Tuition increases still unknown, remain under review By Austin McNeill news@kykernel.com
With state budget cuts being a topic of discussion, some have wondered how cuts would affect university tuition costs. Wednesday, members of the UK community came together to learn about the possibility of a tuition increase. Angie Martin, vice president of financial operations and treasurer at UK, addressed about 40 people atWorsham Theater Wednesday about
the increases in tuition and mandatory fees. Martin said on April 23rd the state government will set the parameters of how much UK can raise its tuition. About a year ago, UK capped its tuition increase at 5 percent. “Students ask me how come their tuition goes up but they never see anything,” Martin said. “I respond with ‘to teach a student there are two things needed: state appropriations and tuition. If state appro-

priations go down, then tuition will go up.’ ” The tuition and state appropriations are used for teaching, public service, administrative support and
scholarships, she said. This means if the state gives UK less money, then students will have to pay more money to keep UK in positive numbers, she said. Martin said UK has a yearly budget of more than $2.4 billion. “We are a non-profit organization, and we normally do not make a profit.” Calvin Hobson, a broadcast journalism senior, went to the forum and disagreed. ”She [Martin] said that UK is a

$2.4 billion enterprise,” Hobson said. “With that number I don’t see where it is all spent. I see a profit being made somewhere.” Martin acknowledged 2010 as the third straight year that faculty and administration would not receive a raise. Martin said the fate of tuition increases at UK is unknown right now. “As of right now, there is more that I don’t know than I do know,” Martin said.

Save the last dance Budget cuts force UK to suspend minor By Katie Saltz ksaltz@kykernel.com
Audra Flanagan has been dancing for most of her life. In the studio or on a stage, she often finds she communicates best when she uses no words at all. “It’s really hard for me to express myself a lot of times with words, and it’s easier for me to express myself through movement, and it really allows me to be creative which I feel I really need in life,” Flanagan said. Although a business junior, Flanagan is also a dance minor, something she said has changed her life significantly. “I’ve improved so much as a dancer, a choreographer, a dance educator and an artist — it’s completely changed where I want to be in my life,” she said. “When I first
Thursday is Earth Day, and two UK students are doing something to make sure the university has an impact on the environment. Biology and anthropology senior Stephanie Hopkins has begun a project to reduce UK’s water quality impact by installing rain barrels on campus. Forestry and natural resource conservation management junior Christine Kuchle will use the rainwater to create and sustain a community garden in the Greg Page and Shawneetown apartment areas. Hopkins is the first intern that the UK Student Sustainability Council selected. The council created the internship with the focus of storm water management in mind. Hopkins said the SSC chose this topic after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a consent decree with respect to water quality management, and in response the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government announced plans to implement a water management fee in 2010. The SSC chose Hopkins out of 15 students who applied for the internship to take on the task of reducing UK’s water quality impact, and her answer was to install rain barrels to catch storm water runoff from campus buildings. By capturing rainwater as it runs off surfaces like rooftops and diverting it for later use, rain barrels can decrease the amount of municipal water used for landscaping and prevent contaminated water from entering the sewer system, Hopkins said.

came to UK, dance was not in the picture at all pretty much. I was doing business, and the dance minor completely turned that around, and dance is my focus now and more important to me.” Flanagan has found that release at UK, but incoming dancers may not have the same opportunity.

Tough Times, Tough Decisions The UK dance minor and dance certification programs were suspended in November of last semester, but the possibility had been discussed since the 2008-09 school year, said Kinesiology and Health Promotion Chairwoman Melody Noland. When Rayma Beal, the only full-time dance instructor, retired, the department began to look at whether or not to hire a replacement. “The KHP faculty met and vot-

