience will have
its own questions to further the discus~
sion.

Speaker: Think creatively about future of health care

Mm
newsflkykemolcom

Watts Wacker asked students and
faculty in the Gatton School of Busi-
ness and Economics to give themselves
pemiission to think big when it comes
to pursuing a career.

“Curiosity is the No. 1 talent em-
ployers should look for in their employ-
ees." said Wacker, the keynote speaker
at the annual Chellgren Lecture Series
hosted by the Gatton School. Wacker is
a futurist ~— someone who predicts fu-
ture trends based on current tendencies
— and founder of First Matter, a think

tank based in Connecticut.

More than 100 students and faculty
attended Friday’s panel dis-
cussion. which aimed to
show how the health care
field will evolve in the future
and how health care can be
expanded and improved in
the business world.

The discussion, titled
“The Business of Life: Op-
portunities for Health Care."
featured Wacker and a panel
of accomplished UK alumni
and faculty. including Scott Roeth. co
chair of Emmi Solutions‘ Industry Ad-

 

Wacker

visory Board; UK surgery professor
Sibu Saha; and Tom Liston. senior vice
president for strategy and cor-
porate development at Humana.

"As you pursue your future
career. the health care (industry)
needs your help," Roeth said.
“We need every position. from
hospital administrators to sales-
men.“

Roles that have to be filled
include improvements in tech-
nology, advertising to promote
healthy lifestyles and working
to sustain the cost of health care, Saha
said.

in technology. what people know
today will change tomorrow. Saha said.
The panel agreed that health care would
change substantially as technology im-
proved but said there are other elements
to making improvements.

“The health care system needs to
find new ways to motivate healthy
lifestyles.“ Liston said. "Obesity and
some diseases can be prevented by fol-
lowing a healthy lifestyle."

Gordon Holbein. a senior lecturer
in the Gatton School. said the panelists
helped show students that what is
taught in class is not just theory. but is
applied by real-world executives.

“These lectures are designed to cre-
ate world-ready students that see the
connections between leadership. tech-
nology. society. government and eco-
nomics." Holbein said.

Many students said Wacker and the
other panelists helped them realize the
opportunities for business students in
the health care field.

“As business students. not only can
we learn to become a CEO of a compa-
ny. but rather a CEO that has the ability
to make a difference in the field of
health care." said Colin Dempsey. a
business management and Spanish
freshman.

 

BASKETBALL

tently hitting big shots down the stretch.
The Cats got gritty performances from
nearly every player on the court, with
Stevenson (13 points. 14 rebounds),
Harris (12 points) and senior guard
Ramel Bradley (17 points) leading the
way.

“You can never replace what Patrick
did." Stevenson said. “You just have to
try harder."

After trailing for the first 26 min-
utes of the game. the Cats took their
first lead on an old—fashioned 3-pointer
from Harris. The sophomore guard was
fouled while hitting a jumper near the
free-throw line and then made the en-
suing free throw to put the Cats up
42-41.

The two teams traded baskets from
then until the final buzzer, but the Cats
(16-11, 10-4 Southeastern Conference)
became tumover—prone down the
stretch, leading to seven straight points
from the Vols (26-3. 12-2 SEC). Ulti—
mately. it was too much for UK to over-
come in the final seconds.

“We looked at this game like it was
the championship game (for the SEC)."
said Crawford, who chipped in nine
points while playing through foul trou—
ble for most of the game. “We put our-
selves in a position to win; we just did-
n’t pull out the victory."

The loss keeps the Cats in second
place in the SEC East. a position head
coach Billy Gillispie said his team was-
n‘t looking forward to. If the Cats had
won, they would have been in first place

in the SEC East.

“We didn't come in here looking to
be in second place.“ Gillispie said. “We
came here to win."

In the second half, the Cats came
out attacking against the Vols. forcing
Tennessee to play a half-court game.
But while the Cats pulled within two
points early. Crawford picked up his
fourth foul just four minutes into the
half. With Crawford joining Patterson
and injured sophomore guard Jodie
Meeks on the bench. the Cats attacked
the low post with Stevenson and Harris,
who Crawford said played the best
game of his UK career.

“I just wanted to be aggressive.“
Harris said. “Coach was saying I had
been passive, and I just wanted to not
make mistakes while being aggressive.
And I just thought l couldn‘t be passive
today. 1 can’t just be an extra body out
there."

Even without Patterson, the Cats
tried to establish a post presence from
sophomore forward Mark Coury and
Stevenson. But both Coury and Steven-
son struggled early to produce the offen-
sive low-post game Patterson provides.
with both accounting for only three
points in the first half.

Even after Tennessee stormed out to
a 20—5 first-half lead. UK battled back
late in the half. Led by Harris. the Cats
struck back with a mixed attack, using
3-pointers and slashing layups and
jumpers in the lane to pull within seven
points at halftime.

But the Cats couldn’t pull it off in
the final minutes of the game and fell
for just the second time in the last 11
games. putting the Cats’ NCAA Touma-
ment hopes squarely on the bubble.

Without Patterson, UK‘s automatic tour-
ney bid looks as shaky as ever.

