UK raises tuition; faculty, staff salaries we do our students a grave and lasting disservice if we let the quality of their undergraduate experience erode. And it will erode if flat salaries result in faculty and staff departures and if flat budgets keep us from investing in this university’s progress.” According to a survey of tuition and required fees from the University of Virginia, UK’s current resident tuition rates rank 17th in comparison
Students could see a 6 percent increase for second straight year By Becca Clemons bclemons@kykernel.com
For the second year in a row, UK students could see a 6 percent tuition increase — or $259 per semester for resident undergraduate students. In a campus-wide email Tuesday, UK President Lee Todd said tuition increases can offset some of the budget
deficit the university will face, since its appropriations from the state will decrease from last year. Todd will ask the Board of Trustees at their May 3 meeting to approve the 6 percent increase. “I understand the pain tuition increases cause our students and their families,” Todd said in the email. “But

Faculty say study abroad has benefits
Employees can expect 3 percent pay increase By Becca Clemons bclemons@kykernel.com
UK faculty will see salary increases for the first time in three years. President Lee Todd announced Tuesday that non-UK HealthCare faculty and staff will see an average 3 percent salary increase next year. Todd said retaining the best faculty is imperative to UK becoming a Top 20 public research university.
“UK faculty salaries have been below relevant benchmarks,” UK Provost Kumble R. Subbaswamy said in an email to the Kernel. “The (Top 20) business plan called for doing significant catch-up investment. Instead, we have fallen farther behind because of three years of frozen salaries.” Faculty trustee and director of UK Opera Everett McCorvey said faculty are excited about the raises. “For the past three years, the faculty continued to work for the benefit of the university in spite of not having raises,” McCorvey said, “and are delighted that our wait is over for salary increases.”

It is now possible for UK students to earn six credit hours for the price of one. It has become easier than ever for a student to study abroad and earn credits towards a specific major, according to Anthony Ogden, the director of Education Abroad. Programs abroad are of“We are going fered by major, and scholto help secure arship and aid available to health, safety and students wishsecurity of our ing to study abroad is at students.” an all time high. ANTHONY OGDEN “Each of Director of Education Abroad the colleges has someone who is the representative on UK’s International Advisory Council, and that person should be able to give suggestions on programs that fit best with the curricula in that particular college,” Beth Barnes, the associate dean for Undergraduate and International Studies, said. The faculty at UK have been stressing the importance of studying abroad and the benefits that can be gained anywhere from a short twoweek program to a full year abroad. “Students who study abroad are more likely to graduate and graduate on time after studying abroad,” Summer Eglinski, an Education Abroad adviser, said. In light of the overseas turmoil that exists in places such as Egypt and Japan, students’ safety has been assured, according to Ogden. Ogden said students are provided with travel medical insurance and evacuation coverage, and UK will work closely with a partner university to ensure the student’s safety. “We are going to help secure health, safety and security of our students,” Ogden said. “In spite of the economy and safety issues, enrollment has increased from 589 UK students in the 2009-2010 school year to 700-plus in the 2010-2011 school year.” Although the spots are few, there are still some available in select programs for the fall and summer terms. “We no longer want students to ask ‘where do I want to go,’ but instead ask ‘what do I want to study,’” Ogden said. “If you are looking for the best possible education, studying abroad is the way to go.”
Members of the UK and Lexington communities can gather Thursday to remember those who have died in the past year. UK Student Government, Work-Life, Staff Senate and other organizations have put together the second annual UK Remembers: A Memorial Service to commemorate the students, faculty, staff and alumni the university has lost over the past year. Anna Hays, the deputy chief of staff for promotions and special events for SG, was in charge of making a banner for the ceremony that would consist of all the names or memories of those who died. Students, faculty, staff and alumni were encouraged to go to the UK Remembers Facebook page or submit names to the SG office to put on the banner.

dence. The website, launched in July 2010, is a tool available to any UK student. It features apartment communities and private housing listings that are displayed in an easy-to-use format. The website is operated through a partnership with a company called Off Campus
Partners. “We have two main goals,” Trina Jones, the Off Campus Partners chief operating officer, said. “To simplify the off-campus housing process by creating a one-stop shop for students, parents and faculty or staff to find off campus housing, roommates and education. Also to educate students about living off campus; what to consider before you sign a lease, how to be good neighbors in the community

