UK gets largest gift
The UK Board of Trustees and university president Eli Capilouto invited UK faculty to an event announcing the largest gift in UK’s history at 10 a.m. on Thursday in the Student Center ballroom. A news conference Thursday morning will announce the details of the gift and what UK spokesperson Jay Blanton called “a historic day for our institution and in the life of our students.” The previous largest gift in the history of the university was $14 million, from Carol Martin "Bill" Gatton in 1995 to the College of Business and Economics. The college’s building was later renamed the Gatton College of Business and Economics in his honor in a vote by the Board of Trustees. The university did not comment further on the extent or nature of the gift. STAFF REPORT

Other noticeable areas, like

Young Library and the front of the Main Building, have had trees planted that will frame and enhance the views of the areas. “(The library) can kind of absorb them without being overwhelmed,” Riddle said. “I don’t know much about campus — it’s my first year — but I think it’s a good idea,” said physics freshman Davi

Board set to approve $4 million in athletics donations Money will fund new football indoor and outdoor facility
The UK Board of Trustees will have the option to approve nearly $4 million in donations geared toward athletics on Friday. Most of the donations, which come from three UK alumni and women’s basketball coach Matthew Mitchell, will go to funding UK’s new football practice facility and practice fields. Chris T. Sullivan, a founder of OSI Restaurant Partners and Outback Steakhouse, has pledged $1 million to go directly toward the new facility. It’s the largest contribution to be approved by the board of the donations set to be approved later this week. Sullivan graduated from UK in 1972 with a business degree. Mitchell, along with his wife Jenna, has also pledged $1 million to the
program. The Mitchells’ contribution will be paid in 10 annual installments, starting this year. A nearly $900,000 gift will come from Roger Nicholson, who got his Juris Doctorate from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1986. Nicholson works in the coal and natural resources industries. M. Lynn Parrish, who attended UK from 1967 to 1971, has pledged $800,000 to go to capital projects for the athletics program. Parrish, the former president of Coal-Mac Inc. in Holden, W. Va. and Knott-Floyd Land Company in Eastern Kentucky also pledged $150,000 over ten years to the construction of the Wildcat Coal Lodge. He is currently the president of Marwood Land Company, Inc. in Pikeville, Ky. and

Planting initiatives have to stay away from underground utilities, as well as consider any building projects, while ensuring that major buildings remain visible for students and
faculty, Riddle said. Identifying areas that can use a lift is the next goal, Riddle said, as with the block across from the veterans’ hospital, which has received an influx of elms. The planting started before the end of last school year and continued into early summer, until the weather grew hot about a month ago, Riddle said. The warm weather could have shocked newly-transported trees, though the rain watered the trees more effectively

