Gillispie, UK reach settlement worth nearly $3 million By Ben Jones and Katie Saltz sports@kykernel.com
Former UK men’s basketball head coach Billy Gillispie and UK have reached a $3 million settlement to resolve two lawsuits regarding Gillispie’s buyout, according to a news release. Gillispie will receive $2,984,536.09 in the settlement. Gillispie had sued for $6 million, which he claimed was owed to him after being on fired on March 27. UK is also required to pay Gillispie’s attorney and mediation fees totaling more than $265,462.
The university is responsible for its own attorney fees and must complete all payments to Gillispie within 15 days of the agreement. In the settlement, Gillispie agreed to a non-disparagement clause stating he would in no way make any derogatory or detrimental comments about the university. He also agreed to a covenant not to sue or bring any other lawsuit against UK at any time for any reason. Gillispie sued UK on May 27 on the grounds that he was owed $1.5 million for each of the four years left on his memorandum of understanding. In a news conference held
Former UK men’s basketball head coach Billy Gillispie will receive about $3 million after settling his contract lawsuit with UK.
March 27, UK President Lee Todd said Gillispie was fired for not fulfilling the expectations of a UK head coach. “There was a lack of understanding that this job is more than games and recruiting,” Todd said. “You have to be an ambassador to this program and university.” Students had mixed reactions to news of the settlement. Undeclared freshman George Barnes said he was just glad to see the ordeal come to an end. “I’m relieved it’s over but I don’t feel like he should have gotten See Gillispie on page 6

Solar house currently 13th in competition
STOPPING THE VIRUS
By Katie Perkowski kperkowski@kykernel.com
With about three days left and 20 teams in the solar decathlon, UK’s S-KY BLUE house is in 13th place overall. The solar-powered “BLUE” house is a combination of man-made and natural energy sources, which inhabitants can control to maintain desired living conditions, according to its Web site. Josh Duddey, an architecture graduate student, has been working on the project for more than a year and said the team deserves better than their current place in the standings. “I feel that our concepts when building it made it better than a 13th-placed house … it was very disappointing to find that out,” Duddey said. Jeffrey Kellow, a biosystems and agricultural engineering graduate student, said a lot of people have been impressed with the house. “It’s been really exciting to see it Essentially they just physically come together and see it want to show people in its entirety … and be able to op- that you’re not making erate all the systems together,” sacrifices to live in one Kellow said. of these homes.

The team had to rewire and replace a part but is recovering well. “We’re optimistic about things,” Kellow said. Kellow said the biggest part of the competition is the net metering, which indicates whether a house has been able to produce more energy than what it consumes. UK’s team has achieved its net metering and will continue to be monitored until the end of the contest. The decathlon homes are judged in ten categories: engineering, hot water, architecture, market viability, communications, lighting design, comfort, appliances, energy balance and home entertainment. “Essentially they just want to show people that

The H1N1 vaccination has finally made its way to Lexington. The first batch of 2009 H1N1 Influenza vaccinations arrived at the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department on Tuesday. The batch included 3,000 doses, which will be administered to health care workers first, said LFCHD communications officer Kevin Hall. Hall said the LFCHD is working with more than 100 Lexington clinics and hospitals, including UK Hospital. Vaccinations will be distributed to clinics and hospitals, where they will be given to health care workers. The vaccine, which is admin-
istered to recipients through both nostrils, contains the live virus and is available to healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49, Hall said. Dr. Chris Nelson, associate professor of pediatrics specializing in infectious diseases, said UK’s head pharmacist picked up 200 doses of the intranasal vaccine Tuesday morning. “These will be targeted at health care workers at UK through a prioritization plan that we are finalizing,” Nelson said in an email to the Kernel. Hall said the leftover vaccines will be administered to target groups such as pregnant women and young children. The vaccines are not yet available to the public.

