Study buddy: Studying in smaller college libraries
can be helpful if people are studying similar subjects

By Peter c. Eclov
CONIRIBUTING WRITER

Kevin Looney had to
switch his study place
since last semester.

“I just stay at home be-
cause the library parking
lot is too full," said the
business management ju-
nior.

Many students and ad-
ministrators suggest find-
ing a quiet place to study
when preparing for final
exams.

A good study spot is
somewhere that is as dis-
traction free as possible.
said Mary Bolin-Reece, di-
rector of the counseling
and testing center.

Dorm rooms and bed-
rooms are not usually the
best places because they
can be distracting, she
said.

“You need to find a qui-
et. visually calm place."
Bolin-Reece said. "Looking
at the backs of books caus-
es fewer distractions than

the television and posters
in your room. You should
set an amount of time
aside for studying. then
leave your room and do it.
Think of it like a job -
you work, and then you get
to go home when you get
off."

David Tillery, an agri-
cultural economics senior,
said he likes to use the
agriculture library in the
basement of the Agricul-
ture North building.

“It's quiet. It has a
large quiet room, and
many people I have class
with study there too."
Tillery said.

"So if I get stuck.
there's usually someone
from class there I can talk
to."

Elizabeth Arnold. a
merchandizing apparel and
textile senior, said she
likes to study at Intermez-
zo. a cafe and deli on the
second floor of the Patter-
son Office Tower.

“They have coffee, it‘s

relatively quiet and it is in
the middle of campus."
Arnold said. "I can often
stop there on my breaks to
study and I am not far from
my next class."

Undeclared sophomore
Josh Fowling said he wants
to try the amphitheater
next to Memorial Hall if it
is nice outside.

He said the open space
and calm surroundings
will help him study during
finals week.

Many of the smaller li-
braries are great alterna-
tives to the WT. Young Li-
brary. Bolin-Reece said.

If students go to their
colleges’ libraries, they
can probably find study
partners and reference ma-
terials that pertain to what
they are studying. she said.

Intermezzo. the Med-
ical Library, the Fine-Arts
Library and the Education
Center at Dickey Hall are
other alternative study ar-
eas she said.

“Depending on what
you are close to and what
your major is. you might
find these other colleges
better suited for you,"
she said.

UK honors
outstanding
achievements

ByBenFain

STAFF WRITER

When a record number of students — 4,148 ~—
participate in UK's 136th Commencement May 10,
only a select few will receive awards and honors.

But, special recognition will not just go to the
award winners.

Senior Carissa Curry, a sociology senior, is the
commencement’s student speaker.

“I am beaming. This is the biggest honor for me,
because it’s on the day of my graduation and I get to
represent the senior class,” Curry said.

Curry said she thinks she was chosen based of
her speaking abilities and because her practice
speech came from the heart.

The heart of her speech focuses on overcoming
adversity by recognizing that everyone comes with
“his or her own set of tools," Curry said.

While delivering a speech is nothing new to Cur-
ry — she can still remember a speech she made in the
first grade —— this a new experience for her.

“I’ve never delivered a speech to an audience in
the thousands before, maybe a couple of hundred, at
the most," Curry said. “Every day there is something
new for preparing. Like today, we took pictures.”

She admits she is not nervous — yet.

“I probably will be a few hours before it though,”
she said. “I hope that it relates well and that they’re
not yawning.”

While Curry will deliver a speech, many of her
classmates will receive other honors.

Sullivan Medallions, presented for outstanding
public service will go to two students:

0 Andrea Murray, an agricultural biotechnology
senior, for her work as founder of Girls for Christ, a
mentoring program for middle and high school girls,
many of whom reside in government housing.

“I’m honored, but I’m not big on recognition,"
she said, “It’s something everybody should do. I real-
ly appreciate these~kids. Many of them don’t have
very positive role models in their lives”

Murray also volunteers at UK Hospital with a
reading and tutoring program and the City Life
House organization.

a Finn Green, a December English graduate. who
worked extensively in the fundraising and planning
for the renovation of UK’s Haggan baseball field.
Green received a lot of attention for his undergradu-
ate research project on adolescent substance use and
abuse. This is a personal topic for Green.