Still. the Cats felt they sent a mes-
sage to those who think UK shouldn’t
be in the tournament without its fresh-
man star.

“11 says that we’re improved."
Jasper said. “We’re coming together
every game. We're uniting."

did he manage to keep the Cats in
the game. but he put together a
game plan that had his team in the
lead .with less than five minutes in
the game.

That should be enough to make
him the conference’s top coach this
season. but it probably won‘t. It will

Bruce Pearl. who has the confer-

ence’s best talent. Or to Mississippi
State head coach Rick Stansbury.
whose team is in first place in the
SEC West thanks to the conference‘s
best player, Jamont Gordon.

This game, combined with the
other injuries and setbacks this team
has faced this year. showed why
Gillispie is the conference‘s top
coach this season.

UK spotted the Vols a 15-point
lead just eight minutes into the
game. But the Cats came back.

They did it without much from
Crawford. who was forced to the
bench with 5:33 to go in the first
half after picking up his third foul.
He didn’t return.

Then. just 3:06 into the second
half, he picked up his fourth foul.
He didn‘t return until the 7:23 mark.

So how did the Cats do it with
no Patterson, little from Crawford
and after trailing by 15 points?

They took the shot clock under
five seconds on nearly every posses—
sion to limit Tennessee’s possessions.

 

probably go to Tennessee head coach

ence’s best team, but also the confer-

They out-rebounded Tennessee 33—31
without Patterson and with three
players each playing 40 minutes.
They only let Chris Lofton get off
two 3-point attempts. And they got
career performances from Perry
Stevenson (13 points. 14 rebounds.
Ramon Harris (12 points, five re—
bounds) and Deka Jasper (nine
points. eight boards and eight assists).

Those players were good be—
cause Gillispie put them in a posi-
tion to play good. And Gillispie was
so good he even predicted how the
game would play out.

“Coach predicted the whole
game, the whole game plan ," senior
guard Ramel Bradley said. “He
knew that they were probably going
to come out and get a big lead on us
and we were just going to have to
fight. take it one possession at a time
and claw our way back in the bas-
ketball game and continue to fight.

“Five minutes left, they were go-
ing to tighten up a little bit. and we
were going to be in a position to win
the basketball game."

How prophetic. Jasper‘s 3-point-
er with 1:01 left moved UK to with—
in three. After Ramar Smith missed
a free throw with 15 seconds, Craw—
ford had a good look at a game-ty-
ing three from the baseline. It went
in and out.

After the game. Gillispie was
kicking himself.

“1 should have called a timeout."
Gillispie said. “That’s my fault.”

Maybe. But everything else he
did was just about perfect.

SG

Continued from page A1

 

Ben Chaffins. the group‘s treasurer.
said it asked for money to help pay for
club trips. SG should have planned bet-
ter to prevent this situation, he said.

“My view is that (SG) should have
an idea of how many clubs and organi-
zations come to them every year.“ said
Chaffins, a biology junior. “I've never
heard of them running out of money in
February before."

The Japanese Culture Society will
be looking for donations from places in
the community to find the money that
56 could not provide, Chaffins said.

Jesse Horn, former president and
current member of the UK men's rugby
team — which received $1,000 for new
bleachers at the last Senate meeting —
said since groups cannot get any more
SG funding, they could try to find local
sponsors.

"If you’re willing to have people
tell you no, you’ll end up with some
money in your hand," said Horn. a
community and leadership develop—
ment graduate student.

However, many organizations like
his depend on 80 money during the
year. Horn said.

“Club sports don‘t receive a great
deal of funding from the university,"
Horn said. “We certainly wouldn‘t have
been able to purchase the bleachers

without that money."

Hom said even though many orga-
nizations have membership dues. that
money goes quickly. Registration dues.
trips and special projects like the
bleachers are difficult to fund without
taking more money directly from club
members.

All groups that were told that they
would receive money will get it. said
Todd Cox. the SG adviser. but A&R
will not be accepting any new funding
requests.

Since the committee cannot take
any more funding requests, it will
spend the rest of the semester working
on other elements of the A&R com-
mittee. including the application
process for funding and the amounts

of money that groups can receive. Par-
rott said.

“We‘re going to possibly rewrite
some of the funding requests and
maybe tweak the amounts :1 little." Par-
rott said. “I feel it might enable us to
give more grants."

Cox said that in a way. it is good
that A&R allocated all of its money be-
cause it reflects the efforts of the sena—
tors this year.

“1 think the reality is the Senate
was very visible and very vocal about
helping student organizations, so
more students organizations came
asking for money.“ Cox said. “I think
there were 60 to 80 groups that re-
ceived some funding. and that’s a
good number."

 

BIRTH CONTROL

Continued from page A1

 

“Unfortunately. Congress passed
a bill which unintentionally prevents
us from providing low-cost birth
control.” said Cecile Richards. pres-
ident of Planned Parenthood Federa~
tion of America. “We are working
really hard to meet the expanding
need for affordable birth control."

UK is among nearly 1.370 uni-
versities that have seen an increase
in the cost of birth control since
Congress passed a deficit-reduction
bill in 2005.

The bill concentrated on Medic-
aid, a federal insurance program for