From Cambodia to Kentucky, university professors are always helping each other. Anne Mareck, the UK Writing Program associate director, was contacted by a professor on a mission to rebuild a generation of scholars. Mareck said Jeanette Coufal, a curriculum and development specialist at Forman Christian College in Lahore, Pakistan, contacted the UK Writing Program for ideas about how to teach composition. Mareck said she invited Coufal to talk about teaching students to write. They met on Aug. 4, and at that time, Mareck learned of Coufal’s mission. Mareck learned Coufal was seeking assistance from the UK Writing Program because she was looking to re-
build a lost generation of Cambodian intellectuals. The Khmer Rouge, a Cambodian Communist wave of violence led by dictator Pol Pot from 1975-79, murdered approximately 2 million Cambodians—about 21 percent of the national population. The massacre specifically targeted scholars, who were seen as subversives, effectively eliminating Cambodia’s knowledge base. When Coufal received a Fulbright professorship to the Royal University of Phnom Penh in Cambodia, she was surprised she would teach English composition to graduate students. Coufal told Mareck Cambodian universities have never fully recovered from the Pol Pot massacres and her Fulbright professorship is an attempt to train a new generation of scholars in hopes of enriching the Cambodian higher education environment.
First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
Upon traveling to UK to learn more about writing composition, Coufal carried $1,000 to purchase textbooks to bring back to Cambodia. However, Mareck knew Coufal’s budget would be insufficient for the books she needed. Mareck contacted the program’s Bedford/St. Martin’s book representative, Cindy Hall, for financial assistance. Hall immediately asked her supervisors to donate textbooks to Coufal’s mission “It was just the right things to do,” Hall said. “They needed good textbooks and they had such a paltry budget.” On Coufal’s behalf, Bedford/St. Martin’s donated 80 textbooks and 13 personal teaching guides, worth more than $3,500. Mareck said Coufal was thrilled that her $1,000 could now be spent on other educational costs for her students.

Inside Dave’s secret life After an extortion plot forces Letterman to come clean, details about his sexual past come back to haunt him. Former staffers of the Late Show With David Letterman agree on one thing about their old boss: -Perhaps only Barack Obamais more tightly guarded. “When he walks through the building, he has the hallways cleared,” one source tells Us of the Indiana-born latenight host’s preshow behavior. Adds another, “If you do get to stand in a hallway, you’re not supposed to make any eye contact with him.” Then there’s his glass-enclosed password—protected private office area patrolled by his five female underlings. “Only his assistants worked back there and wouldn’t let anyone in not even to deliver food,” says another ex-employee. “It’s like a -secret society.” By now, it’s clear who was on the membership list. Almost immediately after Letterman, 62, revealed in a bizarrely folksyOctober 1 monologue that he was a victim of a $2 million extortion plot stemming from his liaisons with female staffers, the identities of some of those women have surfaced. At the forefront: his 34year-old former personal assistant and droll correspondent Stephanie Birkitt. On October 2, her ex-boyfriend, 48 Hours Mystery producer -Robert “Joe” Halderman, 52, pleaded not guilty to grand larceny for attempting to shake down Letterman. Multiple sources confirm to Us that the reclusive Letterman - who apologized to his wife, onetime -employee Regina Lasko, 48, and his staff on-air October 5 -
-carefully -constructed a workplace where he felt free to choose from female staffers, ranging from lowly interns to respected writers. To some, the staff even seemed cut from the same wholesome Midwestern cloth as the boss. “I noticed they all had an average, allAmerican look,” says an alum. The affairs were so numerous and overlapping, the New York Post reported he wooed them in an in-house “love nest” complete with foldout couch. (A Letterman pal counters that, like many people, he has a couch in his office.)
Lothario Ways A media mogul worth $400 million, Letterman is no newcomer to office romance. His relationship with Lasko dates back to 1986, when she was a writer on his NBC late-night show. (They wed in March 2009; their son, -Harry, is 5.) Before that, he dated writer Merrill Markoe, 61, who joked on her blog October 2, “Dave promised me many times that I was the only woman he would -ever cheat on.” And former intern Holly Hester told TMZ of a secret, yearlong affair in the early 1990s, saying, “I was madly in love with him.” Birkitt was among his recent favorites. A Late Show intern while a junior at Wake Forest College in 1996, she returned to his staff a few years later to help out with his charities and run errands. After a chance on-air appearance, Letterman was so impressed with her, she became a show staple and mini celeb. Somewhere along the way, the host, who nicknamed her “Smitty,” became smitten.

