For the second year in arow, UK students could see a6 percent tuition increase —or $259 per semester for resi-dent undergraduate students.
In a campus-wide emailTuesday, UK President LeeTodd said tuition increasescan offset some of the budget
deficit the university willface, since its appropriationsfrom the state will decreasefrom last year.
Todd will ask the Boardof Trustees at their May 3meeting to approve the 6 per-cent increase.
“I understand the pain tu-ition increases cause our stu-dents and their families,”Todd said in the email. “But
we do our students a graveand lasting disservice if welet the quality of their under-graduate experience erode.And it will erode if flatsalaries result in faculty andstaff departures and if flatbudgets keep us from invest-ing in this university’sprogress.”
According to a survey oftuition and required fees fromthe University of Virginia,UK’s current resident tuitionrates rank 17th in comparison

UK raises tuition; faculty, staff salaries
See TUITION on page 2
Students could see a 6 percentincrease for second straight year
UK faculty will see salary increases forthe first time in three years.
President Lee Todd announced Tuesdaythat non-UK HealthCare faculty and staffwill see an average 3 percent salary increasenext year.
Todd said retaining the best faculty is im-perative to UK becoming a Top 20 public re-search university.
“UK faculty salaries have been belowrelevant benchmarks,” UK Provost KumbleR. Subbaswamy said in an email to the Ker-nel. “The (Top 20) business plan called fordoing significant catch-up investment. In-stead, we have fallen farther behind becauseof three years of frozen salaries.”
Faculty trustee and director of UK OperaEverett McCorvey said faculty are excitedabout the raises.
“For the past three years, the faculty con-tinued to work for the benefit of the universi-ty in spite of not having raises,” McCorveysaid, “and are delighted that our wait is overfor salary increases.”

It is now possible for UK students to earnsix credit hours for the price of one.
It has become easier than ever for a studentto study abroad and earn credits towards a spe-cific major, according to Anthony Ogden, thedirector of Education Abroad.
Programsabroad are of-fered by ma-jor, and schol-arship and aidavailable tostudents wish-ing to studyabroad is atan all timehigh.
“Each ofthe collegeshas someonewho is the rep-resentative on UK’s International AdvisoryCouncil, and that person should be able to givesuggestions on programs that fit best with thecurricula in that particular college,” BethBarnes, the associate dean for Undergraduateand International Studies, said.
The faculty at UK have been stressing theimportance of studying abroad and the benefitsthat can be gained anywhere from a short two-week program to a full year abroad.
“Students who study abroad are more like-ly to graduate and graduate on time afterstudying abroad,” Summer Eglinski, an Educa-tion Abroad adviser, said.
In light of the overseas turmoil that existsin places such as Egypt and Japan, students’safety has been assured, according to Ogden.
Ogden said students are provided withtravel medical insurance and evacuation cover-age, and UK will work closely with a partneruniversity to ensure the student’s safety.
“We are going to help secure health, safetyand security of our students,” Ogden said.
“In spite of the economy and safety issues,enrollment has increased from 589 UK stu-dents in the 2009-2010 school year to 700-plusin the 2010-2011 school year.”
Although the spots are few, there are stillsome available in select programs for the falland summer terms.
“We no longer want students to ask ‘wheredo I want to go,’ but instead ask ‘what do Iwant to study,’” Ogden said. “If you are look-ing for the best possible education, studyingabroad is the way to go.”

Members of the UK andLexington communities cangather Thursday to rememberthose who have died in thepast year.
UK Student Government,Work-Life, Staff Senate andother organizations have puttogether the second annualUK Remembers: A MemorialService to commemorate thestudents, faculty, staff andalumni the university has lostover the past year.
Anna Hays, the deputychief of staff for promotionsand special events for SG,was in charge of making abanner for the ceremony thatwould consist of all the namesor memories of those whodied. Students, faculty, staffand alumni were encouragedto go to the UK RemembersFacebook page or submitnames to the SG office to puton the banner.
“People can come to thestudent government office andfill out a card with someone’sname or memory or just ageneral comment,” Hays said.“Overall it’s just a way forsomeone to express their lossand remember someonethey’ve worked with or goneto school with.”
The SG office and theFacebook page are still ac-cepting submissions.
“UK Remembers is achance for the whole campuscommunity to come togetherand remember the people whowere an important part ofUK,” Hays said. “It’s espe-cially important for studentsbecause it shows us that ourinvolvement and time at UKis life long.”
Robynn Pease, the coordi-nator for UK Remembers, ex-plained how the event started.
“There had been thingslike this in different universi-ties, and we thought it was agreat thing to bring to UK,”Pease said. “Looking studentson campus are particularlydifficult. It’s just one very spe-cial moment in time where wecan reflect in those who havepassed away.”