TUITION Continued from page 1 to those of Top 20 institutions, which UK is striving to be as part of Todd’s proposed business plan to be a Top 20 public research university by 2020. The university expects its tuition rates to remain near or at the same position.
“We do our students a grave disservice if we let the quality of their ... education erode.” LEE TODD UK president
UK’s current non-resident rates are second lowest in comparison to the Top 20 institutions. The increase will generate $14.8 million for the university, Todd said. Even with the tuition increase, $20 million more is needed to balance the budget, Todd said. A $3.1 million reduction in state funding next year — a 1 percent cut — will make internal cuts necessary to balance the budget. “Every department on campus is being asked to look at a cut ranging from 1 to 3 percent on average,” UK spokesman Jay Blanton said.
Those departments will then make recommendations to the president and provost. “The goal will be to do things that minimize any impact on education and teaching,” he said. “The president and provost are adamant that any cuts not impact the educational mission.” As tuition fees increase, Blanton said he expects scholarship money to increase as well. “What the president and the provost have tried to do in recent years is increase scholarships and financial aid proportionally to the increases in tuition,” he said, “so we’ll try and do that again this year.” Todd said the increases will benefit students in a number of ways, like keeping scholarships competitive, implementing the new General Education curriculum — to replace the current University Studies Program, funding Student Center renovations, creating smaller classes and offering more online courses. Blanton said many colleges are offering online courses for this summer; the College of Art & Sciences will roughly double its online course offerings. Blanton said this will be the third year in a row that the percentage of tuition increases has been below double digits. The past two year have seen 5 and 6 percent increases. He said these increases stem from state budget cuts in nine of the last 10 years.
SALARY Continued from page 1 In a campus-wide email, Todd said that all salary increases will be based on merit, with 3 percent being the average increase. The state appropriations for university’s 2011-2012 operating budget, however, are being reduced next year by $3.1 million. The 3 percent salary pool will cost the university an additional $11.2 million, Todd said. “The most important thing I can do for my successor is keep this University’s best faculty and staff intact and focused on teaching Kentucky’s children and solving Kentucky’s problems,” Todd said in the email.

Actor Bridges dabbles in music By Randy Lewis MCT
LOS ANGELES — As an actor, Jeff Bridges followed his Oscar-winning turn as down-but-not-out country singer Bad Blake in “Crazy Heart” with an Oscar-nominated spin as downbut-not-out lawman Rooster Cogburn in “True Grit.” Now comes the news that Bridges will pick up a guitar once more, not for “Crazy Heart II,” but for an album slated to be produced Bridges by his longtime friend, producer and “Crazy Heart” prime mover T Bone Burnett. Bridges has signed with Blue Note Records and is scheduled to release his majorlabel debut album late this summer, according

The project will include songs written by Bridges as well as material from Tom Waits, the late “Crazy Heart” music supervisor Stephen Bruton, Greg Brown and others. The actor-musician will share vocal duties on some tracks with guests including Rosanne Cash, Sam Phillips and Benjie Hughes. Shortly after “Crazy Heart” was completed Burnett noted that Bridges and director Scott Cooper were intimately involved with the creation of the original songs used in the film. “Really, Jeff and Scott could get writing credit on these songs, because they contributed so much,” Burnett told the Los Angeles Times in 2009. “Even though I’m not sure they wrote any actual lines, the discussions would become songs. Somebody would say something, Jeff would say, ‘That’s a song’ that sort of thing.”

will keep some UK faculty off the job market. He said a lack of salary increases is a reason a faculty member might decide to look at other schools. “The fact that we’ve not had any furloughs or any major layoffs as a result of the budget, I think that this is a great start in the right direction,” he said. “(As) the economy continues to be revived, I’m hopeful that we will continue to be able to reward faculty for their patience over the last three years and also (for) their continued support of the university.” Subbaswamy said UK faculty are “prime targets for being recruited away.” “Without some merit and market adjustments now, we can forget about our Top 20 goals,” he said. Subbaswamy said less staff sup-
dents to use the site to find last-minute housing, post or find sublets and fill any roommate openings.” Students can register for a free account at www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/O CSS. “The most important thing to know about the site is to use it and tell your friends,” Jones said. “The more that students search and post items on the site, the more helpful it becomes to everyone.”
port cutbacks in library holdings and cutbacks in low enrollment courses are changes that could be seen in departments in order to balance the university’s budget. “It’s been difficult, but the faculty’s been resilient,” McCorvey said, “and I think that we worked hard to keep the standards up at the university.” Merit evaluation processes that document performance in teaching, research and service will determine the amount of the raises for faculty members, Subbaswamy said, and the net merit score takes all three into account. The university will hold a Budget Forum Monday, April 25, at 8:30 a.m. in the Center Theater of the Student Center. All members of the university community are invited to attend to discuss the budget in more detail.