This decision was based on two factors: the resources the dance program required and the low enroll-
ment. While the dance minor had 11 students, and the dance certification program had three, Noland said KHP saw a 33 percent increase over the last two years. Out of 17 See Dance on page 5
English department awards students, staff By JP Lepping news@kykernel.com
A UK department honored numerous students and faculty for their work. The Department of English held its 29th Annual Awards Ceremony Wednesday afternoon to honor success throughout the last year. “These awards are a great way to create a small community within this large university,” said Professor Thomas M. Clayton, chairman of the Department of English. Holly Goddard Jones, a UK graduate and current professor at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. After attending UK, Jones went on to earn her masters from the Ohio State University First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.
and is the author of the book titled Girl Trouble. “I won the Dantzler-Dantzler Award as a student here at UK,” Jones said. “I feel as if that experience of winning the award has really helped me throughout my writing career.” The English department gives the Dantzler Award to an English senior for outstanding academic achievement in the field, according to the College of Arts and Sciences Web site. “The best way to become a better writer is to read and read a lot,” she said. Sophomore Mary Kathryn Corley won the Essay Award for her piece titled “When You’re Here, You’re Family.” “I was very honored, but more surprised when I found that I had won,” Corley said. “I plan to continue writing and eventually major in English.”
The awards also recognized members of the faculty. Sarah Schuetze received the Outstanding Writing Program Teaching Assistant award, Judith Gatton Prats received the Outstanding Writing Program Instructor award and George M. Phillips received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant: Literature of Film award. Professor Ellen Rosenman, author of numerous books and former chair of the English department, received Faculty Recognition: Twenty-Five Years. About 50 members of the department were honored for their achievements at UK, including those about to graduate. “We feel with all the success (that) our students and faculty achieve over the course of the year, they need to be recognized,” Clayton said.
Students lobby for tax, housing bill By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
Two UK students represented the campus community at the nation’s capital this week. Student Government President Ryan Smith and public relations senior Katie Wilkerson traveled to Washington D.C. to lobby for the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act, which aims to change a disparity in current tax laws with non-profit organizations, according to the Capital Fraternal Caucus website. According to the website, the bill aims to allow tax-deductible contributions to not-for-profit student housing entities, such as fraternity and sorority houses, to be used for the same purpose that a college could use such contributions.

Ruby’s painful past Reality star Gettinger is 400 pounds lighter and hopes uncovering her childhood memories will reveal the source of her lifelong food addiction Ruby Gettinger's childhood is a frustrating blank. She has no memories of her life before age 13 memories she believes will reveal how her weight grew to a staggering 716 pounds by the late '90s. Now less than half her previous size at around 300 pounds, the Savannah, Georgia, author and weightloss ambassador has been on a mission to uncover her past on her Style Network series, Ruby (Sundays, 8 p.m.). "I'm this big puzzle, and I'm going to do everything I can to put myself back together," says the 5foot9 selfdescribed food addict. Gettinger, 47, tells Us reporter Ingrid Sheaffer about her painful journey. Power of Food I was scared to death to see a therapist, but it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I realize that I've been addicted to food my whole life. I wasn't eating because I was hungry food controlled me. For Thanksgiving, all I cared about was the pumpkin pie. In the morning, I would take a slice. By the end of the day, I'd have eaten the whole pie and would be sick as a dog. Therapy made me start questioning my food history. What was I feeding? When did this begin? I can look at photos of myself at 9 or 10 and see that's when I started getting overweight. By high school I weighed, like, 250 to 280. When you learn how it all began, you start healing. Past Clues
"There's a reason you don't want to remember," my therapist told me of the missing years. I know my subconscious is trying to tell me something because I have nightmares about someone trying to kill me. I can never see that person's face, but something tells me I know who it is. I wake up hardly able to breathe, dreaming someone's hands are around my neck. But the reason I want my memory back isn't to accuse or assign blame. I would, if anything, want to give freedom to that person. I was shocked to hear that my mother was almost hurt. [Anne Gettinger, 75, recently told Ruby at age 11 Anne had narrowly avoided molestation by a family member.] My childhood physician's assistant "Dr. Dukes" has a theory she overfed me in order to make me unattractive to men so I would not face the same danger. I don't believe it. My mom was always protective [Ruby's father, now deceased, traveled frequently for the Air Force], but she never forcefed me. Still, she definitely enabled me. It was obvious I overate, yet she bought snacks for me. She knew I loved creamed corn, and she would bring it home for me. She's said she feels a lot of guilt like she should have stopped it. I don't blame her. I was the one who kept eating. And I'm still trying to figure out why. I'm scared of hypnosis, but if I don't remember anything else and the nightmares keep coming, I'm going to take that next step. COPYRIGHT 2010 US WEEKLY
Spring affords the flowers a chance to bloom, while spring football also gives lesserknown players a chance to blossom and move up the depth chart. With the annual UK BlueWhite intra-squad scrimmage set for Saturday, the last week of spring practice and the scrimmage are the last opportunities for players to make their mark in a position battle Melillo before the summer. One such player that made an impression last season during the BlueWhite game was junior-to-be tight end Nick Melillo, who is new to the position after converting from wide receiver this spring. “I was (inexperienced) last year, came in as a wide receiver, put on a little weight and kind of had a breakout game in the spring game with the two touchdowns,” Melillo said. For many players, a scrimmage can’t be considered a breakout performance, but it was for Melillo. The Lousiville Trinity High School product who transferred from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., decided to walk on at UK. The rookie Melillo finished with four catches for 43 yards and the pair of touchdowns to make his presence known. Melillo continued