EXPRESSING EXCITEMENT
PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFFSome students were invited to test out new cuisine Tuesday, in preparation for the grand opening ofPanda Express. The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Student Center.
For some students, mov-ing out of their dorm roommay be too big of a fear tohandle.
The UK Off-CampusStudent Services housingwebsite can be a step for-ward in shaking the fears offinding an off-campus resi-
dence. The website,launched in July 2010, is atool available to any UKstudent. It features apart-ment communities and pri-vate housing listings that aredisplayed in an easy-to-useformat.
The website is operatedthrough a partnership with acompany called Off Campus
Partners.“We have two main
goals,” Trina Jones, the OffCampus Partners chief oper-ating officer, said. “To sim-plify the off-campus hous-ing process by creating aone-stop shop for students,parents and faculty or staffto find off campus housing,roommates and education.Also to educate studentsabout living off campus;what to consider before yousign a lease, how to be goodneighbors in the community
and who to contact if youhave issues.”
Off Campus Partners op-erates these types of pro-grams all across the countryfor more than 50 differentuniversities.
“I think the website isgreat,” Jennifer Mickey, thegeneral manager at New-town Crossing apartments,said.
“It’s something that stu-dents have needed for a longtime because there isn’t justone place where you can go
to find that kind of thing.” Off-Campus Student
Services reaches out to dif-ferent landlords and apart-ment communities by offer-ing a subscription service tolist their properties on thewebsite.
“We have been reallypleased that most of the ma-jor apartment communitiesand property managementcompanies have embracedthe program,” Jones said.

LOS ANGELES — As an actor, JeffBridges followed his Oscar-winning turn asdown-but-not-out country singer Bad Blake in
“Crazy Heart” with an Os-car-nominated spin as down-but-not-out lawman RoosterCogburn in “True Grit.”
Now comes the newsthat Bridges will pick up aguitar once more, not for“Crazy Heart II,” but for analbum slated to be producedby his longtime friend, pro-ducer and “Crazy Heart”
prime mover T Bone Burnett. Bridges has signed with Blue Note
Records and is scheduled to release his major-label debut album late this summer, according
to a statement released Tuesday by Blue Note. The project will include songs written by
Bridges as well as material from Tom Waits,the late “Crazy Heart” music supervisorStephen Bruton, Greg Brown and others. Theactor-musician will share vocal duties on sometracks with guests including Rosanne Cash,Sam Phillips and Benjie Hughes.
Shortly after “Crazy Heart” was complet-ed Burnett noted that Bridges and directorScott Cooper were intimately involved withthe creation of the original songs used in thefilm.
“Really, Jeff and Scott could get writingcredit on these songs, because they con-tributed so much,” Burnett told the Los Ange-les Times in 2009.
“Even though I’m not sure they wrote anyactual lines, the discussions would becomesongs. Somebody would say something, Jeffwould say, ‘That’s a song’ that sort of thing.”