A Canuck surveys staff Have you learned anything from “Memoirs of a Canuck?” If you’re one of my colleagues, the answer seems to be a resounding “yes,” if learning counts as perfecting the skill of belittling my home and native land, Canada. Oh, and belittling me, too. Why stop the dominant themes of this column now? I polled 12 Kernel staffers, some of the most well-respected journalists* on all things Canada. Five people did not respond to my quiz. As far as I’m concerned, these people are dead to me and I will go out of my way to make the NICK Kernel office an awkward CRADDOCK place to work and demand Kernel that cubicles are set up so columnist that I do not have to make unintentional eye contact with those people who were far too busy to take my quiz. Here are the questions I asked the staffers and the best responses from those who participated: 1. Who is the prime minister of Canada? “It doesn't matter; Canada’s impact on the world is negligible enough to render the position irrelevant.” –Aaron Smith (Well played). 2. What symbol is on the Canadian flag? What color is it? “Maple leaf, communist red.” “Socialists don’t have flags.”/ “A flaming bright red maple leaf.”—Brandon Goodwin/Britney McIntosh/Latara Appleby (Cleary, leftist politics and homophobia come to mind with Canada’s flag). 3. What sport are Canadians REALLY good at playing? “Canadians, while not truly good at anything, tend to play a lot of hockey. It seems they chose to play a sport that people in the U.S. don’t care about, probably to avoid being second best to us again.”—Appleby (Being first is the worst. It’s a rhyming fact of life). 4. Describe, in your own words, what a “toboggan” is: “It's a hat! You crazy Canadians try to tell us that it is a sled or something, but below the border (where everything truly is much better) we know a toboggan as a hat.”—Taylor Moak (Who are you calling crazy? You’re the one yelling about hats …).
Memoirs of a Canuck 5. Name the province where most French Canadians live: “Clearly, it’s not British Columbia.”—Becca Clemons (Instead of telling me what it isn’t, why don’t you tell me what it is?). 6. Name three Canadian celebrities: “Celine Dion, the Biebs and Nick Craddock.”/ “Nick Craddock ... that’s the only one I know.”—Appleby and McIntosh (You two have mastered the art of pandering). 7. What is the capital of Canada? “Maple syrup (for those too unwitty to catch on to the pun, I'm saying this is the financial capital that makes Canada both wealthy and lame.)”— Smith (I’m not eating dry pancakes). 8. Do you drink Canadian beer? If so, what kind? “How dare you ask a 19-year-old that question! Damn Canadians think it’s OK to give alcohol to minors — don't they know the brain isn’t fully developed until age 21?!”—Clemons (My bad). 9. If I have $40 (Canadian) and I make it rain in the club, how many Canadian dollars am I left with? “You’re fired.” –Martha Groppo. (Love you, too, Martha) Honorable mention goes to Goodwin’s: “Probably 40. Most legitimate strippers don't take your currency.” 10. Do you believe in sasquatch? Do you believe in Justin Bieber? “Of course. Don’t you mean ‘do you Belieb?’” / “Sasquatch — no. Bieber — baby, baby, baby NOOOOO!”—Groppo/ Moak (Ending on a high note. Lovely). 11. There was no question No. 11, but Smith said: “The lifeblood of a Canadian is of course 50 Chicken McNuggets. No, this wasn’t asked, but it shows that Canadians are humane on some level.” I eat McNuggets, therefore I am. *In the UK community

