green spaces have lower ratesof anxiety, depression andpoor physical health com-pared to those who live in theconcrete jungle.
In addition, the samestudy found that 15 of 24 ma-jor diseases were less preva-lent among individuals livingnear green spaces.
A July 2010 New YorkTimes article detailed thefindings of a study into acommon social practice ofJapan called "Shinrin-yoku"or "forest bathing," whichconcluded that subjects whospent time in the forest expe-rienced a 50 percent boost intheir levels of natural "killer"cells that are essential compo-nents of the immune systemthat battle tumors and viruses.
UK officials said they areaware of the short and long-term benefits of green spaceson campus, and are workingto increase landscaping andrecreational areas, as well asdevelop more opened spacesand sculpture.
"I have always believedthat it's our green spaces andlandscaping that defines ourcampus, and not our architec-tural abilities," Bob Wiseman,vice president for FacilitiesManagement, said.
Wiseman said a masterplan was drawn up in 2002by the architecture firm AyersSaint Gross, laying out thedesign for UK's campusthrough the year 2050.
As to why the HagginField site was chosen specifi-cally for the Honors Acade-my, Wiseman and others saidit was because of the signifi-cant advantages the locationoffered for that design.
"[Ayers Saint Gross] did acapability analysis and deter-mined that [Haggin Field]was the best location for thebuilding that did not requiredemolition," Warren Denny,UK architect, said.
The assumption for ad-ministrators is that as timegoes on, UK will become amore urban environment.
But the university wantsto continue to create similargreen spaces throughout cam-pus to give the school a look
of continuity with straightlinked green spaces.
"Students are just as con-cerned as we are about greenspaces on campus...we sharethis common issue," Wise-man said. "We will continual-ly change and improve toprotect our green image, butthe students of 2030 will con-tinue to recognize greenspaces but not the campus asit is now."
Still others don't believethat the university is doingenough to encourage an envi-ronmental agenda on campus.
"We should be plantingnative, indigenous plants, thatcan be of benefit in teaching,”David Atwood, a ChemistryDepartment professor, said,“using no pesticides or herbi-cides, encouraging birds andinsects to create habitats inthis ecosystem, and reduceour carbon footprint by plant-ing more trees,"
Atwood would like to seemore direct student involve-ment in the agriculture andlandscaping of campus, andthinks that students wouldgain from seeing a symbioticrelationship between nature
and the laboratory.UK is currently wasting a
valuable opportunity to teach,Atwood said.
"We have decorated thiscampus the same way thatsubstandard housing is deco-rated -- with the same plantseven," Atwood said.
Atwood has petitionedthe university to create an En-vironmentalism and Sustain-ability Bachelor of Arts de-gree which would be dedicat-ed to this method of learning,possibly allowing students theopportunity to take more di-rect hand in the environmen-tal aspects of the school.
For now, students whoare interested in green spaceson campus are encouraged toget involved in environmentalprograms already offered oncampus.
Students have beenworking together to make UKa member of Tree CampusUSA, and plant more treesthroughout campus, ShaneTedder, UK sustainability co-ordinator, said.
This effort has been wellreceived by the administra-tion, and the issue is beingexamined for approval, Ted-der said.
"There are plenty of vol-unteering opportunities avail-able at the Arboretum, oursustainability awareness pro-gram called Great Outdoors,and students can also checkout our community gardens,"he said.

“Red Tails” never takes off. The subjectmatter the trials and triumphs of the first everall-black U.S. Army Air Corps fighter group,nicknamed the Tuskegee Airmen is new. Yetthe film has no story to tell that Hollywoodhasn't told before.
It's derivative of other World War IImovies and entirely mechanical in its appeal.Emphatically mainstream in style and sub-stance, it honors those exceptional fliers butdenies viewers a challenging portrait of ourown history.
