Gauging financial priorities Some UK faculty want athletics money put toward school By Brian Hancock news@kykernel.com
As debates continue over whether or not UK will build a new basketball arena, some faculty members feel the university has bigger priorities in other places. “Like most UK faculty and staff, I am a supporter of UK athletics and consider those who are real student-athletes as valuable and important members of the university community,” political science professor Ernie Yanarella said in an email to the Kernel. “That said, I believe the overriding purpose of the university is best captured in its three missions of teaching, research and service to the university and wider community. I firmly believe that the UK athletics program should step up and contribute more to the UK general fund.” UK athletics had a budget of $13.8 million in 1987, when it began its annual donation of $1.25 million back to the university’s general fund, according to Yanarella. Today, the athletics budget hovers around $74 million. Its annual donation has increased to $1.75 million, according to Yanarella. In a time where UK is facing budget shortfalls, and must again raise tuition to stay on par, “I find [talk of a new Yanarella is not the only arena] hard to one voicing concern. rationalize.” “I find it JOE PEEK hard to befaculty representative for the lieve that [the Board of Trustees donation] is one out of nearly 80 million,” Joe Peek, faculty representative for the Board of Trustees, said. “In a time when our budget is so strapped, it seems like they should contribute more.” The idea of a new basketball arena lies at the forefront of this debate. Some faculty members would rather see excess athletic funds routed back to UK instead of put toward a new arena. UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart has previously stated that UK’s arena “must be the gold standard” in college basketball, whether that comes through renovations to Rupp Arena or through a new arena. A task force has been appointed by Mayor Jim Gray to explore the arena situation. Yanarella argued that Lexington simply cannot support an additional arena, adding that the Lexington Convention Center already has troubles paying for itself. “Can the Lexington downtown really support two arenas?” Yanarella asked. “Wouldn't one become a white elephant when not used for sport? How many truck pulls and ice capades can be offered to make both arenas financially viable?” Peek believes UK faces more pressing needs in the near future. “I find [talk of a new arena] hard to rationalize,” he said. “The time doesn’t seem right. The state, city and university are in a very difficult financial situation right now.” Among the most pressing concerns are faculty salary and student tuition. President Lee Todd sent an email Tuesday promising a three percent average salary increase for faculty next year, saying that “the risk of mass departures that would come with another year without salary increases is a risk we cannot afford to take.” Todd also proposed a 6 percent tuition increase, which would equate to an additional $259 each semester for resident undergraduate students. “Faculty and staff have suffered from no salary increases, a big hit on faculty retiree health care benefits, and other cuts on employee benefits [in the past several years],” Yanarella said. “Meanwhile, students and their parents have had to pay big taxes in the form of tuition increases at a time that UK's buildings, laboratories and other educational facilities have deteriorated.” Peek agreed that infrastructure is a pressing need, calling it “embarrassing” in some places. “We have much bigger priorities than a new arena,” he said. “I can see a new classroom building on central campus, that is a number one priority.” With tuition, salaries and infrastructure all in need of improvement, Peek acknowledged a need for athletics and academics to work together collectively during the coming year. “We should all be in this together,” he said. No one in the athletics department was available for comment regarding this article.

UK community gathers to Higher tuition remember lives lost would benefit By Kayla Williams news@kykernel.com
The UK community gathered to remember loved ones lost this past year on Thursday afternoon on the north lawn of the Main building. Faculty, staff, students, alumni and the public were invited to share in the honoring and celebrating of the lives of those who were involved with the university, but passed this year. “This was really a group effort to bring all parts of the UK community such as faculty, staff, students and alumni together to remember those we love,” Anna Hays, the student government chief of staff for promotions and special events, said. UK Remembers honored the lost loved ones with a speaker from each branch including Stan Key, Alumni Association, Everett McCorvey Faculty Director of Opera, Sheila Brothers Staff Trustee and Student Govern-
ment President Ryan Smith. The service also provided note cards where guest could write the name of the honoree and post it on the wall outside Patterson Office Tower. Music was performed by the UK School of Music, Paws and Listen. “We are all honored to be a part of UK Remember, it gives all of us a chance as a whole to celebrate, to commemorate the members of our university community who had passed on,” McCorvey said. This was the second year for UK Remembers. McCorvey said he hopes the university continues this event for many years.