his progression as he earned more playing time over the course of the season. He went on to play in all 13 of UK’s game and finished the season with five catches for 44 yards, but primarily served in the role of blocking receiver. It was Melillo’s prowess as a blocking receiver and his 6-foot-2, 234-pound frame that made coaches recognize his potential as tight end. In an odd twist of fortune, Melillo is the only tight end with game experience this spring, but that hasn’t changed his approach this spring. “I’m still a walk-on, I still have to work my butt off,” Melillo said. “Even if you’re on scholarship, you’re working to get better every day. If you don’t work hard, you’re going to get worse and the person next to you is going to get better, and you’re not going to be playing anymore.” The people competing with Melillo for the No. 1 tight end spot are redshirt freshmen Anthony Kendrick and Jordan Aumiller, a converted linebacker. Melillo said all of the players competing for the position are talented but they all need to work on their blocking. Still, this spring is a different experience for Melillo, who became an unknown again last year after his sparkling spring game. “I think a lot of people were surprised (by my performance last year),” Melillo said. “I’m working for the two touchdowns again, and I just think people might actually know who it is this time.”

Rapper Drake to perform at UK By Matt Murray mmurray@uky.edu
From Candian high school student, to teen soap opera actor to international rap star, Aubrey Drake Graham has seen it all.
O
n Tuesday Graham, better known as Drake, along with guests K-Os and Francis & the Lights, will bring his “Away From Home Tour” to UK. Drake was born in Ontario, Canada, where he lived until he left Forest Hill Collegiate Institute in order to pursue a career in acting. In 2001 he was cast to play the role of Jimmy Brooks on the television show “Degrassi: The
Next Generation.” He left the show in 2009 and pursued a career in music. He began to catch public attention with his 2009 mixtape, “So Far Gone,” which featured his first well-circulated single “Best I Ever Had.” In the summer of 2009, Drake signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money entertainment label. His first LP is slated for a release this summer. The “Away From Home Tour”
will take Drake to college campuses across the nation. His appearance at UK shouldn’t be a surprise for many, as the rapper was spotted at numerous UK men’s basketball games this past season. “I’m just a natural fan. I love the team,” Drake said of UK in a March 21 New York Times article. Drake made his UK debut at Big Blue Madness, where he was a coach for one of the teams during the Blue/White game. He also attended games throughout the season, including games during the team’s Elite 8 run. Student Activities Board Concert Director Chris Duncan said Drake’s affiliation with UK made him an obvious choice. “Last year when we booked
Jason Mraz, we sent out surveys and there was a big demand for hip hop,” Duncan said. “Drake’s appearance at UK games and the tournament made him an easy choice.” The concert is powered by Reverb, which launched the Green Music Group. As a result, the production of Drake’s show, from the lights to the sound, is green. In addition to being as energy efficient as possible, there will be “Eco Villages” in the mezzanines of Memorial Colliseum during the performance. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the ticket office in the Student Center or at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are $15 for students and $30 for general admission.