Tuskegee’s segregated airmen provedthemselves against the best the Luftwaffe had,including new fighter jets. They shredded theU.S. military's assumption that African Ameri-cans were not equal to the rigors of serving ina highly technical combat arm.
This movie (a longtime pet project of ex-ecutive producer George Lucas) isn’t aboutpeople, it’s about airplanes. The slickly filmedaerial sequences, directed by longtime TV vet-eran Anthony Hemingway, are engrossing andwell-staged; you never lose track of who’swho in the sky. Filmed combat has an almostindestructible appeal.
When the action moves into thebunkhouse, however, or to a wooden flirtationbetween one of the fliers and a bella signorinaliving near their Italian airbase, the film goesinto a nosedive. The best of the one-note per-formances is Terrence Howard's as the fliers’-commander. His verbal skirmishes with aracist senior officer (Bryan Cranston) wouldprobably have had him up on charges of in-
subordination, but his brooding intensity givesthe film its few moments of dramatic power.As his pipe-chomping second-in-command,Cuba Gooding Jr. is as flavorless as water.
The elements of John Ridley’s undistin-guished screenplay are relentlessly old-school,right down to a German wing commanderwho instructs his pilots to “Show no mercy.”The U.S. fliers are thinly characterized (thegung-ho youngster, the secret drinker, the ro-mantic), their barracks life an intense BoyScout atmosphere of virtue, loyalty and frater-nal love. Fighting for their country is their ut-most desire and, from all evidence, virtuallytheir only activity. There are some losses onthe American side, but the consequences offlesh meeting shrapnel are downplayed. Com-bat death here is sentimental, not horrific. Atevery turn the film pulls its punches. Please.We can take it.
The only real surprise here is how res-olutely apolitical the film is. In 2008, SpikeLee's “Miracle at St. Anna” followed the menof an all-black infantry unit through the Italiancampaign of 1944. His film extended longpast V-E Day, deepening the story by showinghow the men who won the war lost the peace.We know that life for the Tuskegee veteranswas no picnic after the tickertape was sweptaway, and I would have respected this film if ithad followed them through their subsequentbattles as civilians.
“Red Tails” is not the film they deserve. Itis a timid film about brave men.
‘Red Tails’ stays grounded
ition rises.”Students will meet on Feb. 7
to voice their opinions on thebudget proposal.
“Students need to start sayingsomething,” Cofer said. “Thegovernor isn’t going to personal-ly ask you if a tuition increase isokay with you.”
Before higher tuition ratesare approved, a board has tocome up with a rate that willhelp with the state funding cuts.
The Board of Trustees andCapilouto then set a meeting todiscuss if the percentage in-crease is beneficial or evenworth it, Fielden said.
“This is a difficult time forthe university and there is nodoubt that it is hurting every-body,” Fielden said. “UK needsmoney and funding to avoid thetuition increases.”

On Jan. 24, the United StatesSenate will vote on whether to cen-sor the Internet.
If the bill passes the Senate andthen the House, popular websites andcompanies such as Facebook, Twit-ter, Reddit, and Google will faceshutdown if they do not control usersand remove links and content the en-tertainment industry finds objection-able.
The bill is called the Protect IPAct (PIPA), and is aimed at reducingthe number of illegally downloadedmovies, television shows, and songs.Most of the companies that offerthese types of services are outsideUS jurisdiction. The bill allows thegovernment to block access to in-fringing domain names without dueprocess. Corporations could sue tohave links to infringing websitesblocked from search engines, blogs,or forums. The government and cor-porations would have the power toblock US advertisers and paymentservices from giving money to in-fringing companies.
In short, PIPA gives the govern-ment and the entertainment industrythe power to censor and shut downany website they feel is harmful tothe industry.
But PIPA will not work. Userswould still be able to access any siteby entering the IP address instead ofthe domain name in the address bar.Any person savvy enough to illegallydownload a movie or television showfrom the Internet will have the tech-nical skill to type a few numbers in-stead of words.