general budget By Joy Priest news@kykernel.com
With the recently proposed tuition increase, undergraduate students are wondering where their extra money will be going. In an email to the Kernel on Wednesday, UK spokesman Jay Blanton said revenue generated from the increase will go to the university’s general budget and be allocated to areas where it can directly benefit students. “The funds resulting from an increase in tuition will be used for educational programming, student support services, scholarships and other financial student See TUITION on page2
HealthCare mascot needs a person to fill the suit By Beth King news@kykernel.com
UK HealthCare may have the perfect job for students who have a passion for working with kids. On Saturday, tryouts will be conducted to find the next two students who will become Stitches, the Kentucky Children’s Hospital mascot. The kitten mascot makes weekly visits to children who are in the hospital and also appears at various events in Lexington and throughout the state such as Lexington Legends Games, Kerring-

ton's Heart Events, the Golden Corral 5k Run and Kohl's Asthma Events. Stephanie Carlon, a hospitality and management tourism sophomore, has been the current mascot for the past year. She said the most fulfilling part of the job is getting to visit the children on a weekly basis and see them smile. “It is one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done in my life,” Carlon said. “The people and families that you interact with show you a whole new perspective on life and have all blessed my life immensely.”

UK HealthCare is looking to fill positions for both the primary mascot and an apprentice. A scholarship is also available to both students who are selected for the roles. UK HealthCare Senior Service Line Manager Cynde Estep said they need a student who is available throughout the summer to attend the various events. “We are looking for somebody that would be dedicated to serving both the children’s hospital and the community,” Estep said. Carlon said that while this is a full time job, she would recomOpinions.............3 Sports..................4 Sudoku................2

TUITION Continued from page 1 support, as well as increases in fixed costs and other general operational expenses of the university,” Blanton said in the email. “It should be noted that these additional dollars will, in no way, account for the growing financial needs of this university. Additional institutional budget reductions will still be required for the university to secure a balanced budget.” When asked to elaborate on what “educational programming” was, Blanton cited classroom instruction and faculty salaries, as well as student support services such as advising. “Significant dollars have been spent, in recent years, on academic advising to help improve retention rates,” Blanton said. He also talked about how improved advising can contribute to students graduating more quickly, saying graduating on time is the quickest way to reduce debt. When asked if students might see an immediate and direct change in their educational experience, UK faculty trustees member Joe Peek was skeptical. “No … it just costs them extra money,” Peek said. “Are we going to see a higher quality education? I don’t know. But, if we don’t get the money
something will get cut. Suppose they didn’t raise tuition, then there would be $14 million of revenue that wouldn’t be there, so they would cut expenditures.” Peek said he didn’t know specifically what expenditures would be cut, but recited a basic business principle. “Expenses are going up, so revenue has to go up,” he said. Blanton said that tuition and state appropriations form the basis of the university’s general fund budget. State appropriations are decreasing from last year, meaning some money for university operating expenses must come from increased tuition. Blanton said the UK administration understood how the cost of college going up could be a burden to families, and expressed sensitivity to these challenges. “I think the Board of Trustees and the president, and everyone who works at the university ... understand this is a tough balancing act,” Blanton said. “Especially since some of us have kids. I think that’s why the institution has worked hard to increase scholarships.” Blanton said in the last 10 years, the amount of scholarships the university awards have increased from $17.3 million to almost $60 million a year. “Almost 90 percent of our undergrad students receive financial assistance now,” he said, saying these funds were coming from the university’s gen-
eral budget that is supported by tuition. Blanton said money from the general fund budget does not go to UK athletics, which gets its funding elsewhere. “No it does not, it receives no general fund dollars,” he said. “However, Athletics funds about $1.7 million annually for purely academic scholarships.” Peek talked about a money tracking problem with the budget. “It’s just this problem of tracking the money,” Peek said. “You can’t really track the money. If you get a paycheck and put it in your checking account, and then you turn around and buy something, you can’t track each dollar.” He said the tuition increase will go to cover whatever expenditures we have, but posed the question that once it gets put into the university account, how will it be tracked? “If we didn’t have a tuition increase, UK would presumably spend $14 million less, but I don’t know what expenditures would be cut,” Peek said. “That’s a good question to ask. Would it be something that students care about? Would it be worth the increase?” Students can attend a forum with UK administration at 8:30 a.m. Monday in Center Theater of the Student Center, to ask any questions they have about the proposed tuition increase.