Your best friend’s girl Late Night Film Series There’s only one thing worse than your nagging, demanding girlfriend—your best friend’s. If she’s crashing the Entourage marathon and comALISON plaining CARSON about Kernel ESPN on columnist the TV, you can’t exactly kick her out—she’s not your girl. When girls and guys get involved in the drama of their friend’s relationships it can be a full out war. While you can love and leave the total tool of a boyfriend you have, if it’s your best friend’s man that’s driving you crazy there’s not a whole lot to do. Girl’s usually hash out every detail of what he does wrong, complaining to their other girlfriends, and when they are heartbroken the best friend is
left to pick up the pieces. One problem—if you complain to your friend about their significant other it’s likely to cause tension and resentment. Which is why it’s important to pick and choose your battles. It’s one thing if he’s spending a lot of time with his chick and another when he’s actually ditching you. If you’ve made set plans and your BFF decides to bail— that is grounds for confronting. Unless the battle is on the homefront it’s best not to get involved. While it might be hard to hold your tongue when you see your friend’s man being full out rude—it’s not your place to get in his face. Even if he is Spencer Pratt reincarnated, your friend will almost always end up running to his side anyways. If it’s just that your friend’s boyfriend/girlfriend annoys you and hangs around too much, the best thing you can do before you snap is re-
move yourself from the situation and deflate before saying something you will regret. And if you are left to listen to your girlfriend gab about her boyfriend’s transgressions, it’s best to take a Dr. Drew approach and just listen. It doesn’t matter how much you run him down or plead for her to dump him. Instead, let her know it’s best for you not to get involved but that you will be there for her if and when he lets her down. Unless your friend’s relationship is directly hurting you, it’s best to remain neutral. Getting tangled in the drama of your friend’s relationships is like setting off a nuke and a sure-fire way to start a war. Alison Carson is a journalism sophomore. E-mail acarson@kykernel.com.
to host free sneak peview By Matt Murray mmurray@features.com
UK students are going to have an opportunity to see a movie before the rest of the world. Thursday night, the Cats Den and Late Night Film Series will host a double feature beginning at 7 p.m. which will feature a sneak preview of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” spinoff, “Get Him to the Greek,” followed by the highest-grossing film of all time, “Avatar.” Cats Den Special Events Coordinator James Davidson said the event offers a unique opportunity to students. “We’re able to screen the movies because we have a deal with Universal,” Davidson said. “They’ll send us films every now and then so our students can see them before anyone else.” Past sneak previews hosted by the Cats Den include “Get Him to the Greek” predecessor “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and horror movies “The Fourth Kind” and “Gothika,” among others. “Get Him to the Greek” follows Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), who is given the task of escorting crazy rock star Aldas Snow (Russell Brand) to a performance in L.A.
Following the sneak preview, “Avatar” will be played at 10 p.m. in celebration of its release on Thursday. “Avatar” was nominated for best picture at the 2010 Academy Awards and was helmed by Academy Award winning director James Cameron, who was also nominated for Best Director. In addition to the sneak preview on Thursday, the Cats Den and Late Night Film Series will also host a sneak preview of “MacGuber,” the Saturday Night Live film starring Will Forte, Ryan Phillipe and Val Kilmer. Admission is free, and tickets can be picked up in the Cats Den until the start of the show. Seating will be first-come, firstserved and it is recommended to arrive early.