to those of Top 20 institutions,which UK is striving to be as part ofTodd’s proposed business plan to bea Top 20 public research universityby 2020. The university expects itstuition rates to remain near or at thesame position.
UK’s current non-resident ratesare second lowest in comparison tothe Top 20 institutions.
The increase will generate $14.8million for the university, Todd said.
Even with the tuition increase,$20 million more is needed to bal-ance the budget, Todd said. A $3.1million reduction in state fundingnext year — a 1 percent cut — willmake internal cuts necessary to bal-ance the budget.
“Every department on campus isbeing asked to look at a cut rangingfrom 1 to 3 percent on average,”UK spokesman Jay Blanton said.
Those departments will then makerecommendations to the presidentand provost.
“The goal will be to do thingsthat minimize any impact on educa-tion and teaching,” he said. “Thepresident and provost are adamantthat any cuts not impact the educa-tional mission.”
As tuition fees increase, Blantonsaid he expects scholarship moneyto increase as well.
“What the president and theprovost have tried to do in recentyears is increase scholarships and fi-nancial aid proportionally to the in-creases in tuition,” he said, “sowe’ll try and do that again thisyear.”
Todd said the increases willbenefit students in a number ofways, like keeping scholarshipscompetitive, implementing the newGeneral Education curriculum — toreplace the current University Stud-ies Program, funding Student Cen-ter renovations, creating smallerclasses and offering more onlinecourses.
Blanton said many colleges areoffering online courses for this sum-mer; the College of Art & Scienceswill roughly double its onlinecourse offerings.
Blanton said this will be thethird year in a row that the percent-age of tuition increases has been be-low double digits. The past two yearhave seen 5 and 6 percent increases.
He said these increases stemfrom state budget cuts in nine of thelast 10 years.
TUITIONContinued from page 1
In a campus-wide email, Toddsaid that all salary increases will bebased on merit, with 3 percent be-ing the average increase.
The state appropriations for uni-versity’s 2011-2012 operatingbudget, however, are being reducednext year by $3.1 million. The 3percent salary pool will cost theuniversity an additional $11.2 mil-lion, Todd said.
“The most important thing I cando for my successor is keep thisUniversity’s best faculty and staffintact and focused on teaching Ken-tucky’s children and solving Ken-tucky’s problems,” Todd said in theemail.
McCorvey said the decision
will keep some UK faculty off thejob market. He said a lack of salaryincreases is a reason a faculty mem-ber might decide to look at otherschools.
“The fact that we’ve not hadany furloughs or any major layoffsas a result of the budget, I think thatthis is a great start in the right direc-tion,” he said. “(As) the economycontinues to be revived, I’m hope-ful that we will continue to be ableto reward faculty for their patienceover the last three years and also(for) their continued support of theuniversity.”
Subbaswamy said UK facultyare “prime targets for being recruit-ed away.”
“Without some merit and mar-ket adjustments now, we can for-get about our Top 20 goals,” hesaid.
Subbaswamy said less staff sup-
port cutbacks in library holdingsand cutbacks in low enrollmentcourses are changes that could beseen in departments in order to bal-ance the university’s budget.
“It’s been difficult, but the fac-ulty’s been resilient,” McCorveysaid, “and I think that we workedhard to keep the standards up at theuniversity.”
Merit evaluation processes thatdocument performance in teaching,research and service will determinethe amount of the raises for facultymembers, Subbaswamy said, andthe net merit score takes all threeinto account.
The university will hold aBudget Forum Monday, April 25,at 8:30 a.m. in the Center Theaterof the Student Center. All mem-bers of the university communityare invited to attend to discuss thebudget in more detail.

Have you learned anything from “Mem-oirs of a Canuck?” If you’re one of my col-leagues, the answer seems to be a resounding“yes,” if learning counts as perfecting the skillof belittling my home and native land, Cana-da. Oh, and belittling me, too.
Why stop the dominant themes of this col-umn now?
I polled 12 Kernelstaffers, some of the mostwell-respected journalists*on all things Canada.
Five people did not re-spond to my quiz. As far asI’m concerned, these peopleare dead to me and I will goout of my way to make theKernel office an awkwardplace to work and demandthat cubicles are set up sothat I do not have to makeunintentional eye contact
with those people who were far too busy totake my quiz.
Here are the questions I asked the staffersand the best responses from those who partici-pated:
1. Who is the prime minister of Canada?“It doesn't matter; Canada’s impact on theworld is negligible enough to render the posi-tion irrelevant.” –Aaron Smith (Well played).
2. What symbol is on the Canadian flag?What color is it? “Maple leaf, communistred.”
“Socialists don’t have flags.”/ “A flamingbright red maple leaf.”—BrandonGoodwin/Britney McIntosh/Latara Appleby(Cleary, leftist politics and homophobia cometo mind with Canada’s flag).
3. What sport are Canadians REALLYgood at playing? “Canadians, while not trulygood at anything, tend to play a lot of hockey.It seems they chose to play a sport that peoplein the U.S. don’t care about, probably to avoidbeing second best to us again.”—Appleby (Be-ing 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 Canadi-ans try to tell us that it is a sled or something,but below the border (where everything trulyis much better) we know a toboggan as ahat.”—Taylor Moak (Who are you callingcrazy? You’re the one yelling about hats …).
5. Name the province where most FrenchCanadians live: “Clearly, it’s not British Co-lumbia.”—Becca Clemons (Instead of tellingme what it isn’t, why don’t you tell me what itis?).
6. Name three Canadian celebrities: “Ce-line Dion, the Biebs and Nick Craddock.”/“Nick Craddock ... that’s the only one Iknow.”—Appleby and McIntosh (You twohave mastered the art of pandering).
7. What is the capital of Canada? “Maplesyrup (for those too unwitty to catch on to thepun, I'm saying this is the financial capital thatmakes 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-oldthat question! Damn Canadians think it’s OKto give alcohol to minors — don't they knowthe brain isn’t fully developed until age21?!”—Clemons (My bad).
9. If I have $40 (Canadian) and I make itrain in the club, how many Canadian dollarsam I left with? “You’re fired.” –Martha Grop-po. (Love you, too, Martha) Honorable men-tion goes to Goodwin’s: “Probably 40. Mostlegitimate strippers don't take your currency.”
10. Do you believe in sasquatch? Do youbelieve in Justin Bieber? “Of course. Don’tyou mean ‘do you Belieb?’” / “Sasquatch —no. Bieber — baby, baby, babyNOOOOO!”—Groppo/ Moak (Ending on ahigh note. Lovely).
11. There was no question No. 11, butSmith said: “The lifeblood of a Canadian is ofcourse 50 Chicken McNuggets. No, thiswasn’t asked, but it shows that Canadians arehumane on some level.”
I eat McNuggets, therefore I am.*In the UK community

