Tuition increases still unknown, remain under reviewBy Austin McNeill news@kykernel.com

With state budget cuts being atopic of discussion, some have won-dered how cuts would affect univer-sity tuition costs. Wednesday, mem-bers of the UK community came to-gether to learn about the possibilityof a tuition increase.

Angie Martin, vice president offinancial operations and treasurer atUK, addressed about 40 people at-Worsham Theater Wednesday about

the increases in tuition and manda-tory fees.

Martin said on April 23rd thestate government will set the param-eters of how much UK can raise itstuition. About a year ago, UKcapped its tuition increase at 5 per-cent.

“Students ask me how cometheir tuition goes up but they neversee anything,” Martin said. “I re-spond with ‘to teach a student thereare two things needed: state appro-priations and tuition. If state appro-

priations go down, then tuition willgo up.’ ”

The tuition and state appropria-tions are used for teaching, publicservice, administrative support and

scholarships, she said.This means if the state gives UK

less money, then students will haveto pay more money to keep UK inpositive numbers, she said.

Martin said UK has a yearlybudget of more than $2.4 billion.

“We are a non-profit organiza-tion, and we normally do not make aprofit.”

Calvin Hobson, a broadcastjournalism senior, went to the forumand disagreed.

”She [Martin] said that UK is a

$2.4 billion enterprise,” Hobsonsaid. “With that number I don’t seewhere it is all spent. I see a profitbeing made somewhere.”

Martin acknowledged 2010 asthe third straight year that facultyand administration would not re-ceive a raise.

Martin said the fate of tuition in-creases at UK is unknown rightnow.

“As of right now, there is morethat I don’t know than I do know,”Martin said.

Thursday is Earth Day, and twoUK students are doing something tomake sure the university has an im-pact on the environment.

Biology and anthropology seniorStephanie Hopkins has begun a proj-ect to reduce UK’s water quality im-pact by installing rain barrels oncampus. Forestry and natural re-source conservation managementjunior Christine Kuchle will use therainwater to create and sustain acommunity garden in the Greg Pageand Shawneetown apartment areas.

Hopkins is the first intern thatthe UK Student Sustainability Coun-cil selected. The council created theinternship with the focus of stormwater management in mind.

Hopkins said the SSC chose thistopic after the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency issued a consentdecree with respect to water qualitymanagement, and in response theLexington-Fayette Urban CountyGovernment announced plans to im-plement a water management fee in2010.

The SSC chose Hopkins out of15 students who applied for the in-ternship to take on the task of reduc-ing UK’s water quality impact, andher answer was to install rain barrelsto catch storm water runoff fromcampus buildings.

By capturing rainwater as it runsoff surfaces like rooftops and divert-ing it for later use, rain barrels candecrease the amount of municipalwater used for landscaping and pre-vent contaminated water from enter-ing the sewer system, Hopkins said.

Two UK students representedthe campus community at the na-tion’s capital this week.

Student Government PresidentRyan Smith and public relations sen-ior Katie Wilkerson traveled toWashington D.C. to lobby for theCollegiate Housing and Infrastruc-ture Act, which aims to change adisparity in current tax laws withnon-profit organizations, accordingto the Capital Fraternal Caucus web-site.

According to the website, thebill aims to allow tax-deductiblecontributions to not-for-profit stu-dent housing entities, such as frater-nity and sorority houses, to be usedfor the same purpose that a collegecould use such contributions.

The English department gives the DantzlerAward to an English senior for outstanding aca-demic achievement in the field, according to theCollege of Arts and Sciences Web site.

Save the last danceBy Katie Saltz

Audra Flanagan has been danc-ing for most of her life. In the stu-dio or on a stage, she often findsshe communicates best when sheuses no words at all.

“It’s really hard for me to ex-press myself a lot of times withwords, and it’s easier for me to ex-press myself through movement,and it really allows me to be cre-ative which I feel I really need inlife,” Flanagan said.

Although a business junior,Flanagan is also a dance minor,something she said has changed herlife significantly.

“I’ve improved so much as adancer, a choreographer, a danceeducator and an artist — it’s com-pletely changed where I want to bein my life,” she said. “When I first

came to UK, dance was not in thepicture at all pretty much. I was do-ing business, and the dance minorcompletely turned that around, anddance is my focus now and moreimportant to me.”

Flanagan has found that releaseat UK, but incoming dancers maynot have the same opportunity.

