State Senate passes budget boosting UK’s top-20 goal

House expected to 0K budget today; Senate leader says
how UK handles funds will determine future monies

By Sean Rose
THE KENTUCKY kERNEL

FRANKFORT — The Kentucky
Senate unanimously passed a joint
budget last night that would give
UK enough general funding to keep
a 2007-08 tuition increase in the sin-
gle digits and fully pay for several
of UK’s major construction pro-
jects.

The House of Representatives is
expected to approve the budget to-
day, legislators said. After that, Gov.
Ernie Fletcher must approve it.

Sen. Ernesto Scorsone, D-Lex-
ington, said he doesn‘t anticipate

UK losing any of the funding that
passed in the Senate when it goes
before House vote tomorrow.

“I don’t think there’s any dan-
ger of losing anything from the
conference committee,” Scorsone
said.

Rep. Kathy Stein, D-Lexington,
said she expected the House to mir-
ror the 38-0 Senate vote that ap~
proved the budget late last night.

“I doubt very seriously there
will be anyone who will vote
against it,” Stein said. “It’s all and
all a very good budget. For the most
part it’s a budget that moves Ken—
tucky forward."

Alice Forgy Kerr, R-Lexington,

' said UK’s share in the budget was

“our shining moment.”

“If we want UK to be a top-20
school we need to make these types
of commitments,” she said.

The conference committee,
made up of House and Senate lead-
ers who collaborate to iron out dif-
ferences between each group’s ver-
sions of the budget, made the final
budget proposal April 1. The com-
mittee added several projects such
as continued renovations of Blazer
Hall Cafeteria, the construction of
a diagnostics lab for UK’s Cold
Stream facility and an update of
Keeneland Hall’s air conditioning
and heating systems.

“I think the biggest addition in
the conference committee were
those two hall renovations and the

diagnostics lab,” Scorsone said.
“Overall, I’d say the budget is a big
plus for the university.”

Fletcher offered UK $11 million
over two years in additional fund-
ing in his version of the budget in
January —— far less than the rough-
ly $36 million increase in general
operating funds that UK requested
as part of the Top20 Business Plan
over that same time frame.

The House proposed giving UK
$14 million, close to the Council on
Postsecondary Education suggest-
ed. in its version in early last
month, and the Senate gave UK
$17.7 million in its version later in
March.

Stein said she’s confident that
the state would see results from UK
because of the increased funding
and that those results would be the

3 budget is a big

versity I think
we're thankful."

biggest determiner in future fund-
ing from the state.

“We’ve never really fully funded

that included a mandate for UK to

tion by 2020. “Every budget is dif-

The Kentucky Coalition for Compre-

The organization is part of a national

“(Today), the Senate is voting on im-

show politicians that the people feel
strongly about this issue."

The Kentucky coalition spent the

Students, candidates
seek solutions for
underage drinking

By Sean Evans
m: KENTUCKY ma

Yesterday’s town-hall-style meeting with Lexington’s
mayoral candidates focused on a topic whose ramifications
UK is all too familiar with: underage drinking.

Just before the start of this school year and last school
year. an underage UK student died due to decisions made
while intoxicated. In August 2004. Mike Muth‘s son, Brian.
ran onto New Circle Road and was hit by a semi. This past

August, UK track athlete Thomas
Byers III ran from UK police and
died while trying to beat a train
across the tracks near the Virginia
Avenue bridge.

During a question session for in-
cumbent Mayor Teresa Isaac and
challengers Bill Farmer Jr. and Jim
Newberry. Muth pointed out that
many students hear all the warn~
ings of underage drinking. but none
of it hits home until a usually tragic
accident occurs.

"It's that thing that ‘It‘ll never
happen to me‘ — but it does." Muth
said.

“You have to present them like adults, give them all the
information and let them decide," he said. “This group.
given the right information, will make good decisions."

About 40 local high school students attended the meet-
ing, along with parents and other members of the Lexing-
ton community yesterday morning at the Fayette County

candidates responded to questions
about underage drinking and its pre
vention. including inquiries about
lowering the legal drinking age and
future community responses to un.
derage drinking incidents.