Theta member, joined about 400 members of non-profit organizations from across the country, which included several representatives from each Greek organization along organizations’ national staff and alumni. “Fraternities or sororities, including non-profit organizations, cannot be given money to build homes on universities without taxes and losing their 501c(3) status,” Smith said. “The university can use the money for anything, completely tax free.” Wilkerson said the current policy is unfair to those sororities or fraternities that own a house on university property. “It’s not really fair that there are some Greek houses that are owned by the university, and the university can use that money on them,” Wilkerson said. “The Theta house is owned by Theta, and money can’t be used for [improvements].” The current law only allows those non-profit organizations receiving donations to use them for educational purposes, while the university can use donations on housing, recreation or anything else. Smith and Wilkerson said four fraternity or sorority houses do not have sprinkler systems, which they said cost an upward of $200,000, because the organizations cannot take donations and improve the facility on their own. “There are a number of houses that need vital improvements,” Smith said. Smith said the bill originated from the Committee on Ways and Means and needs to be attached to a larger one to make progress. “It has to originate in the Ways and Means Committee, needs to be attached to a larger vehicle, approaching almost 200 cosponsors,” Smith said. “There was actually significant progress, but we won’t get to see the main part for a few weeks.” Wilkerson has confidence the bill will pass in the near future, especially after the progress made Tuesday night by the students who came to lobby.
Hopkins said setting up a rain barrel-testing site on campus was achieved at no cost. “I was able to get seven rain barrels donated by the LFUCG as they were beginning to deliver barrels to local residents for home use, for a small fee,” Hopkins said. Four rain barrels were recently in-
stalled at Shawneetown Apartments, all of which the city government donated. Beginning next spring, Shawneetown will serve as a test site for campus rain barrels as well as an education opportunity for students and community members, Hopkins said. Shawneetown Apartments are also home to another new addition on campus. Hopkins’ rain barrels were selected for this site because of Kuchle’s community garden project. The growing community garden, paired with the rain barrels, has creat-
ed opportunities for graduate students living in the complexes to grow food using the rain water for irrigation, Kuchle said. Gaines fellow Kuchle began her community garden project last fall as part of a requirement of the Gaines fellowship. Each student is required to complete a community service project that a jury judges, Kuchle said. “I initially thought the gardens would be rather small, maybe 450 square feet or so, but (there was) so much interest in the project I now have 2,000 square feet of garden
space ... ” Kuchle said. The SSC, with help from the UK Grounds Department, planted and soiled the community gardens. “Gardening helped me understand the importance of taking care of the Earth, of understanding how the natural environment works, the value of health soil, the benefits of healthy eating,” Kuchle said. “And that if society is going to build a better relationship with the environment they need to get involved with it in some way.”