Instead, PIPA would cripplesmall, young Internet companies be-cause the bill’s language is ambiguousenough to allow copyright holders tosue any business they feel is not cen-soring well enough. These lawsuitswould bankrupt start-up companiesand kill Internet innovation. Further,popular social media sites could be-come targets for the actions of theirusers, and users who post copyrightedmaterial face up to five years inprison for each infringement.
Finally, the government would beinterfering with the infrastructure ofthe Internet. Experts believe a gov-ernment with the ability to regulatedomain names would lead to less se-curity for users.
The government and corporationsalready have the tools to fight piracyand copyright infringement. Theyhave the power to remove specificcontent, sue companies that provideservices that may be used for copy-right infringement, and to sue jour-nalists for talking about how to in-fringe copyrights.
Companies and the govern-ment would have no problem stretch-ing their new powers. The Recording
Industry Association of America hasused laws designed to fight large-scale copyright infringement to suechildren as young as 12. The enter-tainment industry even sued to banthe first VCRs and MP3 players.
In response, Web sites mostlikely to be affected by PIPA staged aprotest yesterday. Wikipedia andReddit blocked access to their sites toshow what PIPA could do to them.Google changed its logo in silent op-position. Craigslist put up a frontpage with a message that said, “Cor-porate paymasters, keep those clam-my hands off the internet!”
These protests have spurreda few members of Congress to droptheir support of PIPA, but moreneeds to be done. The American peo-ple need to send a message to Con-gress that reactionary tactics thatwould cripple small businesses andexisting social media just to sell afew more DVDs is not a step in theright direction. It is a step towardcensorship and a restriction on freeexpression.
The Internet allows forgrassroots political campaigns, al-lows protest organizers to overthrowfascist regimes, and is the platformfor one America’s fastest-growingand successful economic sectors.
The Internet should stay theway it is. Contact your national rep-resentative to oppose PIPA and anysimilar legislation. Tell Congress thatcensorship is wrong and the Internetis more valuable than the entertain-ment industry.
Do it before they can censor you. Roy York is a second year law
PIPA gives the governmentand the entertainmentindustry the power tocensor and shut down anywebsite they feel is harmfulto the industry.
Gov. Steve Bershear’s six-year budget, an austere plan that re-quires a 6.4 percent cut to UK’s operating budget, cannot come as asurprise.
Economic hardships, nationally and in the commonwealth, haveforecast difficult financial decisions for the government and the pro-grams that benefit from it.
While the governor can be commended for attempting to spreadthe budget cuts as equally as possible across the board, and the newbudget has included President Eli Capilouto’s goal to renovate cam-pus facilities, the importance of the state’s continuing support forUK and, indeed, all educational programs, cannot be stressedenough.
Capilouto said in an email to all students that the current cutsUK is facing will result in strategic and tough decisions.
This road is well-traveled, leading to tuition increases, wagefreezes and an overall less-competitive university.
We all must share the load, and it is egocentric to assume thatUK should be exempt from budget cuts.
But education is the most important tool for the future, and thesolution for many of the problems that plague the present.
The double talk of politicians’ commitment to education growstiresome, particularly when UK’s financial assistance from the statehas been cut 10 out of the last 11 years.
Capilouto has stressed his support for the university and pledgesto work tirelessly for its cause. We applaud his commitment andhope his continued efforts in Frankfort provide results that are bene-ficial to students, faculty and staff.
We encourage student organizations such as Student Govern-ment and the Wildcat Interest Group to voice their support for UK toour legislators.
The survival of a university is not a task solely endowed to itsleaders, though.
The more students who contact their legislators, travel to theCapitol to express their support and take a noted interest in the vi-vacity of UK, the stronger and louder the cause becomes.
Budget cuts are inevitable. We can only hope that the severemeasures taken effect the university and its population in the small-est of ways.
All must ‘share theload’ in respondingto budgetary issues
