Trustees: Salary freeze,
tuition hike could hurt
quality of education

By Julinnn Vachon

jvachon©kykernelcom

Stephanie NeC‘amp. a mechanical
engineering junior. said she is stuck.

The Ohio native is too far along
in her major to leave UK without
falling behind. so she must endure
the out-of—state tuition increase for
another year. she said.

“I help pay pan of my tuition. and
I was scrounging for funds this year."
NeCamp said. “But this late in the
game. I just can‘t afford to transfer."

NeCamp and other returning stu-
dents will see another jump in tuition

next year. President Lee Todd an-
nounced Tuesday that tuition will in-
crease 9 percent for in—state students
and (3.6 percent for out-of—state stu—
dents.

ln-state tuition at UK has in—
creased 156 percent in the last IO
years. Raising tuition 9 percent ——
the maximum rate allowed by the
state Council on Postsecondary Edu-
cation — will bring in-state tuition
for lower—division students to $7.735
per year. while out-of—state tuition
will increase to $15880.

To keep that increase a single
digit. the university is cutting costs
and expenses, including eliminating
faculty and staff salary increases for
non-hospital employees in 2008-09.

“Our first responsibility is to keep
costs for our students as low as possi-
ble, while maintaining the quality of

their educational experience.“ Todd
said in a campuswide e-mail Tuesday.
But many employees are con-
cerned that going a year without
salary raises will have a detrimental
effect that not only hurts them but
the quality of education at UK.
Ernie Yanarella. a faculty repre-
sentative on UK‘s Board of Trustees
and a political science professor. said
a year with no raises will create
many problems: Programs that meet
undergraduate needs will suffer. re-
cruiting top candidates for jobs will
become harder. top employees may
leave for higher paying jobs. and fac-
ulty and staff salaries will fall even
further behind other universities. As
of 2006. UK‘s average salary was
10.8 percent behind its benchmarks.
Faculty and staff pay raises. as

Beating the brace
'I I a: "

PROTOS BV ED MATTHEWS | STAFF

Former UK gymnast Ashley Armour a marketing senior runs between markers during her physical therapy session on Tuesday morning in the UK clinic.

Despite medical advances,
injuries remain a constant
hazard for college athletes

Br “@191th

kcolston®kykernelcom

The pain is unmistakable.

Balancing on one leg. Ashley
Armour looks straight ahead into a
mirror as she raises her right leg tip
and backward. Her eyes are focused.
but the fonner gymnast cannot help
but gn'mace as her left leg tremblcs
uncontrollably. That‘s just the start.

What was once a promising
gymnastics career was cut drastical-
ly short. In her entire four-year ca-
reer at UK. Armour competed in just
four meets. That was all during her
sophotnorc year - the only season
she did not start in a leg brace.

In a time when
athletes are bigger.
stronger and faster.
and when sports med-
icinc is more efficient
than ever. it would
seem unlikely that
athletes like Armour.
a marketing senior.
would continue to
sustain serious 'in-
juries.

But hundreds of
athletes do every
year. even with ad-
vances in rehabilita-
tion and sports medicine. And
many injuries are high-profile sto-
ries. bringing more attention to
athletes‘ susceptibility to injury.

While there seems to be a rise

"That's kind of
the goal. To be
normal after six
surgeries. But I
don't know what
normal is."

former UK gymnast

in athletic injuries. in reality there
is no rhyme or reason to high or
low injury counts each year. said
Jim Madalcno. director of sports
medicine for UK Athletics.

“The data supports the fact that
injuries are cyclical."
said. “You have good years and
bad years w that‘s the truth."

Not for Armour. though. Every
year has been a bad one.

She wakes up every day with
pain in both of her knees. Every
Tuesday and Friday morning. she
makes her way to the Kentucky
Clinic to rehab her latest knee in-
jury ~- her sixth in all.

Three tom anterior cruciate liga—
ments ~ one left. two
right _. and three
meniscus tears add up to
what Armour estimates
as four years in rehab.
And the pain has never
gone away. especially if
the forecast outside is
anything but sunny.

“The pain depends
on the day.“ Armour
said. “Some days it‘s
worse. Rainy days
mostly."

With no meniscus in
her right knee and fresh
off a January surgery to put the mus-
cle graph back into the same knee.
there is no doubt that Armour is
done as a gymnast. But at this point.
competition is not the priority — bc~

ing like everyone else is.