UK dining is squeezing out students with unnecessary regulations and pricing MARJORIE KIRK Kernel Columnist
How low must your moral standards be to capitalize on the monopoly that is student dining? Pretty low considering the average U.S. college student already leaves college with about $29,400 of debt, according to a 2013 study by the Institute for College Access and Success. But what difference is a couple thousand dollars stacked on top of that going to make? College dining halls are notorious for offering basic, overpriced food to unsuspecting college students. Why else would Wal-Mart capitalize on the 100-pack of Ramen Noodles in the
“Back to School Deals” section? Certainly not because we prefer the taste of dehydrated “noodles” to Panda Express. With limited options for finding well-priced food, students rely on the dining services provided on campus to supply them with easy access to food at reasonable costs. Since UK Dining Services has turned the reins over to Aramark Educational Services, Inc., costs for the minimum meal plan required for all students living in the dorms are supposed to have decreased, according to a UKNow article written by UK spokesman Jay Blanton. However, new rules now dictate how often a student can eat, who can use purchased meals and what the unit price per each meal is. Last semester, the dining services on campus had few limitations to the cardholder
other than what time they could use meal swipes at the retail food chains on campus. Students are no longer allowed to swipe more than once between the hours of 7 and 10:30a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. without purchasing the unlimited plan. If we wish to eat more than once during one of the parameters we must use our flex or plus. In addition, students can only swipe themselves and must use flex or plus to treat someone else to a meal. During my freshman year I would swipe for my brother and myself, which seemed reasonable for the price we paid; now more meals will go to waste because the cardholder can’t make use of them all. According to our calculations based on current data from the UK Dining Services
Loan debt clouds students’ post-college plans MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
It’s no secret that jobs are hard to find these days. For our generation, graduation and making a living is no longer the given that it has been in the past. New data shows that it is particularly difficult for students holding debt from student loans. Sixty-two percent of graduates from Kentucky universities have student loan debt, the 19th-highest count in the nation. The average load on a young graduate’s wallet is $24,584. Student loan debt also has an enormous effect on the income of workers. Pew research found that, nationally, the median net worth was seven times higher for students without student loan debts when compared to those with debt. Debt is not the only economic factor that causes recent graduates to struggle coming out of college. Income prospects in the postrecession economy have been bleak for young workers. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 260,000 college graduates are working at or below minimum wage. While that is down from the 2010 high of 327,000, it is still double the pre-recession number of 127,000.
The Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics released its 2014 Post Secondary Feedback Report just before the semester began. The report illustrated just how difficult it is for recent graduates to gain an economic foothold in Kentucky. Census data shows that the median income in Kentucky is $42,610. It took about 10 years for most Kentucky graduates to earn a $40,000 salary, with the exception of graduates in STEM and healthcare. Healthcare graduates had an average salary of over $43,000 after just three years, and STEM nearly $42,000 after five years. However, income does not tell the whole picture. Across the board, workers from every school in every industry tracked had to leave the state to find work. While 80-90 percent of graduates were employed in Kentucky after one year, the percentage fell steadily. 10 years after graduation only 49-63 percent of graduates were employed in Kentucky. The sluggish start for income has a ripple effect throughout the economy. Home ownership, one of the biggest drivers of the economy, is simply not an option for many young workers. Homeownership is declining for young workers. If workers have to move in with mom and dad to pay off loan debt, they do not have money to con-
tribute to the economy by purchasing houses, cars, investments, etc. The economy, combined with student loan debt has put a wet blanket on young workers’ livelihoods. This comes as the public view of higher education has shifted from an economic investment to an individual investment. 2014 marked the first year in history that the state of Kentucky funded less than 10 percent of the UK budget. UK also made the list of premier research institutions where executive pay has grown by more than double compared to scholarship funding. It was not long ago that one could pay for tuition by working a minimum wage job during the summer. Now minimum wage barely buys food. You and I are getting the short end of every deal since the turn of the century, but we are too wrapped up in Call of Duty and Nicki Minaj to even notice. What does it matter if the fight for marriage equality is won when nobody can afford to get married? The pattern of this country living large at our own expense has gone on too long. This nation once invested in the future of college students, and only our vote can make that happen again. Matt Young is a journalism and political science senior. Email opinions@ kykernel.com.
website, the unit price per meal of the minimum plan (about 114 meals a semester or 7 meals a week for about 16 weeks without flex) is $9.89. The unit price per meal of the blue plan (about 227 meals a semester or 14 meals a week for about 16 weeks, without flex) is $6.59. Each meal swipe will get you the exact same meal, but each minimum plan holder pays $9.89 for that swipe while the blue plan holder pays $6.59. That is a 150 percent mark up. Not only is a large profit being made off of the plan holders, who will more than likely not use all the meals they are allotted, but also on the resident students who are forced to pay nearly double the value for the same meal. Say a student has waited all day to eat and is in need of a larger portion than one meal provides, or maybe
wants to eat and take food back to their dorm to do homework. He or she would be out of luck because the new rules require him or her to wait until the next meal parameter to use a swipe. What about the nearly 6hour-long parameter from 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m.? The traffic at this time includes both the breakfast and lunch rush, meaning the students who usually got both meals during this time frame will either have to get breakfast earlier, or wait until later to get lunch—hours later. According to the Dining Services FAQ page, the reason for limiting the holder’s use of their purchased meals is “to keep discounts as high as possible.” The quality of food and service we are provided on the meal plan is not worth the discounts the services claim to offer for their various meal plans on the
UKNow website. “Prices for UK's six current student meal plans will be reduced, with the most expensive plan falling in price by 26 percent or about $740 per semester,” according to the website. If anything, we are now paying for more rules and less freedom over the same food. We live in a capitalistic country, but at what cost can we defend the capitalistic nature of business when it is bankrupting more and more students every year? UK Dining needs to reconsider the level to which they capitulate to their students, otherwise higher education will begin to devolve back to a strictly privileged expense of the upper classes.

“This is truly multi-disciplinary work,” Bhattacharyya said. The chemical-biology research, for example, may focus on breaking down substances found in plants to make chemicals used in alternate forms of energy, Bhattacharyya said. Membranes can be used in this
process, or they can filter impurities out of water and air, he added. The electro-chemical energy storage research is looking for ways to increase batteries’ energy density, or ability to hold a charge for longer, safely and at a lower cost, said Yang-Tse Cheng, a chemical and materials engineering professor and principal investigator for the energy storage team.
The award will support 97 full-time graduate student research assistantships, wrote Mossey, who will be given salaries and paid tuition. Cheng said the ability to train more graduate students to work in multiple areas of research is crucial for the work that is being done today. “I think it’ll be good for Kentucky and good for the country,” Cheng said.