Senior linebacker Micah Johnson, left, and sophomore linebacker Danny Trevathan have helped their position group be one of the strongest on the team.
Breaking the mold: Sophomore to shine once cast is off By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
The cast will come off. Sophomore linebacker Danny Trevathan, who has been playing much of the season with a cast on his right arm after fracturing a bone in his wrist, expects to take his play to another level — and another role on the team — once the cast is removed this week or next week. “I’ll be back there returning kicks,” Trevathan said. Returning kicks and punts is an unusual proposition for most linebackers, but not for one with the speed of Trevathan, who ranks fifth on the team with 25 tackles. The Cats (2-3, 0-3 Southeastern Conference) got a glimpse of Trevathan’s speed in the Blue/White game last spring when he had a 31-yard kick return along with 11 tackles. His development into a solid full-time player is one reason why UK’s linebacker corps has exceeded expectations thus far in 2009. Questions surrounded the position group as Trevathan joined senior Sam Maxwell as the starting outside linebackers, because they held only one career start between them before the season. Even though all three starting linebackers have battled nagging injuries to this point, UK linebackers coach Chuck Smith is pleased with the way they’ve played. It isn’t any surprise to him they have come through as productive players. “I saw (Trevathan and Maxwell) in spring ball so I
had a good feeling about it,” Smith said. “But still, they were really unproven until they got into it and they’ve done pretty good. And I think they can do even better.” Trevathan’s production only figures to improve once he loses the cast, which he says makes it difficult to grab ball-carriers or shed blockers. Senior middle linebacker Micah Johnson has battled a variety of ailments this year, including turf toe, an ankle injury, a groin injury and a hip flexor. Maxwell is no different; he’s suffered from turf toe and other lingering injuries. Smith says the main reason Trevathan and Maxwell prepare so feverishly for games is to overcome the time they’ve spent on the bench in previous years. Now that they have their chance, PHOTO BY ADAM WOLFFBRANDT | STAFF they’re taking full advantage Trevathan has totaled 25 tackles through five games, good for fifthof their time on the field. “They’ve waited in the best on the team. wings,” Smith said. “They’ve been hungry for it.” said. “He’s a smart kid.