Tough Times, Tough DecisionsThe UK dance minor and dance

certification programs were sus-pended in November of last semes-ter, but the possibility had been dis-cussed since the 2008-09 schoolyear, said Kinesiology and HealthPromotion Chairwoman MelodyNoland.

When Rayma Beal, the onlyfull-time dance instructor, retired,the department began to look atwhether or not to hire a replace-ment.

“The KHP faculty met and vot-

ed on it twice, and both times unan-imously decided to take the fundingfor the dance position and fund an-other KHP faculty,” Noland said.

This decision was based on twofactors: the resources the dance pro-gram required and the low enroll-

ment.While the dance minor had 11

students, and the dance certificationprogram had three, Noland saidKHP saw a 33 percent increaseover the last two years. Out of 17

Reality star Gettinger is 400 pounds lighter andhopes uncovering her childhood memories will revealthe source of her lifelong food addiction

Ruby Gettinger's childhood is a frustrating blank. Shehas no memories of her life before age 13 memories shebelieves will reveal how her weight grew to a staggering716 pounds by the late '90s. Now less than half her previ-ous size at around 300 pounds, the Savannah, Georgia,author and weightloss ambassador has been on a missionto uncover her past on her Style Network series, Ruby(Sundays, 8 p.m.). "I'm this big puzzle, and I'm going to doeverything I can to put myself back together," says the5foot9 selfdescribed food addict. Gettinger, 47, tells Usreporter Ingrid Sheaffer about her painful journey.

Power of FoodI was scared to death to see a therapist, but it's one

of the best things I've ever done for myself. I realize thatI've been addicted to food my whole life. I wasn't eatingbecause I was hungry food controlled me. For Thanksgiv-ing, all I cared about was the pumpkin pie. In the morn-ing, I would take a slice. By the end of the day, I'd haveeaten the whole pie and would be sick as a dog. Therapymade me start questioning my food history. What was Ifeeding? When did this begin? I can look at photos ofmyself at 9 or 10 and see that's when I started gettingoverweight. By high school I weighed, like, 250 to 280.When you learn how it all began, you start healing.

Past Clues

"There's a reason you don't want to remember," mytherapist told me of the missing years. I know my sub-conscious is trying to tell me something because I havenightmares about someone trying to kill me. I can neversee that person's face, but something tells me I knowwho it is. I wake up hardly able to breathe, dreamingsomeone's hands are around my neck.

But the reason I want my memory back isn't toaccuse or assign blame. I would, if anything, want togive freedom to that person. I was shocked to hear thatmy mother was almost hurt. [Anne Gettinger, 75, recent-ly told Ruby at age 11 Anne had narrowly avoidedmolestation by a family member.] My childhood physi-cian's assistant "Dr. Dukes" has a theory she overfed mein order to make me unattractive to men so I would notface the same danger. I don't believe it. My mom wasalways protective [Ruby's father, now deceased, traveledfrequently for the Air Force], but she never forcefed me.Still, she definitely enabled me. It was obvious I overate,yet she bought snacks for me. She knew I loved creamedcorn, and she would bring it home for me. She's said shefeels a lot of guilt like she should have stopped it.

I don't blame her. I was the one who kept eating. AndI'm still trying to figure out why. I'm scared of hypnosis,but if I don't remember anything else and the nightmareskeep coming, I'm going to take that next step.

Spring affords the flowers a chance tobloom, while spring football also gives lesser-known players a chance to blossom and move

up the depth chart.With the annual UK Blue-

White intra-squad scrimmageset for Saturday, the last weekof spring practice and thescrimmage are the last oppor-tunities for players to maketheir mark in a position battlebefore the summer.

One such player that madean impression last season during the Blue-White game was junior-to-be tight end NickMelillo, who is new to the position after con-verting from wide receiver this spring.

“I was (inexperienced) last year, came inas a wide receiver, put on a little weight andkind of had a breakout game in the springgame with the two touchdowns,” Melillo said.

For many players, a scrimmage can’t beconsidered a breakout performance, but it wasfor Melillo. The Lousiville Trinity High Schoolproduct who transferred from Lindenwood Uni-versity in St. Charles, Mo., decided to walk onat UK.

The rookie Melillo finished with four catch-es for 43 yards and the pair of touchdowns tomake his presence known. Melillo continued

his progression as he earned more playing timeover the course of the season. He went on toplay in all 13 of UK’s game and finished theseason with five catches for 44 yards, but pri-marily served in the role of blocking receiver.

It was Melillo’s prowess as a blocking receiv-er and his 6-foot-2, 234-pound frame that madecoaches recognize his potential as tight end.