“I‘m a recovering alcoholic," he said. He is also
44 years old. He entered college just weeks before his
40th birthday. “I wanted to learn how to write and
how to fill a void in my life,” Green said.

Nearly four years later, he graduated Summa Cum
Laude, completing a Gaines Fellowship :1 year earlier -
a shocker, considering that he did not like high school.

“I was ready to go to college when I was 40. I was
more mature," he said, “I had God in my life.”

a Curtis Absher, a non-student, who recently re-
tired after 34 years with UK’s Cooperative Extension
Program.

Other awards will go to:

0 Joseph Chappell, professor of agricultural
biotechnology, will receive the 2003 Albert D. and Eliz-
abeth H. Kirwan Memorial Prize, a $5,000 award for
research on plant metabolism and enzyme engineer-

mg.

. Dale Bauer, director of graduate studies in the
English department. will receive the $2,000 William
B. Sturgill Award, which is presented to a graduate
faculty member each year for outstanding contribu-
tions to graduate education.

“I’m very excited,” said Bauer. “My favorite part
of the job is working with graduate students."

 

19- year-old graduating after first three Wyears in U. S.

Education: Madina Nigmatulina came from Kazakhstan
to Lexington to study; returning home after graduation

By John lampler
Worn ronon

When Madina Nigmatuli-
na started classes at LCC in
fall 2000. she was too young to
join the sorority she wanted
to be a part of. She was too
young to buy cigarettes. She
was almost too young to drive.

She was 16.

On May 10. less than
three weeks after turning 19.
Madina will receive her
diploma from UK. She spent
three years at LCC and UK.

That's all while keeping
her GPA above a 3.5. working
part time at Ovid‘s and per-

forming community service
projects with Zeta Phi Beta.
the sorority she would even
tually be old enough to join.

For the most part. being
so young and in college did-
n't faze Madina. a native of
Astana. Kazakhstan. a Cen-
tral Asian country that was
once part of the former Sovi-
et Union.

“I was fitting in well with
the college culture." she said.

Graduating a year early
from high school (in Kaza-
khstan students graduate at
17). Madina came to LCC.
where her older sister. Mali—
ka. who graduated UK last

December at the age of 18
was studying.

Their parents supported
their daughters‘ decisions to
graduate early and study in
the United States. but they
did not insist on it. Madina
said.

“They never pressured
us,“ she said.

Madina. a business man-
agement senior. said that
starting college at such a
young age didn't concern
her. “I was ready." she said.

In order to graduate so
quickly. Madina had to pile
on the hours. usually taking
18 or more a semester.

Last semester, she got
overrides to take a total of ‘24
credit hours.

Randy Perry. a lecturer
in UK's Gatton School of

 

 

Business has had Madina in
two of his classes. He said he
had no idea that she was so
young.

“She blended in quite
well." he said.

He added that a sign of
Madina‘s maturity was the
the fact that she carried her-
self in such a manner that
he did not suspect her age.

Madina‘s background
also helped her contribute to
the class. She talked about
political. financial and all
tural differences between the
United States and Kaza-
khstan. Perry said.

Madina chose to attend
UK because of the strong
reputation it had in her
country In the early 19908. an

While Madina is the only

chapter of Zeta Phi Beta. she
has met women of all races

Besides. she noted. “I'm a
tninority on this campus too."

In addition to her sorori-
ty sisters not caring about
her skin color. they also don't
care about her age.

"We don't think of her as
being young because she acts
so much older." O‘Neil said.

O'Neil said that the
sorority hadn't yet discussed
making a trip to Kazakhstan
in the future. but that it was a
good idea to consider.

When Madina spent last
summer in Kazakhstan. she
spoke to students at her old
high school.

She encouraged them to
study abroad for college. and
then return home once they
were done.

Madina said she hopes
she has been able to serve as
an inspiration.

“I want to be an example
to others to show what they
can achieve." she said.

As seniors prepare to
graduate and move on to
the world beyond college.
UK is planning its 2003
Commencement.

This year, though, things
are just a little different.

The 2003 commencement
will take place on a Saturday

“In the past. the gradua-
tion ceremonies were held
on a Sunday,“ said Cleo
Price, an associate registrar
at UK.

