Student Govemment hosted a

Music has often been used as a
fortn of therapy. and this therapy will
soon become a career path at UK after
the Board of Trustees approved a
pledge to create a new graduate de»
gree program in the UK School of
Music.

At a meeting Tuesday. the Board
approved the Lucille Caudill Little
Foundation‘s pledge of $3 million for
the creation of the state's first graduate
degree program in music therapy.

This award will help students be-

The program has been in the
works on and off for 20 years. Amold
said.

"The proposal would come up on
the table every few years or so and be
shut down." Arnold said. “The time
has come. and I‘m elated. UK is a uni-

Australia is far beyond the limits of
UK's campus. but that did not stop
marketing junior Michael (‘olosimo
from studying there for fotrr months.

“It was the most positive and
unique experience of my college career
and I wouldn't trade it for anything."
said Colosimo.

Students who are looking for an
experience like Colosimo‘s cart get a
taste of international cttlture Wednes-
day as the third annual Education
Abroad Fair takes place on campus.

The fair will run frorn 10:30 am, to
3:30 pm. on the walkway between the
WT Young Library and Rose Street.
Activities include free lunch and live
music. and students who have previous—
ly studied abroad. as well as intema-
tional students currently studying at
UK. talkingabout their experiences.

Representatives from more than 25
programs all over the world will pass
out material and offer consultation to
students about studying abroad. said
Janet Roccanova. director of Education

2008

sistant Provost Richard Greissman.

The USP curriculum was made
in the 1980s and was good back
then. Carvalho said. but the current
program does not have relevant is-
sues that prepare students for the fu-
ture. .

The proposal for the new pro—
gram would implement a lO-class.
30-credit USP requirement. C un‘ent-
ly there is a 45-credit requirement. It
also includes four areas of study.
where as now there are nine.

These four areas would be intel-
lectual inquiry. communication. quan—
titative reasoning and citizenship.

In a presentation. Carvalho said

intellectual inquiry would be similar
to a humanities or social science
course. The classes would focus on
problem solving and using multiple
complex answers. she said.

The communication requirement
would differ by bringing more of an
oral communication component to
the curriculum.

Quantitative reasoning would
implement mathematical statistics
that can be used in everyday life. Lee
said this class would teach how to
solve real problems like how to pay
a mortgage or interpret statistics.

Citizenship would replace the
cross-cultural requirement. accord—

ing to the presentation. These class—
es would teach concepts like civic
engagement and cross-national
comparative issues.

Some students were concerned
that this curriculum could be too spe-
cialized and that students would not
get a university—wide experience.

Alan Walters. an accounting
freshman. said he attended the fo—
rum to get an idea of what changes
might be made.

“I came out to see what kind of
classes will be offered in the new
curriculum." said Walters. "I wanted
to see if it would be harder and just
to get some information."

The proposal will be presented
to the University Senate in Novem—
ber. it passed. it would be imple-
mented around 2010. Although
these courses will be offered to cur-
rent UK students. it will in no way
affect their USP requirements.

C arvalho said she felt the forum
was a success and was very happy
with the tumout and sincerity of the
questions asked. Greissman said the
student input from the forum added
to the discussion of the proposal.

"We heard new questions from
students that we haven’t heard from
faculty in 30 meetings.“ said Greiss-
man.

Relax. sit still and breathe

deeply: a pretty basic concept.

Still. meditation is more diffi-
cult than it seems. said Ryan Mur-

rell.

Maxwell Street in September. The
center offers introductory lessons
to meditation. like the one Murrell
took. as well as free meditation
sessions on Saturdays and classes
on Shambhala thought and prac-
tice.

“For me. the first time 1 medi-
tated was intense. I was like. 'Oh
my gosh. I‘ve been sitting here for
hours.” said Murrell. a political
science junior. “I didn‘t realize
how it had impacted tne until I got
home."

Murrell said he felt relaxed af-
ter he began meditation at the
Shambhala Center on West

founded in the late 1970s based on
the basic concepts of Buddhism—
derived Shambhala -. treat others
with kindness and liyc contempla—
tively said center founder
William Gordon. a former UK
professor.

“The point is to use your mind
to its full capacity." said 86-year-
old Gordon. who still meditates at

the center at least once a week.
"Discover your mind —— what is
my mind and how do l use it?"

Like traditional Tibetan-Bud-
dhist practice. Shambhala focuses
on the discovery of an “awakened
mind" capable of escaping suffer-
ing by understanding why things
happen and behaving ethically.

However. Shambhala empha-
sizes applying Buddhist thought to
modem-day activities. said center
director Joseph Fiala.

Shambhala is a good fit for
Westemers because it can be inte—
grated into everyday activities
such as work or class. Fiala said.
Meditation. a key component in

Shambhala. helps those who prac-
tice to focus better on the moment
they are in instead of worrying
about other things. he said.