In an odd twist of fortune, Melillo is theonly tight end with game experience this spring,but that hasn’t changed his approach this spring.

“I’m still a walk-on, I still have to workmy butt off,” Melillo said. “Even if you’re onscholarship, you’re working to get betterevery day. If you don’t work hard, you’re go-ing to get worse and the person next to you isgoing to get better, and you’re not going to beplaying anymore.”

The people competing with Melillo for theNo. 1 tight end spot are redshirt freshmen An-thony Kendrick and Jordan Aumiller, a con-verted linebacker.

Melillo said all of the players competingfor the position are talented but they all needto work on their blocking.

Still, this spring is a different experiencefor Melillo, who became an unknown againlast year after his sparkling spring game.

“I think a lot of people were surprised (bymy performance last year),” Melillo said. “I’mworking for the two touchdowns again, and Ijust think people might actually know who itis this time.”

There’s only one thingworse than your nagging, de-manding girlfriend—your

bestfriend’s.

Ifshe’scrashingthe En-touragemarathonand com-plainingaboutESPN onthe TV,you can’t

exactly kick her out—she’snot your girl. When girls andguys get involved in the dra-ma of their friend’s relation-ships it can be a full out war.

While you can love andleave the total tool of aboyfriend you have, if it’syour best friend’s man that’sdriving you crazy there’s nota whole lot to do. Girl’s usu-ally hash out every detail ofwhat he does wrong, com-plaining to their other girl-friends, and when they areheartbroken the best friend is

left to pick up the pieces.One problem—if you

complain to your friend abouttheir significant other it’slikely to cause tension andresentment. Which is why it’simportant to pick and chooseyour battles.

It’s one thing if he’sspending a lot of time withhis chick and another whenhe’s actually ditching you. Ifyou’ve made set plans andyour BFF decides to bail—that is grounds for con-fronting.

Unless the battle is on thehomefront it’s best not to getinvolved. While it might behard to hold your tonguewhen you see your friend’sman being full out rude—it’snot your place to get in hisface. Even if he is SpencerPratt reincarnated, yourfriend will almost always endup running to his side any-ways.

If it’s just that yourfriend’s boyfriend/girlfriendannoys you and hangs aroundtoo much, the best thing youcan do before you snap is re-

move yourself from the situa-tion and deflate before sayingsomething you will regret.

And if you are left to lis-ten to your girlfriend gababout her boyfriend’s trans-gressions, it’s best to take aDr. Drew approach and justlisten. It doesn’t matter howmuch you run him down orplead for her to dump him.Instead, let her know it’s bestfor you not to get involvedbut that you will be there forher if and when he lets herdown.

Unless your friend’s rela-tionship is directly hurtingyou, it’s best to remain neu-tral. Getting tangled in thedrama of your friend’s rela-tionships is like setting off anuke and a sure-fire way tostart a war.

On Tuesday Graham,better known asDrake, along with

guests K-Os and Francis & theLights, will bring his “AwayFrom Home Tour” to UK.

Drake was born in Ontario,Canada, where he lived until heleft Forest Hill Collegiate Insti-tute in order to pursue a career inacting.

In 2001 he was cast to playthe role of Jimmy Brooks on thetelevision show “Degrassi: The

Next Generation.” He left theshow in 2009 and pursued a ca-reer in music.

He began to catch public at-tention with his 2009 mixtape,“So Far Gone,” which featuredhis first well-circulated single“Best I Ever Had.”

In the summer of 2009, Drakesigned with Lil Wayne’s YoungMoney entertainment label. Hisfirst LP is slated for a release thissummer.

The “Away From Home Tour”

will take Drake to college cam-puses across the nation. His ap-pearance at UK shouldn’t be asurprise for many, as the rapperwas spotted at numerous UKmen’s basketball games this pastseason.

“I’m just a natural fan. I lovethe team,” Drake said of UK in aMarch 21 New York Times arti-cle.

Drake made his UK debut atBig Blue Madness, where he wasa coach for one of the teams dur-ing the Blue/White game. He alsoattended games throughout theseason, including games duringthe team’s Elite 8 run.

Student Activities Board Con-cert Director Chris Duncan saidDrake’s affiliation with UK madehim an obvious choice.

“Last year when we booked

Jason Mraz, we sent out surveysand there was a big demand forhip hop,” Duncan said. “Drake’sappearance at UK games and thetournament made him an easychoice.”

The concert is powered byReverb, which launched theGreen Music Group. As a result,the production of Drake’s show,from the lights to the sound, isgreen.