When asked what he plans to do
in the future. Farmer said he plans
to “reach out to schools and build re
lationships.“

Isaac. the incumbent. said she
has been working in Lexington‘s
schools and trying to teach parents
to lead by example. She said that she
meets with UK President Lee Todd

to discuss programs on alcohol awareness for the fraterniv
ties and sororities. but she wants UK to realize "that all
students are still their responsibility. whether they are on

campus or off."

Newberry said he would like to make more out of the
Mayor's Alliance on Substance Abuse and continue to ad
dress the “alarming issues“ that face young adults today.

The meeting wasn‘t all about the candidates. though.
After about an hour of candidates fielding questions. the
audience was split up into six groups. combining both
adults and students, to address some of the issues of un-

derage drinking.

It’s brought them so much

lege education.

“These are important is-
sues that affect each one of
us,” Rock said. “These people
are working hard. People who
stand up against this reform
do not understand the legal
system and are not willing to
recognize the contributions of
this group.”

There were a few demon-
strators in the courthouse
plaza who disagreed with the
“balanced bill” proposed by
Rock and the Kentucky re
form coalition.

‘This is a complicated is-
sue that not everyone here un-
derstands,” Frank Jenkins.
Lexington attorney said. “I’m
not saying I’m not for equality
but these people are here to
day without knowing any-
thing about the real immigra-
tion debate. It is not about the

immigrants, but the fact that
so many refuse to become citi-
zens and take the responsibili-
ties that oome with that title."

UK students from the col-
lege of education and English
majors were present to show
their support for legislation
that will help in the further
the education of children of
illegal immigrants.

“All children deserve the
right to get a good education
and learn English so that they
will have a proper place in our
society.” said English major
Jenny Simpson.

“Without immigrants this
nation could not function. I
think so many people are for-
getting that."

The Sensenbrenner Bill
would make it a felony to
cross the US. border illegally
and would also make it a mis-
demeanor crime for an Ameri-
can citizen to assist an illegal
immigrant once they are in
the country

“A lot of UK students help
teach English to immigrants.
some of which are not consid-
ered to be legal.” said English
senior Mandy Gatewood.

“That means that just by
teaching these people. we
could be charged with a mis-
demeanor.

“It is those kinds of
threats that discourage people
from wanting to help these im-
migrants.”

Several students from the
UK LatinoAmerican Student
Organization went to the rally,
but not as representatives of
that group, said faculty advis-
er Noemi Lugo.

“I went to the rally today
representing myself,” she
said. “This is an issue that I
personally feel strongly
about."

Gatewood said the rally
was “inspiring" to watch.

“Some of these people
were missing work at their
low-paying jobs to be there.
Seeing their presence really
showed where their priorities
are. Many are illegal aliens
who were risking deportation
by showing up, but it was im-
portant to them. That makes it
important to me."

“We work, work hard. We
pay taxes.” Tekle said. “We
need help, not to kick us out.”

The rallies were the culmi-
nation of a growing immi-
grant-rights movement that
began last month in response
to legislation passed in De
cember by the House of Rep
resentatives that would make
it a felony both to be in the
United States without a valid
visa or to aid anyone who was.

Some rallies in recent
weeks appeared to backfire,
with Republican lawmakers
and others complaining that
marchers carried more Mexi-
can flags than American, sug-
gesting that they did not want
to integrate into US. society

By contrast, organizers of
Monday‘s demonstrations ap
peared to make special efforts
— reciting the Pledge of Alle-
giance and discouraging
marchers from carrying flags
from other countries, for ex-
ample — to send the message
that immigrants want to be
Americans.

ter and parents. all wearing T-
shirts she had made: a

grims reading “Your ances-

“They have to give us our

that while she and her sister
are citizens, her parents. from
Peru, are not.