Even though the cere-
mony is being held at a dif-
ferent time, most students
do not seem to notice and
instead, are focused on
graduating.

“I’m busy getting my in-
vitations together," said
Sharice Smith, a journalism
senior.

The events surrounding
commencement are sched-
uled according to the acade-
mic calendar, said T. Lynn
Williamson, commencement
coordinator.

As is to be expected,
there is a lot of preparation
that goes into the com—
mencement.

For the Physical Plant
Department, planning starts

four to five weeks before the
event. said David Iwig. man-
ager of operations at the
plant.

“We have custodial and
grounds people to take care
of the maintenance for the
event,“ Iwig said. “We just
want everything to look
nice."

The maintenance con-
sists of getting the areas
looking as pleasing as pos—
sible. he said. These areas
include Memorial Colise-
um, where the main com-
mencement ceremony is,
and the places where the
colleges hold their own
commencements.

This includes the grassy
area between the Student
Center and the Singletary
Center, where the College of
Communications will have
its commencement.

“We get the campus in
shape for the event. and we
make sure the grass is nicely
cut," said Jerry Hart. a hor-
ticulturist at the Physical
Plant Division. “We rope off
the grass so that we can keep
it green."

Each college sends out
information to its graduates
concerning their respective
ceremonies.

For the main ceremony,

a Committee is appointed by
President Lee Todd. John
lierhst. the Student Services
Director. is the chair of the
committee. Williamson said.
"However, each individual
College has their own com~
mittee that plans specific
events." he said.

Commencement may
only last an hour. but some
of the planning begins five
months prior to the event.

“The months of Decem-
ber and January is what we
refer to as crunch time, and
in April everyone is busy,"
Williamson said. “The week
before the ceremony takes
place is when the various fa-
cilities are booked.“

Each college provides
graduates with tickets, and
different guest speakers are
appointed to each college.
Around 800 graduates are ex-
pected to attend the main
ceremony this year at Memo-
rial Coliseum.

Those who have been to
their college ceremonies say
those are an important part
of graduation too.

“The ceremony was very
important for me and was
definitely worth attending,"
said Faith Scott, a UK
alumna.

Job market tough for graduates

Would you like tries with that? Some graduates
hiding out in graduate school before entering market

By Nicole Foster

;\> graduation ap
proaches. some students
\\ ill smut face the daunting
task o! finding a job and
embarking on tlteir new ca-
l't‘t'l‘s

This could prove to be a
difficult t‘eat. considering
the cut rent economy and
job market that these stu-
dettts Will have to cope witlt
after they graduate.

“It's a very challenging
envrronment right now.“
said Eric Thompson. an as»
sociate professor and asso~
ciate director at the Center
for Business and Economic
Research. “Companies are
shedding employees. and
there is ittore competi-
tion "

More schooling is an
option for those hesitant
about entering the job mar-
ket. said Michael Desch. a
professor and associate di-
rector in the Patterson
School of Diplomacy and
lnternat ional Commerce.

“For many students.
graduate school looks very
attractive. and there is a na-

tionwide trend in that re:
spect." he said.

According to Depart-
ment of Institutional Re-
search. IYK's graduate
schools headcount rose
frotn 2.941 in 2001 to 3.045
itt 2002

Students can prepare
themselves for what lies
ahead. said professors and
staff tnetnbers

"Networking is very
important." said Sharon
Childs. a student affairs of-
ficer at the Career Center.
“Because the market is so
competitive. it is very im-
portant for students to
know people who are in po»
sitions that can aid them in
the future."

It is likely that stu-
dents‘ majors have effects
on their future successes
with today's market. many
said.

“I‘m in the education
field and I know that teach
ers are in great demand."
said Erica Lopez. a kinesi-
ology senior.

Others agreed.

“Jobs are tough to come
by these days. and it just is-
n't safe in the state service

or government sectors."
said (‘lifton Jones. a busi-
ness administration senior.

It is important that stu-
dents are prepared. and
they should be equipped
with the tools they will
need to find the jobs they
want. Desch said.

“Knowledge of foreign
languages and cultures.
such as Arabic and Chi»
nese. are definitely a plus
for students who are gradu-
ating." Desch said. "If you
have those skills you can
basically name your
price."