Brooks, UK staff keep quiet about quarterbacks Has Rich Brooks borrowed a move from Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini? In the wake of Mike Hartline’s knee injury, controversy has emerged as to who should take Hartline’s spot. Other than what Will Fidler displayed in limited time against South Carolina last weekend, fans don’t know much about him. The other quarterback in the equation, Morgan Newton, is a true freshman who has yet to take a single snap in a college game. Since so little is known about each JAMES player, can’t we assume we’ll learn more PENNINGTON about each player at practice this week? Kernel Not exactly. At Tuesday’s practice, columnist media members were informed neither Fidler nor Newton would be available for interviews all week. It could mean a couple of things. Maybe Brooks wants to keep Auburn on its toes and not give the Tigers a chance to prepare properly. Maybe the coaching staff simply doesn’t know yet, and the media boycott is to prevent the two inexperienced players from being distracted. That’s what Brooks said Tuesday. “I don’t think they need the distraction with all of the stuff that’s going on,” Brooks said. “And besides, that gives you guys more stuff to write about and have more fun, do some polls on who should start. This is more fun for you. I’m giving you some cannon fodder.” We appreciate it, Coach. Brooks played it off — and Brooks is one of the best at playing off situations like those. Still, the feeling to me is that either way, the coaches have little confidence in the situation. I can’t blame them. When he went down, Hartline was coming off his best half of the season, arguably of his career. When he was injured in the third quarter of UK’s 28-26 loss to South Carolina on Saturday, Hartline was 9-of-14 with 139 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Just when the hubbub surrounding Hartline’s job security was beginning to be silenced, it immediately roared back. And now the controversy is louder than ever — turned up to 11, really. And is the speculation any less distracting than letting the players speak for themselves for 10 minutes after practice? Fidler and Newton aren’t going to be fielding phone calls from their dorms. Ten minutes after practice, they could answer a few questions. That’s all it would be. If that’s too much for either quarterback, how would either be able to handle his first career start on the road at the football-crazed, 87,000-capacity Jordan-Hare Stadium? This all reminds me of what Mangini did this preseason with his quarterbacks. Quick refresher: Mangini had to decide whether to start Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson at quarterback. Instead of being up front with the media, Mangini decided to tell everyone he had made the decision, but he wasn’t going to reveal it until the Browns kicked off on opening weekend. Several days before the Browns’ opener, word leaked that Quinn was the choice. Some confidence Mangini had in his choice: At halftime in the Browns’ third game, Quinn was pulled for Anderson. The Browns’ case seemed like a lose-lose. Either way, the quarterback would have been surrounded by 10 other Browns. Nobody wins. Sadly, UK’s situation isn’t all that different. Either way, UK is stuck with a quarterback who, in both instances, was blown away by Hartline in spring, summer and fall practice. And Brooks, at least through one day of QB Watch 2009, isn’t handling it much differently than Mangini. “You know, the quarterbacks both played pretty good,” Brooks said. “They threw some good balls and did some good things.” As odd as it may sound, that statement was his least vague regarding the quarterbacks after Tuesday’s practice. With the Browns, being vague didn’t get Mangini anywhere. With the Cats, we’ll see. James Pennington is a journalism senior. E-mail jpennington@kykernel.com.
Last line of defense is the one men’s soccer trusts the most in clutch By Clark Brooks sports@kykernel.com
With the likes of senior striker Marco dos Santos and Hermann Trophy candidate and All-American defender Barry Rice, most teams overlook senior goalie Dan Williams when preparing for the UK men’s soccer team. But when the game is on the line, there is no one the team trusts more than Williams. “Dan wins games,” UK head coach Ian Collins said of the keeper earlier this year. “He is able to perform in the clutch frequently which sets him apart from other keepers in the nation. Dan is one of the best in the country at his position.”
“He constantly puts himself in dangerous positions ... that’s good because you want your keeper to be a little crazy.” IAN COLLINS
UK head coach on goalkeeper Dan Williams
Though Williams has played soccer for most of his life, he has been a keeper for only seven years. “I have been playing soccer since I was four,” Williams said, “But, I didn’t start being a goalie until I was a sophomore in high school. Both my club team’s and high school goalies weren’t very good so one day I was asked to play it.” Williams never looked back from there. He played goalie for the remainder of high school. His play soon drew the attention of
Collins, who heard about Williams through an old friend of his. Williams made an immediate impact. In 2006, his first year with the team, Williams was named to third-team Conference USA along with All-Freshman Team honors. “When I came here, I didn’t know what to expect,” Williams said. “I just wanted to come to UK to play soccer and earn my degree.” The good times, however, did not last long for the Cats. The Cats were devastated early in the 2007 campaign with injuries, which put a great deal of pressure on Williams. With no offense to produce goal support, the fate of many games rested with Williams’ ability to defend the box. “That year was tough,” Williams said. “I tried really hard not get frustrated with things and train as hard as possible to make up for what the team was lacking. But, I took last season as a learning experience.” Going into his junior campaign, Williams was elected by his teammates to be one of the three team captains for the 2008 season. Rice and his other teammates point out that despite not being vocal, Williams leads by example. Williams put up a 0.81 goals against average, fourth-best for a single season in school history, in 2008. “I am without a doubt more confident than I used to be,” Williams said. “When I was a freshman, (it) took a while for me to get comfortable in the goal, but now it’s just second nature.” Going into 2009, Williams and the rest of the Cats wanted to take the team to the next level by making the NCAA Tournament. Williams, Rice and Griffiths were once again chosen to be the squad’s captains. And once again. Williams accepted the role to lead his

Senior goalie Dan Williams has been a major contributer in the net for UK since his freshman season, even though he didn’t play goalie for most of his soccer career. team. “Dan is fearless,” Collins said. “He constantly puts himself in dangerous positions, but that’s good because you want your keeper to be a little bit crazy.” Williams has 28 saves and three shutouts this year while helping the Cats post an 8-4-0 record. “Our practice routine has helped me get better over the years,” Williams said. “Goalies report early to practice, so we’re all warmed up
by the time the other guys get here. Then we work on ball possession and game situations.” Though UK has been in a slump as of late, losing three out of its four last games, Williams has faith the Cats will finish well at season’s end. “When this team plays well, no one can stop us,” Williams said. “Look out for us to go on a run the next few games. There is no doubt in my mind, we will win the conference.”