Strickland case gives opportunity to set example For UK men's assistant basketball coach Rod Strickland, the fourth time should be the charm. According to an April 12 Kernel article, Strickland was arrested on April 11 for his fourth drunken driving incident, among other charges. This is unacceptable. As a former NBA player and assistant coach under John Calipari, Strickland is in the public eye at all times. He is a role model to kids across the country, working closely with some of UK's best student-athletes on a daily basis. The last thing these kids and athletes need is to be looking up to someone who has alcohol abuse problems. It seems as if Strickland doesn't realize he's someone people strive their whole lives to be, nor has he fully embraced his mentoring role. That said, UK athletics needs to do one of two things. One option is to fire Strickland. Sure, he was a great point guard in the NBA which makes him valuable for recruiting, but the athletic department needs to do what's right for the student-athletes and the school's overall image. UK is a university with a zero-tolerance alcohol policy, and it can't have such a high-profile employee behaving in this manner — especially with the alcohol-related incidents students are involved in. If the athletic department does choose to keep Strickland on the payroll, he needs help. Some type of treatment seems to be necessary —one DUI may be a mistake, but four scream there is a problem. Get Strickland help. Alcohol abuse is a serious problem, and if proper intervention isn’t taken to help resolve the alcohol issues, at the very least allocate part of his salary for a full-time driver. Maybe it's the constant, overwhelming pressure to succeed in college basketball causing coaches at UK to behave inappropriately, but the administration cannot sit back and pretend this didn't happen because of a famous name and celebrity status.
Enjoyable school year nears end, finish well Hey guys! I hope you’re studying hard and preparing for finals. As we enter Dead Week, the end of the semester is right around the corner, and I encourage you to hang in there for just a little bit longer. RYAN First, I SMITH would like to SG thank everyPresident one who came out to “UK Remembers.” This was our first memorial service held in remembrance of students, faculty, staff and alumni who have passed, and the event will, without a doubt, become a tradition here at UK. Student Government would also like to remind you we are currently accepting applications for our executive board. Several new positions are available we want to fill them with the best and brightest students. If you’re interested, descriptions of executive board positions and applications can be found at www.uksga.org. While Kelsey and I have been very busy this past year, our Senate has been working just as hard. The Senate allocated more than $100,000, helping more than 115 student organizations this past year. Last night the newly elected senators were sworn in and are now ready to help your student organization with your funding needs. Is the heat getting to
you? Well we’re here to help. SG is now sponsoring Lemonade Wednesdays. While walking to class on Wednesdays, feel free to stop outside of the classroom building and grab a cup of lemonade. I would also like congratulate the graduating seniors on our staff. Ben Duncan, Falon Thacker and Bryan Kennedy have all worked hard and will be greatly missed. We wish you good luck in future endeavors. We would also like to express our gratitude to everyone who makes what we do possible. This includes Student Center custodians, the Student Affairs staff, our wonderful advisors Todd Cox and Lynn Fresca, UK Public Relations and Dean Hazard. All of you are essential to helping SG, and we are thankful to have you on our team. As the weather gets better and you have more studying to do, I insist you to go out and study around campus. We have a beautiful campus and I encourage you to take advantage of such places like the Memorial Hall Amphitheater, the bowl next to the W.T. Young Library and of course the arboretum. These are just a few places that would be great to hit the books and enjoy the beauty of our campus. I, along with everyone here at SG, wish you the best of luck with finals. I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer. We’ll see you in the fall! Ryan Smith is a political science senior and SG president. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Experience is the true path for learning For seven years I wondered how it would feel to graduate from college, and for a few more weeks I will continue to ponder. Looking back, I know I never expected it to last this long. People reading this column may be shaking their heads in curiosity thinking, AUSTIN “Seven years? It HILL shouldn’t take that Kernel long!” columnist Others reading this column know exactly what I am talking about. You take a few years to get your feet wet, test the waters and take a few classes you like — before you know it you don’t even remember what major you signed up for. At this point, you’re a few pounds heavier, you don’t remember what a good night’s sleep is and you probably have a severe addiction to coffee. People change while they endure this experience. Many grow into adults while some regress into childhood — either way when you walk out or flunk out, you will be different person. The structure of college courses changes every year, but the dynamic remains the same. People are forced to take classes that may or may not have anything to do with each other, causing students to change mental gears like the transmission on a car. The point is to teach students how difficult it can be to multi-task while being subjected to multiple levels of the “real world.” Whether you fail or succeed is a result of your own merit and ambition. No matter how society, the school or even your family judges your trials, only you can truly say which side of the coin you belong.
Grades don’t determine a person’s wealth any more than money does. Good grades help a student the same way money helps provide opportunity, but neither define someone or their worth. Grades measure the scale on which someone learns, helping to define what is the average of the classroom. Unfortunately bad grades will hold you back from completion of the educational process, but just because someone gets a D in a course doesn’t mean they did not learn or did not try. In seven years, I have picked up a few D’s — and as I tell my family and friends, diploma starts with a “D” and ends with an “A.” Those D’s will remain on my transcript to remind me I passed those classes. They were the ones I never thought I could get through, and although by the skin of my teeth, I did it. Letter grades measure you against the average of the classroom, but people learn in different ways. Individuals make up society, and in order to maximize their true potential to do so, they must be taught in that philosophy. In the ADD generation we live in, it should not be overlooked that students are dealing with the selfpressure, along with pressure from parents and peers. As a result, some students are pulled a hundred directions without being able to focus, without the help of methamphetamine medications. For most students it takes getting help with studies, however a student with any sort of academic issue or a learning disorder must figure out what kind of problems they might face thay could inhibit their ability to grasp all the information they are charged with learning.