In addition to being as energyefficient as possible, there will be“Eco Villages” in the mezzaninesof Memorial Colliseum duringthe performance.

Tickets are still available andcan be purchased at the ticket of-fice in the Student Center or atwww.ticketmaster.com. Ticketsare $15 for students and $30 forgeneral admission.

Hopkins said setting up a rain bar-rel-testing site on campus wasachieved at no cost.

“I was able to get seven rain bar-rels donated by the LFUCG as theywere beginning to deliver barrels tolocal residents for home use, for asmall fee,” Hopkins said.

Four rain barrels were recently in-

stalled at Shawneetown Apartments,all of which the city government do-nated. Beginning next spring,Shawneetown will serve as a test sitefor campus rain barrels as well as aneducation opportunity for students andcommunity members, Hopkins said.

Shawneetown Apartments are alsohome to another new addition oncampus.

Hopkins’ rain barrels were select-ed for this site because of Kuchle’scommunity garden project.

The growing community garden,paired with the rain barrels, has creat-

ed opportunities for graduate studentsliving in the complexes to grow foodusing the rain water for irrigation,Kuchle said.

Gaines fellow Kuchle began hercommunity garden project last fall aspart of a requirement of the Gainesfellowship. Each student is required tocomplete a community service projectthat a jury judges, Kuchle said.

“I initially thought the gardenswould be rather small, maybe 450square feet or so, but (there was) somuch interest in the project I nowhave 2,000 square feet of garden

space ... ” Kuchle said. The SSC, with help from the UK

Grounds Department, planted andsoiled the community gardens.

“Gardening helped me under-stand the importance of taking careof the Earth, of understanding howthe natural environment works, thevalue of health soil, the benefits ofhealthy eating,” Kuchle said. “Andthat if society is going to build a bet-ter relationship with the environmentthey need to get involved with it insome way.”

“Fraternities or sorori-ties, including non-profit or-ganizations, cannot be givenmoney to build homes onuniversities without taxesand losing their 501c(3) sta-tus,” Smith said. “The uni-versity can use the moneyfor anything, completely taxfree.”

Wilkerson said the cur-rent policy is unfair to thosesororities or fraternities thatown a house on universityproperty.

“It’s not really fair thatthere are some Greek hous-es that are owned by theuniversity, and the universi-ty can use that money onthem,” Wilkerson said. “TheTheta house is owned byTheta, and money can’t beused for [improvements].”

The current law only al-lows those non-profit organ-izations receiving donationsto use them for educationalpurposes, while the univer-sity can use donations onhousing, recreation or any-thing else. Smith and Wilk-erson said four fraternity orsorority houses do not havesprinkler systems, whichthey said cost an upward of$200,000, because the or-ganizations cannot take do-nations and improve the fa-cility on their own.

“There are a number ofhouses that need vital im-provements,” Smith said.

Smith said the bill origi-nated from the Committeeon Ways and Means andneeds to be attached to alarger one to make progress.

Strickland casegives opportunityto set example

For UK men's assistant basketball coach Rod Strickland,the fourth time should be the charm.

According to an April 12 Kernel article, Strickland was ar-rested on April 11 for his fourth drunken driving incident,among other charges. This is unacceptable.

As a former NBA player and assistant coach under JohnCalipari, Strickland is in the public eye at all times. He is a rolemodel to kids across the country, working closely with some ofUK's best student-athletes on a daily basis.

The last thing these kids and athletes need is to be lookingup to someone who has alcohol abuse problems. It seems as ifStrickland doesn't realize he's someone people strive theirwhole lives to be, nor has he fully embraced his mentoring role.

That said, UK athletics needs to do one of two things.One option is to fire Strickland. Sure, he was a great point

guard in the NBA which makes him valuable for recruiting,but the athletic department needs to do what's right for the stu-dent-athletes and the school's overall image. UK is a universitywith a zero-tolerance alcohol policy, and it can't have such ahigh-profile employee behaving in this manner — especiallywith the alcohol-related incidents students are involved in.

If the athletic department does choose to keep Stricklandon the payroll, he needs help.

Some type of treatment seems to be necessary —one DUImay be a mistake, but four scream there is a problem. GetStrickland help. Alcohol abuse is a serious problem, and if prop-er intervention isn’t taken to help resolve the alcohol issues, atthe very least allocate part of his salary for a full-time driver.