Second journalist beheaded
Fonzworth Bentley addresses ‘Swagger’ in Memorial Hall speech By Erik Kropp news@kykernel.com
Students looking to get ahead and improve their “swagger” can attend a talk given by Fonzworth Bentley, a musician, author and former assistant to P. Diddy, speaks about his book, Advance Your Swagger: How to Use Manners, Confidence and Style to Get Ahead, at 7 p.m. Thursday in Memorial Hall. “It was three different pieces that led to this,” said Kahlil Baker, interim director for the Martin Luther King Jr. Cultural Center. The idea for the event was prompted by a conversation with ISC and merchandising, apparel and textiles senior Jamarl Bryant, Baker said. After asking Bryant who he would like to see
speak at UK, Bryant suggested Bentley because he thought his perspective on professionalism in business would be interesting. “It is all about helping students to develop personally and emotionally, and we felt like he could do that,” Baker said. Baker became acquainted with Atlantic Records executive Amir Windom when Windom spoke at UK last March. Windom, who happens to be good friends with Bentley, told Baker that he would put a good word in, Baker said. Judy Jackson, vice president for institutional diversity, told Baker that she would like to see Fonzworth speak at the college and the event was given a green light. “We partnered with the

Career Center and the Black Student Union,” Baker said. He hopes that students listening to Bentley will be prepared for whatever career path they choose and will benefit from the event. Baker said he expects 200 to 250 students to show up for the event but is optimistic that more will come because of the increased exposure that the event is getting. Baker said that Bentley is a good influence for college students to develop personally and professionally. “When it comes to audiences, it is often who is delivering the message (that matters),” Baker said. “If I say the words that Fonzworth Bentley gives in a speech, it doesn’t convey the same message.”
WASHINGTON _ Ignoring his mother's plea for mercy, the Islamic State posted a video Tuesday showing the beheading of Steven Joel Sotloff, the second American journalist executed in two weeks by the group in reprisal for airstrikes against fighters in northern Iraq. Sotloff's slaying was certain to pile new pressure on President Barack Obama to devise a strategy for dealing with the brutal group in its sanctuary on Syria's side of the border. Obama admitted last week his administration had not yet developed such a plan, triggering widespread derision. Sotloff, 31, of Miami, appeared to have been executed within the last two days as his killer referred to U.S. airstrikes that Sunday helped
Iraqi forces break a twomonth-long Islamic State siege of Amerli, a town populated by minority ethnic Turkmen. He also appeared to have been killed by the same suspected British militant who had beheaded American freelance photojournalist James Foley, 40, of Rochester, N.H., on Aug. 19. The video of Foley's slaying ended with the militant threatening to kill Sotloff unless Obama halted the U.S. airstrikes _ which now total more than 120 _ that began Aug.8. Sotloff's capture last year in Syria had been kept secret until he appeared in that video. Bernadette Mehan, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said the U.S. intelligence community was working "as quickly as possible" to verify the authenticity of the video. A statement issued by Barak
Barfi, a Sotloff family spokesman, appeared to confirm that it was genuine. "The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately," said the statement. The video of Sotloff's slaying was first detected by the SITE Intelligence Group, a private organization that monitors extremist Internet postings. Titled "A Second Message to America," it began with a clip of Obama on Aug. 20 condemning Foley's killing and vowing to "act against" the Islamic State "standing alongside others." The killer addressed the camera. He referred not only to the U.S. airstrikes at Amerli, but U.S. attacks that have driven the Islamic State back from the Mosul Dam, which Iraqi forces and a Kurdish militia recaptured the day before Foley's execution.

Oregon faces big non-conference test By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times (MCT)
Five things to watch this week in college football: 1. Michigan State and Oregon play Saturday in Eugene and wouldn't mind meeting again Jan.1 at a national semifinal (Rose or Sugar bowl). Oregon could probably survive a close loss if it doesn't lose again on its way to the Pac-12 title. Michigan State may need to finish undefeated in the weaker Big Ten. 2. USC against Stanford has been compelling since the Cardinal's epic 2007 upset of Pete Carroll's Trojans at the Coliseum. The added wrinkle this week at Palo Alto is USC coach Steve Sarkisian's uptempo offense going against Stanford's tempo-killer defense. 3. Brigham Young quarterback Taysom Hill's 259
This weekend in sports
rushing yards against Texas ranks as one of the jaw-dropping performances of 2013. Texas, under first-year coach Charlie Strong, gets a second chance at chasing down Hill when the Longhorns host BYU in Austin. 4. Michigan at Notre Dame is a terrific rivalry tainted only by the artificial turf that now covers Notre Dame Stadium. Irish coach Brian Kelly thought the synthetic stuff helped his players get cleaner cuts in Saturday's opener against Rice. Still, it just doesn't seem right. 5. Ohio State's obituary may have been premature after losing quarterback Braxton Miller to a season-ending knee injury. The Buckeyes overcame a slow start to defeat pesky Navy on Saturday. This week's test is visiting Virginia Tech, coming off a win over William & Mary.