ney to get that concept, and the only way I was able to get assistance was to seek it out. It was easy the first few years to party and hang out with others who enabled me to not to do homework or study, things that seemed unfulfilling. In hindsight, the only thing regrettable about those years was how unrewarding they were because I didn’t tell enablers I needed to be responsible. No matter how much fun they were having getting drunk and being social, I needed to be having fun being responsible to my goals of graduation. It sounds so much like an adult to put it that way, but it is the truth. I have quit drinking and smoking while I have been in school, and the result was an increased ability to comprehend what I was being taught. I lost a whole bunch of acquaintances but didn’t lose any friends, and the grades measuring me against the class have only risen. I did not get involved in the “college aspect” of school. I didn’t do the Greek thing, join any clubs or participate in Student Government. My college experience was more about learning what effort is — what you give is what you get. I learned everything the hard way, and for this I am a smarter person, but it left a few scars. I met a lot of great students, professors and administrators. I broadcast over the airwaves of WRFL and wrote a bunch of articles for the Kernel. I cut down a ton of red tape and learned how to say ‘I’m sorry’ to those who put it up. Most importantly I learned about myself. I learned what it is like to grow up, and when I walk out of here for the last time, I will know which side of the coin I chose to be on.

NEWS
DANCE Continued from page 1 dance classes offered, Noland said the majority did not service the entire department. Noland said dance classes will still be offered but not enough to fulfill a dance minor. “It’s a big job to run 17 classes with one teacher,” she said. “It was really complicated. We hated to do it.”
Out of the loop While discussions about suspending the program had been in the works for more than a year, Beal said she was surprised at the way the news reached her and her students. Beal said she was forwarded an e-mail sent by Noland inquiring how to suspend a program. After that, she did not hear anything
more until her dance students came to class with a letter. “(The students) didn’t get any information from Dr. Noland until right before their dance concert in November,” Beal said. “Not until one of them told me, I didn’t know they had gotten a letter.” The reactions of the dance students were mostly of disbelief and many changed their plans, which originally included studying dance. “They were shocked,” she said. “All of the students that were coming in thinking dance was going to be available, a bunch of them totally dropped their plans.” Kelsey Shackelford, an arts administration junior with a dance minor, said she felt more than just shock when she found out the program was being suspended. “I was sad, and I was also angry, because I feel like dance is always the first thing

to go, and I feel the university doesn’t always look at the arts, especially dance, as a legitimate area of study or work,” she said. Shackelford said removing the dance minor is a step backward for UK in its top-20 goal. “I know (the administrators) are really big on the top20 plan,” she said. “ ... Almost all the other schools on the top-20 plan have some kind of a dance program.” Noland said all students enrolled in the minor and certification programs will be able to finish their studies. But all incoming students will not be able to complete those fields of study at UK.
Shackelford will be able to complete her minor, but said she feels the decision to eliminate the program will have a negative effect on recruiting arts students to UK. “I honestly don’t know if I would have come to UK if I wasn’t able to dance at all,” she said. “ ... If there hadn’t been any dance here other than dance team, I probably wouldn’t have come.” Noland said she understands the risk of losing students interested in dance but believes the resources must be spent on where the most students would benefit. “We would lose a few students, but our numbers show it wouldn’t be very many,” Noland said. “You have to balance it out and see what would service the most students.”
Looking for a new home The dance program at UK is under the College of Edu-
cation because of its history as part as physical education. But as the funding runs short, Beal and the dance students are still campaigning for a change of heart in the administration, or at least a change of venue. “If the provost hadn’t said to the (KHP) department, ‘Well you can have another person in health promotion,’ then there would be money for a full-time person in dance,” she said. “Whether or not he can be persuaded to change his mind, I don’t know.” Beal said dance is a fundamental element of arts education and could fit in the College of Fine Arts, if funding was available. “I think theatre would be interested in having dance become part of the College of Fine Arts, but it can’t do it without a full-time funding line,” she said. Noland said she believes
dance does have a place at UK, it just might not have room in the College of Education at this time. “I think the dance minor has a rightful place in the College of Fine Arts — the problem is they don’t have the resources,” Noland said. “I think dance at UK is really wonderful. But our department told us ‘you can’t do everything,’ and we are really sorry about that.” Wherever the dance program ends up residing, Flanagan said she just hopes it exists so others can have the chance she had to live out her passion. “Dance is not a big thing where I’m from in Kentuck,y so it’s very important for me to educate others about dance and the importance of dance,” she said. “Knowing that others aren’t going to get the same opportunity I had is very heartbreaking to me.”

Sorority to raise money for Holly’s House By Paige Taylor news@kykernel.com
Students looking for a cheap meal ticket can find it Thursday at a philanthropy event. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority is hosting its annual Kappasta event, $5 all-youcan-eat Thursday evening, and this year’s proceeds will benefit Holly’s House for the Child and Advocacy Center. In 1997, the Railroad Series Killer attacked thenUK student Holly Dunn Pendleton and her boyfriend. Today, Pendleton, a Kappa Kappa Gamma alumna, is the cofounder of Holly’s House for the Child and Advocacy Center. Holly’s House, located in Evansville, Ind., is a nonprofit organization that provides a location for the Domestic and Sexual Violence Units of the Evansville Police Department, according to its website. English junior Ellen Erny is one of the organizer’s of this year’s Kappasta. Erny said last year the event brought in about $4,000, but this year the chapter is hoping to raise at least $10,000, with all of its proceeds going directly to Holly’s House. The event will feature a drive through, a disc jockey and raffle prizes, including a basketball signed by head basketball coach John Calipari and a football signed by head football coach Joker Phillips.