“That's kind of the goal." A
mour said. “To be normal after six
surgeries. But I don‘t know what
normal is."

Armour cannot run on a tread-
mill or over long distances. She
walks into a rehab room twice a
week just trying to get back to nor-
mal. The most recent rehab sessions
are to benefit her at an older age.
hopefully ensuring that she will be
able to walk well at age 60.

“I want to be able to walk
around everyday." she said. “And
get some athletic ability."

Armour is not a high-profile
athlete. Most people. if any. have
never heard of her. But people
have heard of the injuries on the
high~profile UK football and bas-
ketball teams. which is why Dr.
Timothy Uhl. an athletic trainer in
UK‘s College of Health Sciences.
believes injuries have gotten so

much publicity of late.

The issue surrounding injuries
is not about how many occur. Uhl
said. but to whom.

“I don't see that there‘s a big
change in the frequency in in-
juries." Uhl said. “There's an in—
creased emphasis depending on
who gets hurt. when they get hurt.
So when (former football wider
receiver) Keenan Burton gets hurt.
it‘s a bigger deal to a lot of people
than when a second-string guy on
the basketball team or football
team gets hurt.“

Gail Friedhoff. the physical
therapist who works with Armour.
said fatigue has a lot to do with the
frequency of injuries. Not just phys-
ical fatigue. but mental fatigue as
well. And in a manner similar to the
rich getting richer. Friedhoff said
that she does not see many injuries

SG restructures
funding for
student groups

By Katie Slltz
ksaltz@kykernel.com

Student organizations will have a new set of
rules when applying for Student Government
funding next year after an amendment to the Ap-
propriations Act passed in the last full Senate
meeting of the year last night.

The amendment was written in hopes of avoid-
ing the situation that SG encountered this year
when the Appropriations a2 Revenue Committee
ran out of money in February. allotting all 570.000
of its budget ta. student organizations. said Sen.
Mary Bossermai. cosponsor of the legislation.

“A lot of this It. . to do with action trying to
set us straight about in ”ring out of money." said
Bosserman. A&R vice~cl air,

The legislation makes three main changes.
Bosserman said. The first i-- that club sports
could only apply for a maximum grant of $500.
down from $1.000 this year. The ma\imum
amount of money available for General Funding
Grants remained at $500. and College Student
Council Grants and Service Grants remained at
$l .000. Senate Special Projects still have no
maximum amount.

Another adjustment was the elimination of
the word “diversity" in the Service and Diversity
grant. Now called Service Grant. Bosscrman said
this type of funding rcquest was changed because
it was difficult to interpret.

"One of the biggest problems we had was
trying to son out what is diversity and what is
not." Bosserman said. “This is not any effort to
rid SG of diversity."

For this past school year. student organizations
were eligible to apply for multiple types of grants.
The amendment now only allows groups to receive
funding from 50 once per year. whether in the forth
of a budget line-item or an A&R grant.

Sen. Kevin Parrott. chaimian of A&R.
cosponsored the legislation and said he spoke to
former SG members front the past 6 or 7 years.

Student miners

For many. the idea of replacing advanced ma-
chinery with manpower seems like a step back in
history. but for L'K‘s mucking team. that is exact
ly what they are looking to do.

The mucking team. which practices tradition-
al mining techniques. Will compete Saturday in
Rolla. Mo.. at the 30th annual lntcmational Inter-
collegiate Mining Competition. The event was
started in remembrance of Idaho‘s I972 Sunshine
Mine Disaster .-. where a fire killed 91 miners

have since lost their lives on the job.

The competition is made tip of seven events:
jackleg drilling. Swede sawing. gold panning.
hand steel drilling. hand mucking. track standing
and surveying. And the best overall wins.

“It‘s about the honor — bragging rights. that‘s a
lot for miners." said Joshua Hoffman. a mining en—
gincenng graduate student competing as a surveyor.

UK made its first appearance in 2007 with
two teams. a co—ed team that tied for second. and
a men's team that finished seycnth out of I7.
When the mucking team realized that this year's
competition would fall on the same weekend as

MIAMI — Cedella Marley
Booker. mother of late reggae
icon Bob Marley. died Tuesday
night at her South Florida home
after a long illness. She was 81.

Booker was surrounded by
loved ones inside her home and
was said to be “happy." accord»
ing to a report on CBS4.com.