Maybe it's the constant, overwhelming pressure to succeed incollege basketball causing coaches at UK to behave inappropriate-ly, but the administration cannot sit back and pretend this didn'thappen because of a famous name and celebrity status.

Enjoyable school yearnears end, finish well

Hey guys! I hope you’restudying hard and preparing forfinals. As we enter Dead Week,

the end of thesemester isright aroundthe corner,and I encour-age you tohang in therefor just a littlebit longer.

First, Iwould like tothank every-one whocame out to

“UK Remembers.” This wasour first memorial service heldin remembrance of students,faculty, staff and alumni whohave passed, and the eventwill, without a doubt, becomea tradition here at UK.

Student Governmentwould also like to remind youwe are currently accepting ap-plications for our executiveboard. Several new positionsare available we want to fillthem with the best and bright-est students. If you’re interest-ed, descriptions of executiveboard positions and applica-tions can be found atwww.uksga.org.

While Kelsey and I havebeen very busy this past year,our Senate has been workingjust as hard. The Senate allo-cated more than $100,000,helping more than 115 studentorganizations this past year.

Last night the newly elect-ed senators were sworn in andare now ready to help yourstudent organization with yourfunding needs.

Is the heat getting to

you? Well we’re here tohelp. SG is now sponsoringLemonade Wednesdays. Whilewalking to class on Wednes-days, feel free to stop outsideof the classroom building andgrab a cup of lemonade.

Experience is the true path for learningFor seven years I wondered how

it would feel to graduate from col-lege, and for a few more weeks I

will continue toponder.

Looking back, Iknow I never ex-pected it to last thislong. People readingthis column may beshaking their headsin curiosity thinking,“Seven years? Itshouldn’t take thatlong!”

Others readingthis column know

exactly what I am talking about. You take a few years to get your

feet wet, test the waters and take afew classes you like — before youknow it you don’t even rememberwhat major you signed up for.

At this point, you’re a few poundsheavier, you don’t remember what agood night’s sleep is and you proba-bly have a severe addiction to coffee.

People change while they endurethis experience. Many grow intoadults while some regress into child-hood — either way when you walkout or flunk out, you will be differ-ent person.

The structure of college courseschanges every year, but the dynamicremains the same. People are forcedto take classes that may or may nothave anything to do with each other,causing students to change mentalgears like the transmission on a car.

The point is to teach studentshow difficult it can be to multi-taskwhile being subjected to multiplelevels of the “real world.”

Whether you fail or succeed is aresult of your own merit and ambi-tion. No matter how society, theschool or even your family judgesyour trials, only you can truly saywhich side of the coin you belong.

Grades don’t determine a per-son’s wealth any more than moneydoes. Good grades help a student thesame way money helps provide op-portunity, but neither define some-one or their worth.

Grades measure the scale onwhich someone learns, helping todefine what is the average of theclassroom. Unfortunately bad gradeswill hold you back from completionof the educational process, but justbecause someone gets a D in acourse doesn’t mean they did notlearn or did not try.

In seven years, I have picked upa few D’s — and as I tell my familyand friends, diploma starts with a“D” and ends with an “A.”

Those D’s will remain on mytranscript to remind me I passedthose classes. They were the ones Inever thought I could get through,and although by the skin of myteeth, I did it.

Letter grades measure youagainst the average of the classroom,but people learn in different ways.Individuals make up society, and inorder to maximize their true poten-tial to do so, they must be taught inthat philosophy. 

In the ADD generation we livein, it should not be overlooked thatstudents are dealing with the self-pressure, along with pressure fromparents and peers. As a result, somestudents are pulled a hundred direc-tions without being able to focus,without the help of methampheta-mine medications.

For most students it takes gettinghelp with studies, however a studentwith any sort of academic issue or alearning disorder must figure outwhat kind of problems they mightface thay could inhibit their abilityto grasp all the information they arecharged with learning.

It took a few years of this jour-

ney to get that concept, and the onlyway I was able to get assistance wasto seek it out. It was easy the firstfew years to party and hang out withothers who enabled me to not to dohomework or study, things thatseemed unfulfilling.

In hindsight, the only thing re-grettable about those years was howunrewarding they were because Ididn’t tell enablers I needed to be re-sponsible. No matter how much funthey were having getting drunk andbeing social, I needed to be havingfun being responsible to my goals ofgraduation.

It sounds so much like an adultto put it that way, but it is the truth.

I have quit drinking and smokingwhile I have been in school, and theresult was an increased ability tocomprehend what I was being taught.

