Budget cuts could be ‘devastating' to LCC

Education: LCC's president says funding cuts could hurt
progress as enrollment continues to rise each year

By Matthew Towner

STAFF WRITER

The possibility of a 9
percent cut in higher educa-
tion funding means more

munity College as it strug-
gles with too many students
and too little money.

LCC President Jim Ker-
ley said the latest round of
cuts could severely hinder fu-

"I don't know how far we
can keep growing." he said.
“If we were to have another 9
percent cut. it would be dev—
astating to our progress."

Among its 18 benchmark
institutions. LCC ranks last
in funding. partially because
of rapidly increasing enroll-
ment. which is now above
8,000. The school has an allot-

ment of $3.679 for each full-
time student. In contrast.
LCC's benchmarks spend an
average of $6.818 per full-
time student.

Despite the funding and
space challenges. the col-
lege‘s enrollment rose ap-
proximately 7 percent again
this semester. according to
LCC officials,

“We've always been low
on the funding end." said
Krista Whitaker. LCC‘s re-
source development coordi-
nator “But there are definite-
ly more challenges ahead.“

Whitaker said that it is
too early to forecast what im-
pact the cuts would have.

Kerley said LCC might
not be able to offer a full

complement of classes. 0th.

LCC was already plan-

THEE NA’IKQN

Powell presents
0.8. intelligence
about weapons

Report includes pictures,
recordings and sources

ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS —
The intelligence informa-
tion, in the US. view. is
damning: Satellite images
of almost 30 suspected
weapons sites being
cleaned up before UN. in-
spectors arrived. Inter-
cepted phone conversa-
tions that suggest Iraqi of-
ficers were hiding evi-
dence from inspectors. Re-
ports that biological
weapons are already in the
field.

Disclosing intelligence
gathered by the govern-
ment, Secretary of State

Colin Powell, with CIA Di-

rector George J. Tenet at

his side, laid out some of

the specific reports that
drive President‘ Bush’s
case against Iraq.

The bottom line: The
government of Saddam
Hussein is manufacturing
prohibited biological and
chemical weapons, seek-
ing nuclear weapons and
long-range missiles and
maintaining contacts with
terrorists, including those
linked to al-Qaida.

Key to Powell's pre-
sentation Wednesday were
satellite pictures and in-
tercepted telephone con-
versations that he said
showed Baghdad cleaning
up suspected weapons
sites in the days before in-
spectors were to show up.

Iraqi officials dis-
missed Powell's presenta-

tion as a collection of

“stunts," “special effects"
and “unknown sources."

The release of such
specific intelligence —
and, in some cases, details
about whom it came from
— is extremely rare. Offi-
cials said they worried
Saddam‘s security agen-
cies may be able to identi-
fy the turncoats who pro-
vided intelligence to the
United States or its allies.
However, they said steps
were taken to prevent this.

Powell described some
sources as “people who
have risked their lives to
let the world know what
Saddam Hussein is really
up to.“

Almost unheard of is
the playing of intercepted
communications. Those
recordings undoubtedly
alerted those Iraqi mili-
tary officers that their
communications had been
monitored.

Of the audio record-
ings. captured by the Na-
tional Security Agency,
one was a purported dis-
cussion between two Iraqi
officers about hiding pro-
hibited vehicles from
weapons inspectors.

Another dealt with re-
moving a reference to nerve

Annual award recognizes
work ‘beyond academics'

Honor: Faculty, staff and students can nominate peers
for Sullivan Award, which honors heart, mind, conduct

By April Eaves
tonvtnisutih’c’ilizifth

Many students may over
look the importance of nonu-
nating their peers for the
Sullivan Award. which em
bodies 75 years of tradition
at UK.

However. one of the zoo:
Sullivan award winners says
this award is unlike any other

"This is the first time I
have seen an award given
based on their (students:
character. and who they are.“
said Amanda Holloway. who
was an English major at UK.

“This is a time for stu»

dents to give a friend a gift of

honor for their service." she
said.

But many students don't
know much about the award

Busola Adeagbo. a junior
elementary education major.
said she couldn‘t find the ap-
plications.