For instance. Fiala counseled
an amateur pool player three or
four months ago who could not
focus on the final shot. After half
an hour of meditation a day. the
player was able to concentrate and
shoot at the end of games.

Students who want to try med—
itation do not have to be Buddhist
or know exactly what Shambhala
is. Fiala said. They also do not
need to adhere to a particular reli—

Age is not a factor for Kathy
Stein in her race to win a seat in
the Kentucky Senate.

“I‘m not bad for a Slyear—

The gist‘.’ Conrad had se-

source. whom she has often
criticized as an unwashed

ago. She hooked up with him
solely to hurt Audrina. no

Postal Service table.

“We wanted to offer a one-stop shop-
ping experience for students interested in
studying abroad." said Roccanova. “Our
goal is to get every student to consider ed-
ucation abroad.“

President Lee Todd said in an e-mail
that he has supported education abroad
since the beginning of his presidency by
allocating funds for scholarships for the
program.

“UK cannot be a top-20 public univer-
sity without being a global university.“
Todd said in the e-mail. “I think intema-
tional study absolutely completes the un-
dergraduate experience."

All full—time. degree-seeking UK stu-
dents who have completed at least 30 under-
graduate hours and at least one full semester
at UK may participate in study abroad. said
Roccanova. as long as they are in good aca-
demic and disciplinary standing.

The fair is free. and open to all stu-

“It’s talking about very basic principles
about people." Fiala said. "It‘s talking about a
world that's more complete, more aware."

People can walk into the center from 4 to
7 pm. Monday through Friday. to meditate on
their own for free. The Café Shambhala. a
free session that mixes meditation sessions
and social interaction. is on Saturdays from 9
am. to noon.

Students in the Saturday meditation ses-
sion sit in a small room on the first floor of
the two-story West Maxwell building. Facing
a group leader. they sit on pillows with their
legs crossed. backs straight and eyes cast to-
ward the floor.

During the session, the leader reads pas-
sages from a Buddhist work for those meditat—
ing to contemplate. The group. usually be—
tween 10 and 15 people, also sits in silence
for a portion of the morning meditation time.

Meditation sessions make assistant com-
munications professor Caroline Rankin feel
like she has more patience in her classroom
and' with her research. she said while attend—
ing Café Shambhala.

“l was trying to deal with (stress) on my
own. and I didn‘t feel like I was successful."
she said. “So I could come here on a Saturday
morning and it was a really great resource
for helping me along.“

affordability." Ellinger said.

Another important issue for Ellinger is
health care. While he does not support uni-
versal health care. Ellinger said he is a propo-
nent of making it more affordable and acces—
sible. He said preventive measures and
lifestyle changes can go a long way in ex—
panding health care.

“Most small businesses don‘t get a lot of
breaks. We can all come together to take ad—
vantage of what big corporations get. such as
tax breaks.“ Ellinger said.

Ellinger said Kentucky's current status as
one of the most obese states in the country. as
well as having 15 percent of citizens unin-
sured. are things he wants to change.

“I‘m tired of Kentucky being in the bot-
tom five in everything. I want to move to the
top five."

Unemployment and economic issues are
also important to Ellinger. who said he hopes
to serve on the economic development com-
mittee in the Senate.

Economic development and creating jobs
are also important for a successful economy.
said Ellinger.

Other top issues include immigration re-
form. public safety and a fight against tax in-
creases. according to literature released by
Ellinger‘s campaign.

Ellinger said his positron on the city coun»
cil has prepared him to be a state senator.

“My leadership and ability to work with
both parties is something I‘ll bring to the dis-
trict." Ellinger said.

The contested Senate seat was previously
held by Emesto Scorsonc. a Democrat. Until
recently. Stein was considered a clear fa-
vorite. with campaign polls favoring her 55
percent to 33 percent. according to the Her—
ald-Leader‘s Web site.

However. the move from ninth place to
seventh in the list of most interesting races
has Ellinger's campaign hoping for an upset.

“I classify myself as a moderate. My
ideas are not Republican ideas or Democrat
ideas. I call them common sense ideas to
make Frankfort better." Ellinger said.

to be more responsible about funding." she
said.

“Education is the key. I believe. And it
is underfunded." Stein said.

Raising tobacco taxes is a solution
with multiple benefits. she said. by raising
revenue and discouraging behavior such as
smoking.

“Taxes on cigarettes would do great
things." Stein said. “One. it raises needed
revenue immediately. And two. it can di-
minish smoke-related diseases."

Stein was asked what she would do for
tobacco farmers if taxes on tobacco prod-
ucts were raised. She noted that tobacco is
now used for many purposes such as med-
ical experiments.

“Our farmers are recognizing that we
can continue to use tobacco. but not as
something that will hurt us." Stein said.

She said one of her greatest accom~