Lamb returns for sophomore season By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFF
UK guard Doron Lamb announced Tuesday that he would return for his sophomore season with the Cats.
Doron Lamb will not enter his name in the NBA Draft and will return for his sophomore season, according to a UK press release. “Last season was an unbelievable run for me and my teammates, winning the SEC Tournament and advancing to the Final Four,” Lamb said in the release. “Losing the last game against UConn was tough and I don’t want to end my college career with that feeling. With the guys we have coming in next year, I know we have the talent to make another run at a national title. I want to help bring a national championship back to the Big Blue Nation because I know they’ve been waiting too long. I’ve enjoyed my time at Kentucky, playing
for Coach Cal and his staff and I’m not ready for it to end.” Lamb averaged 12.3 points while shooting an SEC-leading 48.6 percent from 3-point range. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman team by conference coaches. Head coach John Calipari has previously said that Lamb could be a lottery pick next year if he adds 15 pounds of muscle to his frame. “Doron has the opportunity to improve greatly with an additional year in college,” Calipari said in the release. “A lot of players have opted to return to school which made it a tougher decision for him. Not only does he gain another year of maturity and school work, but he now has the chance to put in the extra work to elevate his game. I’m excited to have him back.”
UK develops quarterback tree By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
In UK head football coach Joker Phillips’ time as a coordinator and head coach in the Bluegrass, he has watched as quarterbacks from Andre Woodson to Mike Hartline and now Morgan Newton develop at the position and grow as football players right before his eyes. But more special than their play on the field is the quarterback tree that has began to develop off of the field. In 2007, Woodson quarterbacked the Cats to victories over No. 9 Louisville and then later over No. 1 and eventual national champion LSU. It was Woodson’s third year as the starting quarterback, and his play that season earned him a selection in the NFL draft that April. While Woodson tried his hand at professional football, Hartline took over as the starting quarterback at UK for the next three seasons. Now Newton takes over the offense in his junior year. With a handful of starts under his belt, including starts in each of UK’s last two bowl appearances, Newton is not a novice at the position. But as

Players on the UK football team gather to listen to coaches during a spring practice session outside of Nutter Field House last week. he prepares for his first season as the Cats’s outright starter at the position, he has received some help in the form of Woodson, this time as a coach. Woodson returned to UK this spring to finish the degree he set aside in favor of professional football four years ago. But he is back as a special assistant on Phillips’ staff mentoring and tutoring Newton. “He has just been helping me on a lot of things,” Newton said. “Drops and ball placement and stuff like that, and just having your eyes in the right place and just work-
ing on those things have helped.” Behind Newton on the depth chart sits UK’s only other scholarship quarterback, grayshirt freshman Maxwell Smith. Just as Woodson has begun to tutor Newton at the quarterback position, Newton has begun to tutor Smith and prepare him to be the next leader of Phillips’ offense when Newton’s time at UK comes to an end. “It’s great having Max, being able to help him,” Newton said. “When I came in, it was always a competition and sometimes you lost track of that everybody is try-
ing to get better. So anything I can help Max with I want to help him out and it makes us both better players.” The person benefiting the most from this mentoring chain is Newton, who has been given the ability to lead while still having coaches like Woodson and Phillips helping him along the way. As Newton begins to make plays on the practice field as the leader of the offense, he has gained confidence and carried himself differently with the team. Meanwhile, Smith stands on the sideline trying to replicate every move Newton makes with the second-team. “You’ve seen our quarterbacks grow up here and how they change,” Phillips said. “Morgan is playing with a lot more confidence, he has some swag to him, and he’s starting to feel good about his performance because he’s been making plays. “And thats what happens, you begin making plays and you start feeling a little better about yourself and a little bit about the offense, you start studying the offense a little bit more. We just need Morgan to continue to grow in the position.”
Baseball slumping in conference play By Patrick Marion sports@kykernel.com
For the fourth straight series, the UK baseball team was swept by a Southeastern Conference opponent when the Rebels of Ole Miss downed the Cats in all three games this past weekend in Oxford, Miss. UK (17-20, 2-13 SEC) has dropped its last 12 SEC games after starting 2-1 in SEC play. Since taking two of three from Tennessee in March, the Cats have been swept by Alabama, South Carolina, Auburn and now Ole Miss. The Cats lost all three games by a
combined four runs during their trip to Ole Miss. Even though the team is slumping, head coach Gary Henderson is still hopeful. “You try to stay as positive as you can,” Henderson said. “We’re in the ballgames, we just can’t find a way to hold on to a lead and get a win.” In Sunday’s series finale with the Ole Miss, the Cats took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning. That’s when the Rebels abused the Cats’ pitchers for three runs to take a 6-5 lead through the rest of the game. The inning started with back-to-back doubles followed by a strike-out by UK
pitcher Braden Kapteyn. Kapteyn then walked the next two Ole Miss batters to load the bases. The Cats then called on pitcher Alex Phillips to try to end the inning, but a chopper to second left just enough time to break up the inning-ending double play and score the tying run. The next batter singled on the first pitch to drive in a run and take the lead 6-5. “We are struggling to put all three facets of the game together,” Henderson said. “We saw some really good pitching, we saw some really good infield, some really good hitting and good defense but we just can’t get all three.”