Booker's grandson. Ky-Mani
Marley. an accomplished musi-
cian himself. told The Miami
Herald she “has always been a
very loving. caring and support»
ing person in my life. She was
always there to help me — even
when I didn't ask for help. she
knew I needed help. She had that
instinct to know when things
were wrong and had the courage

to fix it."

Marley said the family was
fortunate to be by Booker‘s side.

“We all live very close by.
really just blocks away. so we
were all in the vicinity." he said.

And though Booker had
been struggling recently. her
death still came as somewhat of
a shock. her grandson said.

“We knew she was sick. and
she'd keep fighting and pulling
through." he said. “So it was ex-
pected but unexpected. It‘s a
great loss."

Booker was best-known for
her famous son. but she was also
an author and musician.

Between spring training. rehearsals and
classes, Jarmon said this semester has been
a real balancing act for him. He is on track
to graduate this fall, and said he was offered

a summer intemship with the FBI.

St. Peter was enthusias-

“So trying to balance that out. getting all

everything for that, with practice as well as
with play rehearsals. it‘s been a very diffi-

But that has not stopped Jarmon from

immersing himself in the role.

"He‘s committed himself to the show."

The maestros of myths: Show tests myth that education can’t be fun

Mick Bentley

McClatchy Newspapers

SAN FRANCISCO “Myth-
Busters" shouldn‘t be the cable phe~
nomenon it has become.

The hosts of the Discovery Channel
series constantly bicker. Educational
material often gets abruptly inserted in
the middle of moments of entertain-
ment. The cable show. produced by 25
people in a strip mall workshop and not
on a fancy set. is based hundreds of
miles from the TV center hub of Holly»
wood.

And almost every episode ends
with a big explosion. Literally.

There is jiist no way this show
should be such a monster hit.

But it is.

Hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam
Savage are such big cable stars that
tickets for a lecture stop in Fresno.
Calif. on Feb. l2 sold out faster than a
recent Hannah Montana concert. Fans
of all ages and genders turn to the
myth-busting duo for a weekly fix of
science. silliness and sensational
stunts.

On a March afternoon. Savage is
busy with a 3—foot-long metal rod. a
variable—speed drill and red string. He
can‘t hide the “it‘s—always-Christmas-
Day" enthusiasm on his face as he
works on his latest contraption: a de»
vice to simulate how' an injured fish
acts in the water. It is for a myth to be
explored in an episode to air on the ca-
ble channel's “Shark Week” this stirri—
mcr.

The “Shark Week" episodes will be
filmed in the Bahamas. A few weeks
earlier. the team was in Alaska to ex-
amine myths associated with the far
north. The last new episode. which
aired Feb. 20. was thc show ‘s l(l(lth. A
new batch of original episodes will be—
gin airing in July. and the crew is
preparing those shows now.

Savage sports a black Tishirt. It
reads "I know. I know ~» Jamie is al-
ways right?"

Sincc “MythBusters" launched in
2003. they have traded theories and
verbal jabs for HR) episodes. Hyneman
busts one big myth about the show.

"We are not friends. We don‘t hang
out together. In fact. (Sanaget annoys
me." says Hyneman as he works on a
project in a connecting room.

The banter both personal and
scientific 1- between the two is part of
the show‘s appeal. Hyneman and Sav-
age are to science shows what Roger
Ebert and Gene Siskcl were to film crit-
icism. They are two guys who end up
disagreeing more than seeing cye~io—
eye.

A test dummy sits on the floor of the M7 Mythbuster workshop in San Francisco, Feb 29, 2008.

Where they're in harmony is how
to bust myths.

“Every time we build something.
we learn it is always best to simplify.
simplify. simplify. One of us will al«
ways say. ‘This seems too complex.
What about this?” Savage says. “Often
one of us will have an idea we know is
down the right path. Between talking
back and forth. it will get simpler and
simpler."

How simple is simple? It took Sav—
age about four minutes to put together
the rod and power drill project.

That simplicity. the pair agree. is a
reason the show is popular. It‘s easy for
an average viewer to see exactly what
they have concocted. Savage calls it the
"transparent" effect.

Hyneman has joined Savage to re«
fine the fish gadget. The hosts are
physical opposites. Hyneman sports a
mustache that would make Yosemite
Sam proud. A beret covers his bald
head.

Savage is shorter and. depending on
which rerun of the show you are watch—
ing. wears a heard or is clean-shaven.

Behind them are walls covered with
items from the 800 commercials Hyne—
man has worked on and the many fea—