Doron Lamb will not enterhis name in the NBA Draft andwill return for his sophomoreseason, according to a UK pressrelease.
“Last season was an unbe-lievable run for me and myteammates, winning the SECTournament and advancing tothe Final Four,” Lamb said inthe release. “Losing the lastgame against UConn was toughand I don’t want to end my col-lege career with that feeling.With the guys we have comingin next year, I know we havethe talent to make another runat a national title. I want to helpbring a national championshipback to the Big Blue Nation be-cause I know they’ve beenwaiting too long. I’ve enjoyedmy time at Kentucky, playing
for Coach Cal and his staff andI’m not ready for it to end.”
Lamb averaged 12.3 pointswhile shooting an SEC-leading48.6 percent from 3-pointrange. He was named to theSEC All-Freshman team byconference coaches.
Head coach John Caliparihas previously said that Lambcould be a lottery pick next yearif he adds 15 pounds of muscleto his frame.
“Doron has the opportunityto improve greatly with an ad-ditional year in college,” Cali-pari said in the release. “A lotof players have opted to returnto school which made it atougher decision for him. Notonly does he gain another yearof maturity and school work,but he now has the chance toput in the extra work to elevatehis game. I’m excited to havehim back.”
Lamb returns forsophomore season
By Aaron Smith
PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFUK guard Doron Lamb announced Tuesday that he wouldreturn for his sophomore season with the Cats.
In UK head footballcoach Joker Phillips’ time asa coordinator and head coachin the Bluegrass, he haswatched as quarterbacks fromAndre Woodson to MikeHartline and now MorganNewton develop at the posi-tion and grow as footballplayers right before his eyes.But more special than theirplay on the field is the quar-terback tree that has began todevelop off of the field.
In 2007, Woodson quar-terbacked the Cats to victo-ries over No. 9 Louisville andthen later over No. 1 andeventual national championLSU. It was Woodson’s thirdyear as the starting quarter-back, and his play that seasonearned him a selection in theNFL draft that April.
While Woodson tried hishand at professional football,Hartline took over as thestarting quarterback at UK forthe next three seasons.
Now Newton takes overthe offense in his junior year.With a handful of starts underhis belt, including starts ineach of UK’s last two bowlappearances, Newton is not anovice at the position. But as
he prepares for his first sea-son as the Cats’s outrightstarter at the position, he hasreceived some help in theform of Woodson, this timeas a coach.
Woodson returned to UKthis spring to finish the de-gree he set aside in favor ofprofessional football fouryears ago. But he is back as aspecial assistant on Phillips’staff mentoring and tutoringNewton.
“He has just been helpingme on a lot of things,” New-ton said. “Drops and ballplacement and stuff like that,and just having your eyes inthe right place and just work-
ing on those things havehelped.”
Behind Newton on thedepth chart sits UK’s onlyother scholarship quarterback,grayshirt freshman MaxwellSmith. Just as Woodson hasbegun to tutor Newton at thequarterback position, Newtonhas begun to tutor Smith andprepare him to be the nextleader of Phillips’ offensewhen Newton’s time at UKcomes to an end.
“It’s great having Max,being able to help him,”Newton said. “When I camein, it was always a competi-tion and sometimes you losttrack of that everybody is try-
ing to get better. So anythingI can help Max with I want tohelp him out and it makes usboth better players.”
The person benefiting themost from this mentoringchain is Newton, who hasbeen given the ability to leadwhile still having coacheslike Woodson and Phillipshelping him along the way.
As Newton begins tomake plays on the practicefield as the leader of the of-fense, he has gained confi-dence and carried himself dif-ferently with the team. Mean-while, Smith stands on thesideline trying to replicateevery move Newton makeswith the second-team.
“You’ve seen our quar-terbacks grow up here andhow they change,” Phillipssaid. “Morgan is playingwith a lot more confidence,he has some swag to him,and he’s starting to feel goodabout his performance be-cause he’s been makingplays.
“And thats what happens,you begin making plays andyou start feeling a little betterabout yourself and a little bitabout the offense, you startstudying the offense a littlebit more. We just need Mor-gan to continue to grow in theposition.”
UK develops quarterback treeBy Ethan Levine
PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFFPlayers on the UK football team gather to listen to coaches during aspring practice session outside of Nutter Field House last week.
For the fourth straight series, the UKbaseball team was swept by a Southeast-ern Conference opponent when theRebels of Ole Miss downed the Cats inall three games this past weekend in Ox-ford, Miss.
UK (17-20, 2-13 SEC) has droppedits last 12 SEC games after starting 2-1in SEC play. Since taking two of threefrom Tennessee in March, the Cats havebeen swept by Alabama, South Carolina,Auburn and now Ole Miss.
The Cats lost all three games by a
combined four runs during their trip toOle Miss. Even though the team isslumping, head coach Gary Henderson isstill hopeful.
“You try to stay as positive as youcan,” Henderson said. “We’re in the ball-games, we just can’t find a way to holdon to a lead and get a win.”
In Sunday’s series finale with theOle Miss, the Cats took a 5-3 lead intothe bottom of the seventh inning. That’swhen the Rebels abused the Cats’ pitch-ers for three runs to take a 6-5 leadthrough the rest of the game. The inningstarted with back-to-back doubles fol-lowed by a strike-out by UK
pitcher Braden Kapteyn. Kapteyn thenwalked the next two Ole Miss batters toload the bases.
The Cats then called on pitcher AlexPhillips to try to end the inning, but achopper to second left just enough timeto break up the inning-ending doubleplay and score the tying run. The nextbatter singled on the first pitch to drivein a run and take the lead 6-5.
“We are struggling to put all threefacets of the game together,” Hendersonsaid. “We saw some really good pitch-ing, we saw some really good infield,some really good hitting and good de-fense but we just can’t get all three.”