Gillispie cash a wake-up call for UK athletics ■ KERNEL EDITORIAL Was it worth it? $3.25 million to fire someone. It’s hard to find a better severance package. After two years of character issues, 40 wins and 27 losses, Billy Gillispie was fired on March 27 for not fulfilling the expectations of a UK head coach, according to an Oct. 14 Kernel article. “There was a lack of understanding that this job is more than games and recruiting,” UK President Lee Todd said in a March 27 news conference. “You have to be an ambassador to this program and university.” After the end of the season, the UK Athletics Association, namely Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart, determined Gillispie had failed in that capacity. Gillispie’s character was further damaged after he was arrested and charged with drunken driving on Aug. 27. This was the third time he had been arrested on drunken driving charges. Did UK not look at these events and question his potential “ambassador” status at the university? If Gillispie really did enough to get fired, then why does UKAA have to pony up over $3 million to make him leave? In having to pay him that much money, it seems that UKAA did not have a strong enough case to fire him in the first place. And what about the money? UKAA is a separate entity from UK, which means it creates its own revenue and spends its own money. So while it’s not a direct hit to the university, it’s still a problem to the pocketbook. What will $3.25 million get you? For starters, new facilities for the athletes can be funded, which in turn gets better athletes, which leads to better teams, which leads to more revenue being generated. Additionally, UKAA gives a portion of its budget annually to the general scholarship fund for the entire university. Think about how much more they could have given to the university with $3.25 million laying around in the budget. When will this come to an end? Paying coaches outlandish amounts of money to coach and then firing them with a large buyout is not the headache UK needs. The UK men’s basketball coach may have to be an ambassador for the university, but when will UKAA step up and be a role model for its students? Irresponsible hirings need to stop because as much as the basketball coach is an ambassador for the university, the coach is also a reflection of the people who hired him.
Housing proposal benefits nobody ■ LETTER TO THE EDITOR The following is a Web comment in response to “Renovating the neighborhood: City inspections, plan challenge student living” The housing proposal, as it currently stands, is good for no one. It leaves property owners with empty homes, students with no place to live and creates far more problems than it ever hoped to solve. The fact is that this plan simply does not work for Lexington. There is undeniably a problem with housing near campus; these buildings are old and deteriorating and many of them are truly unlivable and that is not acceptable. But forcing students out of their homes and to the downtown neighborhood is not the answer. The problems that we face are not a result of reck-
less behavior by students, but rather irresponsible landlords who put profit above people. Much fault also lies with the city for its lack of foresight. If we want safer housing, let’s work with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government to have more inspections of rental properties in order to make sure that students have a safe place to call home. Let’s not force an unbearable burden upon the backs of students by making them live farther away from campus, but let’s hold landlords responsible for the housing that they provide.

Awards leave much to be desired In the end, it’s all much ado about nothing. I’m talking of course, about awards. Every single one of them, from the Nobel Prize to the Heisman Trophy, does not really amount to much. Just a few people getting together and deciding to give someone a plaque and maybe some cash. They’re all biased TIM and given to the RILEY wrong people someContributing times, but it is nothing columnist to get worked up about. They only reflect the opinion of those that grant them, and I refuse to generate personal outrage about how others feel like spending their resources to honor. President Obama won a Nobel Prize for giving some speeches. That’s great news for him. I hope he enjoys his rewards. If I was giving out the award, would I have given it to him though? Absolutely not; however, I am not a member of the Nobel Award committee and who they choose to honor has no bearing upon me and my beliefs. Just because they choose to honor the president does not create reflection of praise from the entire world. When awards become prestigious enough, they seem to take on a life of their own though. It’s no longer enough that they reflect the thoughts and feelings of the awarders, but instead they must speak for the entirety of humanity.
Just look at the Heisman Trophy. What began as an award given by a glorified gym in the Northeast is now viewed as the greatest honor possible for a college football player. This of course causes a great deal of consternation among people who do not think the best player in college football is a quarterback with excellent stats from a strong team in a major conference every year. But why the stressing about who gets it every year? It’s clearly biased and voted on only by a small smattering of sports people throughout the country, but mankind has seemingly decided it alone must reflect the beliefs of entire nation. In reality though, it is simply one award of many which society has assigning high value. The Nobel Prize germinates from the creator of dynamite’s will. Yet, since its founding society has decided that it is one of the most important honors any person can receive. Out of the millions of awards thrown about every year, it somehow became important above all others. As soon as one realizes that these awards in no way represent anyone except those who give the awards, there is simply no reason to become agitated when they are not given to your favored choice. If the award is poor, then quit paying attention to it. If everyone followed that one simple rule, the power of awards to rule over people so passionately would evaporate. If you believe the Nobel Prize is a
sham, then ignore it. If enough people agree with you, then it will fade out of importance to society. The Heisman Trophy is a terrible representation of college football? Then quit obsessing about it, and it will fade into the background along with the myriad of other college football player of the year awards. It is the height of laziness to pick a random award in every category of possible honor, and decide that one award will be the highest standard in the field. Awards are generated by a given group of people, represent their beliefs and biases and under ideal thinking should be nothing more. There are solutions even if one feels that the wrong person has been honored. Nothing stops average Joe from taking some scrap medal and fashioning his own award for however he feels deserves accolades for their accomplishments. If you lack expertise, people will probably think you are mad, but it surely represents you better than an award given in Sweden. But, there is no point in getting bent out of shape about who does or does not receive any award. Any award has only the power we choose to give it. If it is not worthwhile, then it will fade into obscurity. Having a conniption fit is never the correct protest. Instead, simply don’t even acknowledge it ever happened.