“I'm legal.“ said 36-year
old Flor Villazoro. “But if 1 try

papers. I’m a criminal," Villa-
zoro said. “For years I was
very quiet »— only work and

Drinking

“The goal with this is to
bring youth and adults togeth-
er, to increase awareness and
to motivate them to take ac-
tion in the community" said
Marilyn Rodgers, main coor-
dinator for the meeting.

“The biggest misconcep
tion is that all kids drink,
that's not the case," she said.
“However, adults need to
come together and do more
than talk about it.

Overall. the six groups

created about eight ideas that
could alleviate the pressures
of underage drinking. One
idea involved starting up a
place for teens to go at night,
like a dance club specifically
targeting high school stu-
dents between the ages of 16
and 18. Having more options
like this could keep them
from getting into situations
where drinking might come
up and be a temptation, group
members said.

Statistics given out at the
forum raised some eyebrows.
According to a flier handed
out before the meeting. 65 per-
cent of parents surveyed felt
it would be very wrong for

youth to drink alcohol. Seven-
teen percent of 12th grade
students and 11 percent of
10th grade students said their
parents would feel it is either
“a little bit wrong" or “not
wrong at all“ to drink alcohol
regularly
“I have a lot of friends
who drink.“ said Janet Luo. a
junior at Henry Clay High
School and a D.A.R.E. role
model. “Coming back from
spring break I heard stories
about them getting drunk.
“It’s hard when I have to
stand up and be the one that
doesn‘t do that."

WHAT'STHEDEAL? I Demystifying campus trends

Over-zealous police spoil
otherwise fun day at races

. Have you ever wondered
why there are numerous
port-a-potties placed around
the parking lot area of

' Keeneland racetrack?

In an article last semes-
ter. I touched on the presence
of the Gestapo-like law en-
forcement that had been so

a d a m a n t

about crack-

ing down on

“tailgating“

in the general

vicinity of
the racetrack.

Well, ladies

and gentle-

men, let’s all
stop and take

 

Kenny a minute to
Molar give the local

authorities a
nice round of
applause and
welcome them back to our
immortal party scene.

It seems a little ironic to
me for Keeneland to keep
“outhouses” readily avail-
able for tailgaters to use at
will. and in theory, all the
while giving anyone a good
reason to just keep the party
outside. Smart plan, if the
idea is to attract patrons to
pay the admission fee and ac-
tually come inside to watch a
few races.

What was going to be a
“Wild-On Kentucky:
Keeneland" article this week
quickly turned into just the
opposite after I realized the
“mad-cop disease" that we
discussed last fall has not
been entirely eradicated of,
therefore diminishing the
amounts of fun that could be.
The disease has a wide vari-
ety of symptoms. including
increasing notice of tailgate
busts, but this weekend I dis-
covered what appears to be a
new strand: selective law en-
forcement.

It doesn‘t take a rocket

KERNEL COLUMNIST

scientist to figure out that.
yes, at the racetrack. lots of
people are under the influ-
ence of alcohol. But most are
still making honest efforts to
enter the gates and spend
some money. The only prob-
lem I can imagine is that
Keeneland doesn't want any-
one just loitering around
their property all day with
no intention of going inside
and donating their college
money to the racing commis-
sion. It’s all a simple theory
of economics. If a student is
inside the gates and seeming-
ly spending money on what-
ever, then it almost becomes
a safe place to drink because
Keeneland’s profits are grow-
ing. But, if you chill in the
parking lot to relax and enjoy
the crowd-less area, it’s time
to beware, regardless if there
are no signs that say drink-

ing is prohibited on
Keeneland property.
So, what‘s this new

strand of “mad-cop disease”
all about? Think about this
for a second: What if the po-
lice force began to really
crack down on underage
drinking inside Keeneland,
in a similar fashion as the
avid tailgating regulations?
Could the bartenders lose
their jobs? Could Keeneland
lose its liquor license? Point
being. no one wants to even
toy with the thought of that.
so the police enforcement is
placed in another selected
area: in this case. the tailgat-
ing zone. Even more, there
seems to be a strong empha-
sis