"I would nominate some-
one for the Sullivan Award if
the applications were tnore
accessible." she said.

Each year. one under-
graduate male and female of
the graduating class. along
with a person who is not a
s1 udent of the university. is e1-
igible to receive the Sullivan
Award.

The winners of the award
receive a medallion and cer-
tificate at May commence-
ment.

According to the Sullivan
award Web site. the commit—
tee is looking for individuals
who possess “such character-
istics of heart. mind. and con-
duct as evince a spirit of love
for and helpfulness to other
men and women.“

Faculty. staff and stu-
dents are encouraged to nomi-
nate individuals who devote
time to others through ser-

vice.

"The award is beyond
academics re it's the efforts
that the person has done to
improve the lives of others.“
said Carol Elam. chairwuman
of the 2003 Sullivan Awards
Committee.

Previous recipients in-
clude Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal publisher Barry Binghani
and former UK basketball
player Jeff Sheppard. But you
don‘t have to be a distin—
guished publisher or superb
athlete to be eligible for the
Sullivan Award.

"There are a lot of people
that need to be recognized for
their hard work and commu-
nity service. said BaRhonda
Dickerson. vice president of
Black Student Union.

though.

“Our budget has been
pretty stretched already. so
we have always had to be
looking for different ways to
raise money to provide pro-
grams for the students.“ she
said.

Some costly programs at

LCC are already experienc-
ing some financial strain.
meaning another cut could
be particularly damaging.
Robin Gornto. coordinator of
LCC‘s Dental Lab Technolo—
gy Program said her depart-
ment has changed its opera-
tions in response to the exist-
ing financial woes.

“We‘ve had to adjust the
curriculum and drop some
projects already." she said.
Gornto said that medical
programs with added equip-
ment expenses tend to expe-
rience the crunch more than
general education programs.

Whitaker said that other
programs. such as nursing.
could face similar difficulties
if the administration choos-
es to cut funding in academic
programs.

Erla Mowbray. the nurs-
ing program coordinator.

said that until any legisla-
tion is passed. she will re-
main optimistic.

“We've always been able
to fund our program, and
we're still hopeful the cuts
won't be needed." she said.
“But we‘ll deal with whatev—
er comes our way.“

Kerley said other states.
including Oregon and Con-
necticut are facing similar
problems. Whitaker stressed
that LCC is not the only in-
stitution facing an uphill bat-
tle.

“We're in the same situa-
tion as the university as a
whole." she said. '

Kerley agreed and said
he will continue working
with the deans council and
division Chairs so that the
school‘s mission of giving
everybody access to higher
education can be upheld.

Powell also said this is

Powell detailed intelli-

leged links center on a Jor-
danian named Abu Musab
Zarqawi, whom U.S. offi-
cials describe as affiliated
with Osama bin Laden.

Zarqawi left
Afghanistan after the Sept.

to Iran. Iraq and Syria. He

U.N. weapons inspectors wearing protective clothing and Iraqi
workers leave a shed at the al-Doura station for water purification
in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday. In a busy day across lrag, arms moni-
tors checked 10 missile, chemical and other potential weapons
production sites Tuesday, as 0.5. diplomatic pressure mounted to
possibly cut short the [ML inspection plans.

He has left. but follow-
ers remain in the city with
Saddam‘s apparent consent.
Powell said.

Zarqawi is tied to the
assassination of a US.
diplomat last year. and the
attempted bombing of a
tourist hotel in Jordan dur—
ing millennium celebra-
tions.

Zarqawi's group is also
tied to a network of extrem-
ists recently arrested in Eu-
rope. Powell said.

Powell also alleged that

Iraq had maintained ties to
al-Qaida before Sept. 11
through Iraq's embassy in
Pakistan.

He said there is some
evidence of a longstanding
non-aggression pact be-
tween bin Laden and Sad-
datn.

Unlike his allegations
of Iraqi weapons‘ pro-
grams. he did not offer
sources for much of this in-
formation. although he said
some came from al-Qaida
detainees.

Fun times: Owners designed entertainment center
with teenagers and college students in mind

By Steve Jones

‘ STAFF WRITER

Bars are not the only
place where college students
can have a good time.