I lost a whole bunch of acquain-tances but didn’t lose any friends,and the grades measuring me againstthe class have only risen.

I did not get involved in the“college aspect” of school. I didn’tdo the Greek thing, join any clubs orparticipate in Student Govern-ment. My college experience wasmore about learning what effort is— what you give is what you get.

I learned everything the hardway, and for this I am a smarter per-son, but it left a few scars.

I met a lot of great students, pro-fessors and administrators. I broad-cast over the airwaves of WRFL andwrote a bunch of articles for theKernel. I cut down a ton of red tapeand learned how to say ‘I’m sorry’to those who put it up. 

Most importantly I learned aboutmyself. I learned what it is like togrow up, and when I walk out of herefor the last time, I will know whichside of the coin I chose to be on.

dance classes offered, Nolandsaid the majority did not serv-ice the entire department.

Noland said dance classeswill still be offered but notenough to fulfill a dance minor.

“It’s a big job to run 17classes with one teacher,” shesaid. “It was really complicat-ed. We hated to do it.”

Out of the loopWhile discussions about

suspending the program hadbeen in the works for morethan a year, Beal said shewas surprised at the way thenews reached her and herstudents.

Beal said she was for-warded an e-mail sent byNoland inquiring how to sus-pend a program. After that,she did not hear anything

more until her dance studentscame to class with a letter.

“(The students) didn’t getany information from Dr.Noland until right before theirdance concert in November,”Beal said. “Not until one ofthem told me, I didn’t knowthey had gotten a letter.”

The reactions of the dancestudents were mostly of dis-belief and many changed theirplans, which originally in-cluded studying dance.

“They were shocked,” shesaid. “All of the students thatwere coming in thinkingdance was going to be avail-able, a bunch of them totallydropped their plans.”

Kelsey Shackelford, anarts administration juniorwith a dance minor, said shefelt more than just shockwhen she found out the pro-gram was being suspended.

“I was sad, and I was alsoangry, because I feel likedance is always the first thing

to go, and I feel the universitydoesn’t always look at thearts, especially dance, as a le-gitimate area of study orwork,” she said.

Shackelford said removingthe dance minor is a step back-ward for UK in its top-20 goal.

“I know (the administra-tors) are really big on the top-20 plan,” she said. “ ... Al-most all the other schools onthe top-20 plan have somekind of a dance program.”

Noland said all studentsenrolled in the minor and cer-tification programs will beable to finish their studies.But all incoming students willnot be able to complete thosefields of study at UK.

Shackelford will be ableto complete her minor, butsaid she feels the decision toeliminate the program willhave a negative effect on re-cruiting arts students to UK.

“I honestly don’t know ifI would have come to UK if Iwasn’t able to dance at all,”she said. “ ... If there hadn’tbeen any dance here otherthan dance team, I probablywouldn’t have come.”

Noland said she under-stands the risk of losing stu-dents interested in dance butbelieves the resources mustbe spent on where the moststudents would benefit.

“We would lose a few stu-dents, but our numbers show itwouldn’t be very many,”Noland said. “You have to bal-ance it out and see what wouldservice the most students.”

Looking for a new homeThe dance program at UK

is under the College of Edu-

cation because of its historyas part as physical education.But as the funding runs short,Beal and the dance studentsare still campaigning for achange of heart in the admin-istration, or at least a changeof venue.

“If the provost hadn’t saidto the (KHP) department,‘Well you can have anotherperson in health promotion,’then there would be money fora full-time person in dance,”she said. “Whether or not hecan be persuaded to change hismind, I don’t know.”

Beal said dance is a funda-mental element of arts educa-tion and could fit in the Col-lege of Fine Arts, if fundingwas available.

“I think theatre would beinterested in having dance be-come part of the College ofFine Arts, but it can’t do itwithout a full-time fundingline,” she said.

Noland said she believes

dance does have a place atUK, it just might not haveroom in the College of Edu-cation at this time.

“I think the dance minorhas a rightful place in theCollege of Fine Arts — theproblem is they don’t havethe resources,” Noland said.“I think dance at UK is reallywonderful. But our depart-ment told us ‘you can’t doeverything,’ and we are reallysorry about that.”

Wherever the dance pro-gram ends up residing, Flana-gan said she just hopes it ex-ists so others can have thechance she had to live out herpassion.

“Dance is not a big thingwhere I’m from in Kentuck,yso it’s very important for meto educate others about danceand the importance of dance,”she said. “Knowing that oth-ers aren’t going to get thesame opportunity I had isvery heartbreaking to me.”