How do you turn a penny into a million dollars? Try Roth IRA accounts Suppose I gave you these scenarios to choose from: either I give you $1,000 today, no questions asked, or I give you a penny today, double it tomorrow to two pennies, and continue to double my gift to you every day for a month. Most people – without ADAM thinking – easily FRENCH choose the $1,000 Contributing gift on the first columnist day of the month due simply to the fact that it sounds like a much better deal. The initial payment of $1,000 seems vast compared to an initial payment of a penny, regardless of the future conditions of that choice. In economics, we often hear the term “opportunity cost.” Opportunity cost is defined as the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a decision is made. For example, if Saturday night’s choices are going to a movie or going bowling, the opportunity cost of going to the movie is whatever entertainment value is placed on going bowling,
and vice versa. For the opening scenario to this article, the opportunity cost of choosing the $1,000 – as most people would blindly pick – is $5,368,709.12, which is the value of a penny a day doubled for a 30-day month. Such is the beauty of compounded interest and in this case a 100 percent interest rate. Why is this relevant? For one simple reason – there are opportunity costs to each and every dollar we spend, even as typically poor college students. As poor college students, we make some decisions every single day that cost us in the future, whether we know it or not. As an example, take the money spent on alcohol and cigarettes for a typical college student over the course of a year. Assuming – and this is only an assumption for the sake of proving a point – that as a college student, you spend $20 a week on booze (a case of Bud Light in cans typically sells for around $18) and an additional $5 for a pack of cigarettes. Assuredly, this is a very high estimate for some of you, and a very low estimate for others. Also, rest assured that this article is not meant to sound preachy or con-
demn people for partying while in college – I certainly did, to little regret. However, this $25 spent in a week’s time on these vices amounts to $1,300 in the course of a year. Now let’s revisit the ideas of opportunity cost and compounding interest. If a college student opened up a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA), which is a collection of investments in different types of securities such as stocks or mutual funds that together make up an individual retirement account, he or she could place this $1,300 in the account over the course of a year’s time. Assuming that this account is started at age 18 in college with an expected retirement age of 60, and assuming that the $1,300 contribution was made each year for 42 total contributions, with an 8 percent annual rate of return, the contributions would grow to $395,517, assuming a 3 percent inflation rate (or $175,801 with inflation taken out of the picture). It may seem trivial to consider retirement as a college student, so the numbers above may not seem to be that big of a deal – you can always save for retirement later,
right? The fact of the matter, however, is that Roth IRA accounts are most beneficial to people who begin investing earlier as opposed to later. For example, with the same assumptions as before, if you wait until you are somewhat established to begin contributing to the same account and start making your $1,300 payment at age 30 as opposed to age 18, the value of the Roth IRA at age 60 drops to $147,268 before inflation — a decrease of over 60 percent. Basically, the money we spend to party in college is costing us not only the money we could have upon retirement, but also the prime years in which to be investing for the future – definitely something to think about next time you swing by Liquor Barn. Of course, our friends at the IRS have put some caveats on using Roth IRAs. The maximum allowed in a given year to contribute is $5,000 or as much money as you have earned in income over the course of the year. For example, if your annual income is $2,500, then that is the maximum contribution you can make that tax year. So for those of
you without a job, there is an opportunity cost of being unemployed in college, as well. Finally, contributions to Roth IRAs must cease if their holder’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds $120,000, but if you are making that kind of money in college, your retirement may be more secure than an IRA could provide. Once again, this is a pure human interest article, not a call to quit drinking or partying in college. I did my share of partying but have also contributed to a Roth IRA account since I was 14 years old, so a balance can be made if you plan wisely. If you decide that a Roth IRA is for you – and you want your money to start working for you, not the other way around – then go to a reputable and secure financial, insurance or investment institution such as Chase, State Farm, or Wells Fargo and tell them you are ready to seize the opportunity cost of being a college student. As with the penny doubled for a month, you just may be surprised by the return on this investment. Adam French is an MBA graduate student. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Survey: Jobs to rebound in 2010 By Garrett Wymer news@kykernel.com
Employment is making a comeback. Two-thirds of career counselors at U.S. colleges and universities believe the job market will rebound by 2010, according to a survey recently released by OneWire.com. The other 33 percent surveyed do not foresee significant improvement until at least 2011, the report said. The survey comes at a time when unemployment in Kentucky was measured at 11.1 percent in August, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics. Nationwide unemployment for September was at 9.8 percent. Francene Gilmer, assistant provost for career education at UK and director of the James W. Stuckert Career Center, said she does not believe the turn from trouble is quite in sight. “I think it will probably be another two years for the market to turn around and for jobs to be more readily available,” Gilmer said. One problem graduates encounter is competition for the same jobs with workers who have been laid off, Gilmer said. “When I look at the state of Kentucky, I see that our state unemployment is something that needs to be attended
to,” she said. “It’s high. What are we going to do about it? James S. Fackler, a professor in the economics department in the Gatton College of Business and Economics, said signs of job market recovery are unlikely to be seen until the second half of 2010. Not all students believe their ability to get a job will be greatly affected. Josh Stamper, a biology junior studying to become a dentist, said his chosen field is in desperate need of workers. “I think it’s part of the process,” Stamper said. “Things have to go down for them to go back up. There’s a history of that—it follows the same pattern.”