Tuition, pay raises promise to beongoing concerns for president No. 12
Money is tight for everyoneright now. UK gets that, and hasmade a decision that will affect just
about everyone’swallets in the cam-pus community.
If you’vechecked your uni-versity email ac-count recently, youprobably have re-ceived a messagefrom UK PresidentLee Todd himselfregarding thismeasure.
Congratulations:For the first time in
three years, a three percent salaryraise (on average) will be availablefor non-UK HealthCare faculty andstaff based upon merit.
The bad news? Tuition will in-crease six percent per semester forlower-division resident undergradu-ate students. Last year’s tuition in-crease was six percent as well.
“It is going to be very difficultto provide the funds necessary tocreate the salary pool because wemust absorb a one percent ($3.1million) reduction in our state ap-propriation next year,” Todd said inthe email. “With this cut, our oper-
ating state appropriation will havedeclined from $335.1 million in2007-08 to $303.4 million in 2011-12 (almost 10 percent).”
Todd went on to say in the cam-puswide email that the tuition in-crease still won’t recover the $20million needed to balance the budg-et, and that the remaining funds willneed to be raised internally.
I support Todd and his staff fordoing what they can to avoid toomuch financial burden on its stu-dents. I amequally sym-pathetic forthe facultyand staffmembers whohaven’t re-ceived raisesin three years.
Thankgoodness UKhasn’t beenaffected finan-cially like otheruniversities throughout America.Thank you, Kentucky General As-sembly.
“I am disappointed that so manyof the budgets of the last 10 yearshave been marred by results ofevents we could not control,” Todd
said in the email.Todd has kept me hopeful during
my time at UK. Although tuitionhikes and pay freezes and cuts arethings no one likes, Todd has madea special effort to keep campus hispriority.
I can only hope that presidentNo. 12 will maintain the same senseof financial responsibility. I hopethat he or she will build relation-ships with campus in the same waythat the Todds have.
The UK community still has atough financial road ahead. Fundsare tight, but with the help of Presi-dent Todd and UK president No. 12,hope will spring eternal.