Pattinson enjoys making new film By Nicole Sperling McClatchy
LOS ANGELES — Robert Pattinson has nothing but love for his recent experience on the set of “Water for Elephants,” director Francis Lawrence's adaptation of the popular novel that's set to open in theaters Friday. It was a far cry from his current job, finishing the grueling sixmonth shoot for the back-to-back filming of the last two “Twilight” films, based on Stephenie Meyer's final book in her best-selling series of young adult novels, “Breaking Dawn.” Pattinson took a moment for a brief phone interview before he was needed on the set of a night shoot for the vampire mega-hit. He seemed downright exhausted. “I’m just arriving at set, thinking I’m going to work all night,” he said. “I’m kinda losing my mind.” Q. Sorry to hear you’re so exhausted. Can you tell us what your time was like on “Elephants,” with Reese Witherspoon? A. It’s easily one of the best experiences I've had making a film and it's by far one of the best experiences in my life. It didn't even feel like work and a lot of that had to do with Reese. She makes an effort to make it like that. I think she believes that it's really important to enjoy your
Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — Today has its ups and downs. Learn to enjoy every second of the good and the bad. Be present. You're attracting the attention of an important person. Wait to make a final decision. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — No time for procrastination — do that later. You have hidden resources. Take advantage of them. Use your impulsiveness to your favor, but don't burn any bridges. New data fits. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Spending time reviewing the budget brings power.

work, especially when you have to be there for so many hours every day. I made a great friend out of it. Q. How did working with the animals impact the environment? A. When you have totally unpredictable elements, and there are dangerous elements in every single scene, everyone is in the same boat. If you’re trying to herd up a pack of horses, it doesn't matter who you are. There is manure everywhere and everyone was filthy all the time. It was an egalitarian set because of that. It’s quite inspiring to be around (the elephant.) It doesn't really matter what your taste is, everyone is going to like being around an elephant. It’s not like being around another actor some people may not like. Q. Reese mentioned that she found the paparazzi attention on you unlike anything she's seen before. What do you think? A. She’s trying to sound humble about all this but she’s in all these magazines every week. It’s a circus outside her marriage. Plus, I always see her (in them) buying her sandwiches and going to yoga. ... I guess she’s kind of accepted it in a lot of ways ... It’s just a strange situation to be in if you’re a sane person to have that kind of attention put on you.

Nevertheless: A Story of Resolve By JP Lepping news@kykernel.com
Student Affairs Coordinator for UK's School of Journalism and Telecommunications isn't the only notch on Lisa A Brown's belt. Brown has also been a playwright for 15 years, and will debut her latest work, "Nevertheless: A Story of Resolve," Friday in Memorial Hall. Brown said she meditated and prayed to God for guidance on what the play should entail. She said the focus of her plays is to help motivate and encourage people who seem to have lost their way. “My vision of this play to bring inspiration, hope and encouragement to the audience,” Brown said. “Nevertheless” is a story about a woman named Clarisse, played by Nieta Wigginton, who finds out that she
has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout the play Clarisse deals with her relationship with God, breast cancer and ultimately discovs who she really is as a person. “I wanted to bring honor, dignity, and authenticity to role that I was playing,” Wigginton said. The play features one actor who is currently a student at UK, Darius Owens and UK alums Harold Merritt and Eric Brown. “My goal for this play is for it to become a tool that brings people together,” Brown said. “Nevertheless: A Story of Resolve” will open Friday at 7 p.m. There will be two shows on Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and on April 29 at 7 p.m. and one at 3 p.m. in Memorial Hall.