He just seemed like an alcoholic to me.”

Gillispie was 40-27 in two years coaching the Cats. UK missed the NCAA tournament in 2009 for the first time since 1991. Gillispie’s attorneys could not be reached for comment Tuesday night. In the news release, UK officials said the university would have no further comment on the matter. On Aug. 27 Gillispie was arrested and charged with drunken driving in Anderson County, Ky. He checked himself into the John Lucas Aftercare Program on Sept. 8. His DUI trial dates are tentatively set for February 2010. will work with UK to build those connections in the future,” Ward said. UK Hospital safety officer Sharon Berry said the university will work with the LFCHD in either providing staff for large clinics or sponsoring one. Berry said the vaccinations should be arriving at the LFCHD every two weeks if not more often, but because of inconsistencies with the arrival last week, she said no one should “bank on that.” “Eventually there will be enough of the vaccine for everyone,” Berry said. “It’s just going to be slow in beginning.”
Continued from page 1 you’re not making sacrifices to live in one of these homes,” Kellow said. In the last three days of competition, the judges, called juries, will continue to see how the house maintains comfort by monitoring the temperature and humidity of the house, and running tests to see if there is enough hot water for showers and dish washers, Kellow said. Kellow said while there are always opportunities to do more, the team was well-
prepared and has done a good job putting together a design that is effective for the competition. The future of UK’s standing depends on how the weather works in upcoming days, Kellow said. “With any luck the engineering section will be able to hold up their end of the deal with the engineering side of things … hopefully we’ll be able to stay in 13th or maybe even get top 10,” Duddey said. To support UK’s team, students can go to its Web site, http://www.uky.edu/solarhouse/house.html, to learn about the house and the competition.