At least that‘s the opin-
ion the people behind Lex-
ington’s newest sports and
entertainment business, The
Stadium, are banking on.

The Stadium, which is

_ located on Sporting Court off

Reynolds Road, is a 50,000-
square-foot facility with a
near endless list of games
and attractions that owners
hope will attract college stu-
-dents.

hands at the glow-in-the-dark

First impressions may

- ; over-21 bars such as Two
.' ~ Keys, Varsity Blue and Kitty
2 O'Shea's to shun The Stadi-
:I um as being too geared to

families and a “too whole-
some.“

With that in mind. Sta-
dium representatives said
they intentionally designed
their business to cater more
to teenagers and adults. not
to young children the way
similarly themed variety
restaurants like Chuck E.
Cheese’s and Gatti-Town do.

“I really don’t want peo-
ple to get the impression that
this is just another Chuck E.
Cheese‘s," said Tammy Mor-
gan. The Stadium’s market-
ing director. “If college stu-
dents come in here, they're
not going to see kids jumping
around in balls.”

Morgan said she's confi-
dent that any college-age stu-
dent would have fun if they
came to The Stadium. She
suggested it would make a
good place to bring a date or
a group of friends.

“Gatti—Town is a place I
may want to take my niece
or nephew, but The Stadium
is a place I would like to go
with my husband." Morgan
said.

Morgan said all of The
Stadium’s games are geared
toward group competition in
which customers can play

game where several players
race each other as “addic-

customers must purchase

Statements on wall
reinforce stereotype

It's frustrating when people treat
college students like immature, ir-
responsible hooligans. But it's even
more frustrating when college stu-
dents live up to that stereotype.

Last week, a three-panel display
was set up in the Patterson Office
Tower courtyard. Set up by UK’s
“Relay for Life” committee, it was
intended to be a “Wall of Memories
and Honor.” Every spring, “Relay
for Life” raises money and aware-
ness about breast cancer research.

But the display was turned into
a mockery. Though some wrote seri-
ous comments. others defaced the
wall with curse words. critiques of
professors and criticisms of Hal
Mumme. One person even had the
gall to write “cancer is evolution."

Obviously: such actions were
disrespectful ——~- both to the organiz-
ers of Relay for Life and those af-
fected by cancer. Breast cancer is a
debilitating disease that killed ap-

proximately 600 women in Ken-
tucky this year alone, according to
American Cancer Society esti~
mates. The ACS also estimates that
3,100 new cases of breast cancer
were diagnosed among Kentucky
women in 2002.

This isn’t a joking matter. One
person shared their personal story
on the wall after viewing the graffi-
ti other people had written: “I’m 21
and may not see 30 because of
breast cancer. Life is not a joke, and
neither is this.”

All too often. legislators and ad-
ministrators try to deal with col-
lege students like children —
whether through restrictive visita-
tion policies, bans against smoking
or prohibitions on cell phone use.
Students have a right to stand up to
this kind of treatment. But, if they
want their opinions to be taken se-
riously, they also have an obligation
to refrain from childish behavior.

Reaganomics not the
cause of '90s boom ‘

To the editor:

In response to the Jan. 29 column "History shows
Bush‘s tax plan will work." I would like to commend Wes
Blevins for denouncing all those pesky leftist nay-sayers
who insist that Emperor Bush 3 new tax plan will benefit
the rich and hurt the poor and especially the example he
chose to illustrate his point

Indeed what a great testament it is to the poor across
the nation. many of whom struggle to earn a living wage.
that a couple in Texas who generate between $80,000 and
$90,000 annual household income will save $4.000 under
the new tax plan.

If only he would have driven the proverbial nail in the
coffin by illustrating what a boon it will be to America‘s
working poor when the Nike Corporation saves an esti-
mated $14 million when “unfair double taxation on divi-
dends“ is also cut under the new program.

Blevins. along with the majority of neo-liberal micro-
economic theorists within the core of the empire, is living
with his head in the clouds. The world has never seen
such an intense concentration of wealth as exists today
and the gap between the rich and poor continues to grow
on a national and global scale.

For one thing to st