The new “chapter” of technology puts books on the shelf Maybe it’s a sign of the times. Technology has taken over, and begun to replace the enduring, indisputably original entertainment source: the book. iPads, Kindles, Nooks — sure, they’re all great. However, nothing can replace a book, in my book. But, that’s just what has happened. In case you haven’t heard, Joseph Beth Booksellers has had to close four of its nine stores, and the Lexington location is on the chopping block. With the recent announcement that the SHANNON Lexington location has elected to exit its FRAZER bankruptcy protection by the end of April, I can only express my dismay. Kernel No one wants tangible books anymore. columnist Technology wins again. On Wednesday, The Mall at Lexington Green’s management outbid Joseph-Beth’s founder in a closed auction “for the bulk of the well-known chain,” according to an April 21 Lexington Herald-Leader article. Lexington Green
manager Robert Langley, of Langley Properties Co., who has worked with Joseph Beth’s founder for almost 15 years, appears to be the tentative winner of the auction. Langley has expressed desire to keep Joseph-Beth as a book retailer, but the store’s founder was shocked to see his support in safeguarding the company. Auction results will be reviewed and potentially approved April 27 in bankruptcy court, according to the Herald-Leader article. Props to Langley for wanting to keep Joseph-Beth alive, but I’m not sure what innovations he has up his sleeve to counteract the growing shift toward technology-based reading materials. Face it, bookstores are beginning to be classified as things of the past. It’s an injurious fact, but a harsh reality at the same time. I can’t help my nostalgia, though. One of my first memories of Joseph-Beth Booksellers was by word of mouth. My high school Latin teacher, who commuted from Lexington, would often speak about how the store was a must-see for any of us Louisville natives who ventured into Wildcat ter-
ritory. I’ve visited the store many times during my UK career. Did you know that the Lexington store was where the chain was founded? Or that the Lexington location has been around since 1986? But longevity doesn’t seem to count for anything anymore. This news is even worse than a real-life version of “You’ve Got Mail,” where some mega-giant bookstore impedes on the market that the Shop Around the Corner has held for years. No, Joseph-Beth was the equivalent of Fox Books. It’s sad when even the giants can’t make it. Borders had to close 228 stores as part of its own bankruptcy proceeding, and Barnes & Noble (the nation’s biggest book retailer) was bought out in August 2010 and has continued to struggle. I’ll say it again: Nothing can replace a book, in my book. No matter what the final fate of Joseph Beth Booksellers, Lexington Green will never be the same. And yes, that most certainly will be a sign of the times. Shannon Frazer is a journalism senior. Email sfrazer@kykernel.com.

Cats prep for annual scrimmage Blue-White game is UK’s spring test By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
For more than a month now the UK football team has put in the hours in the film room. For more than a month the Cats have strapped on the pads and taken the hits on the field. For more than a month they have relentlessly pursued improvement as a football team in the difficult Southeastern Conference. This Saturday, the team will play in the annual Blue vs. White scrimmage. The game represents the team’s first opportunity to show the fans, the coaches and themselves just how far they have come through spring practice and just how close they are to being a winning football team come fall. “The spring game is huge for us because it’s a game we are able to play in the spring, and we won’t be
able to play again until September,” quarterback Morgan Newton said. “We are going to come out here and play, see all the new guys in action. Seeing everything we have put in these last couple of weeks is going to be great. I’m

fense was outplaying the offense in practice sessions, but as of late it has been the offense who has dominated the defense. According to safety Winston Guy, the offense employed a no-huddle look this week in practice, catching the

looking forward to it.” Among the things the coaches will be looking for on Saturday is how well the Cats’ many new faces on offense work together and gel in real game action. Early in spring practice, coaches said the de-