Above all.
tnust be realistic
what they are doing

“Students have to real—
ize that it can take awhile
to get a good job.” Thomp—
son said. “There has been a
net decline and the number
of new hires is lower."

Procrastination. more
so that the economy and job
market. can be one of the
largest problems in getting
a job after graduation.
Childs said.

“We have students that
come and go throughout
the semester.“ Childs said.
“About two weeks before
graduation most of them
are concerned about what
to do next. "

Students ready to relax after semester

By Leah Roth

CON'RIBUTING WRITER

As summer vacation ap~
proaches. students are devis-
ing the perfect plans for their
summer getaways. Miami.
California. Italy and Mexico
are just a few places where
UK students are heading this
summer.

According to travel
agency manager Tanya
Robinson. each year brings a
set of travel hot spots for col-
lege students.

This year some of the
vacation hot spots are Pen-
sacola beach. Miami. Orlan-

do. Chicago. New Orleans
and Europe.

“This year cruises have
also become very popular
among travelers." she said.
"Students are tnore prone to
travel shorter distance due to
the war."

A hard spring semester
is almost over and students
can't wait to hit the road.

Nate Cheeks. a finance
sophomore and a few of his
friends have been planning a
two week road trip to Califor‘

Returning to Kentucky.
UK‘s new chief of police said
having this job has always
been one of his goals.

Fred H. Otto Ill. chief of
police at the University of
Missouri-Columbia, will take
over as police chief July 1.

Originally from Fort
Thomas, Ky, Otto is a former
Kentucky State Trooper and
chief of police for Highland
Heights. Ky.

“He is a Kentuckian,"
said Ken Clevidence. associ-
ate vice president for campus
services. “He wanted desper-
ately to come back to Ken-
tucky because he wanted to
be closer to his family.“

He is succeeding Rebecca
Langston, who was appointed
Public Safety Commissioner
for the Lexington-Fayette Ur-

ban County Government on
Nov. 26. 2002.

Otto said he wants to fol-
low in Langston‘s footsteps.
developing more programs at
UK. As police chief. Langston
created an open-door policy
with other officers and the
public. and worked to get the
department new equipment
and cruisers.

Otto is interested in initi-
ating community-policing
programs. where one officer
would regularly work the
same area. he said.

“It‘s the people and police
working together to decrease
crime,“ Otto said.

Otto has worked at many
universities. He was assistant
director of public safety at
Miami University in Oxford.
Ohio. and director of public
safety at Northern Kentucky
University.

“Fred was very active in

student organizations." Clevi-
dence said. “Not to take any-
thing away from city police or
state police but it's a very
different atmosphere at a uni-
versity."

Ninetyone people applied
in the national search. which
began in January Seven were
interviewed. Clevidence
helped head the search.

"(Ott0) came across as
very, very strong." Clevidence
said. ”He came across as the
type of person who we want-
ed to take the police depart-
ment to a higher level."

Otto received his bache-
lor’s degree in police adminis-
tration and a master's in
criminal justice from Eastern
Kentucky University. He also
got a master's in public ad-
ministration from Xavier Uni-
versity, and he completed
training at the FBI National
Academy.

 

Finding the right cell phone plan isn't easy

By Lindsey Keith
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As the summer ap-
proaches, new friends may
soon have to part. Cell phone
plans with nationwide long
distance can help keep
friends talking through the
summer —~ for a price.

Searching for a cell
phone plan to fit specific
needs can be a daunting task.

Justine Everman. an un-
declared freshman, searched
a few months ago for the per-
fect plan for her.

“The number of minutes
and cost are the most impor-
tant features of a [cell phone]
plan," Everman said. She
added that being from Grand
Haven, Mich, she is thankful
to have nationwide long dis-
tance with her carrier.

Of five local long dis-
tance cell phone carriers.

most offer 250 to 600 minutes
for between $30 and $46.
Each carrier varies in prices.
and the plans offered have
different features.

For instance, Nextel of-
fers direct connect. which is a
two-way device that allows
users to connect directly with
other Nextel phones. and does
not count against anytime
minutes, which are the peak
minutes of phone use.