defense off-guard and unprepared. Whether or not the offense can keep up their strong play in Saturday’s scrimmage remains to be seen. “(I’ll be looking for) overall execution,” Phillips said of his offense. “In
spring games you want to throw the ball and everybody wants to see you throw the ball, and I want to make sure we are being efficient in the throwing game. Throwing, catching, throwing it to the right people and just moving the football.” “Every time we get the ball we should just go down and score, no questions asked,” wide receiver La’Rod King added. “When we get the ball we know we are going to score.” The coaching staff will also be keeping a close eye on the defense, who will be debuting first year co-defensive coordinator Rick Minter’s new-look defense on Saturday. “We got to be aggressive, we got to bring it,” Guy said. “This whole week, the offense has been killing us … Everybody just has to be on the same page. People can’t get frustrated, because when people get frustrated then people start pointing fingers, people start blaming stuff and it takes everyone out.”
“It seems like lately we have hit a little bit of a snag,” linebacker Ronnie Sneed said, “but when we do the defense right and everybody is clicking on the same page, it’s running pretty good.” Most importantly, every player on the Cats’ roster wants to arrive on Saturday and show what this team is capable of. No matter the score, no matter the result, the team simply wants to play hard and show that they are capable of doing great things in 2011. “This Saturday I’m just going to come out here and ball out,” King said. “The defense has been throwing a lot of tricks at us, it’s a new defense to read, but really just do everything I can do for my team.” “The work starts now,” Phillips said. “Those guys preparing for the offseason, for the summer, and making sure they do what they have to do to get themselves ready to play in the fall.”
UK football alters spring game UK football was planning on holding an offense vs. defense scoring system for the second year in a row for the Spring Game. It planned on tinkering with the scoring system to even things out and make the game more competitive, at least on the scoreboard. But the format has been changed back to a traditional format, with the team split into Blue and White squads. The White team will be the first team, and the Blue team will be the second team. Blue will get a 14-0 lead to start the game. “The players wanted more excitement and felt that a game format would do it,” head coach Joker Phillips said in a release. “I know that a scrimmage scoring system can be confusing and this will be easier to follow.” Phillips said the original idea of offense/defense was due to a limited number of players at some positions. In the current format, some players will be able to switch teams if necessary. The game is scheduled for this Saturday at 3 p.m. at Commonwealth. Admission and parking are free and on first-come, first-served basis. —Aaron Smith
Tennis enters SEC Tourney at No. 3 By Samantha Rothbauer sports@kykernel.com
UK men’s tennis coaches and players are mentally preparing for the matchup between the winner of the University of South Carolina and Auburn match. “I think our team is very fit,” head coach Dennis Emery said. “I think the (Southeastern Conference) tournament becomes a little bit of a physical grind, especially if it’s at Florida in a little more heat.“ No. 13 UK (8-3 SEC) defeated Vanderbilt last week in a comeback win to earn a No. 3 seed in the SEC tournament. “Against Vanderbilt we had a tough match, and they’re ranked No. 29 and we barely pulled it out,” junior Eric Quigley said. “Pretty much any team, especially in the SEC can play really good on any given day so we just have to be prepared against any-
body no matter who we play or what they’re ranked.” Junior Alex Musialek said the win over the Commodores didn’t come easy. “It was a really tough match,” he said. “We played on their senior day and I think they had four seniors on the team so they were really pumped and they were ready to go, but mentally we have to be really strong. I think we couldn’t be more ready to go [to the tournament]” As the SEC tournament nears, the Cats believe they are doing their best to prepare for the intensity of competition to be seen from all teams. UK is hoping to match up with Auburn for the Friday morning match. After falling to Auburn earlier this season, the Cats are looking for revenge from one of their three SEC losses.
“Auburn is a clear-cut favorite to beat South Carolina, so we’re really looking to prepare for Auburn,” Emery said. The players believe it is crucial to jump ahead on the doubles matches, to put them in good standing for the singles. “The key to the match is the doubles point. We lost the doubles down at Auburn. I think if we can win the doubles this time it’s going to give us a lot of momentum going into the singles,” Emery said. “In terms of match-ups, I don’t think it’s a good one or a bad one, but I think the doubles point is key. UK is 13-3 when winning the doubles point and 6-4 when losing the doubles point. “We already lost to Auburn PHOTO BY AARON SMITH | STAFF this year, so we’re looking for a win this time,” Musialek said.

The Cats enter the tournament ranked No. 3 in the SEC.
