Our View Situation: By state mandate, Eastern must reduce 40% of our waste-stream, but we are currently at 33%. Stance: As a whole, we can get to 40% reduction easily with just a little bit of cooperation and action, but we shouldn't stop there. Eastern students ought to do a much better job recycling.

Late last month, the city of Lexington announced that it would do something innovative with existing infrastructure. No, of course I don't mean preserving historically or economically significant buildings and local businesses; Lexington would never think to do that.

Just out of curiosity, as an avid UK fan, mother of a former student and employee of UK, what's up with the fact that in a time of budget cuts due to funding and raising student costs the only one person ranks a bonus when all those hard working employees making him look so good don't even get their modest 2 percent raise?
Does President Lee Todd not open the windows of his ivory tower long enough to hear how disgruntled most of his employees and students really are?
The budget cuts in the departments that may not put UK in the top-20 bracket, but they have brought the university quite a bit of versatility and notoriety.

If you've been keeping up with my writing the last few weeks, you probably have a good idea about my beliefs regarding our university's lack of regard for students. As of yet, I still lack contrary evidence to show that my rebukes of UK are ill-informed or misplaced.

I served under President Sidney Ribeau until 2002. I only talked with him once and said hello a few times, yet my sense of him is that he is trustworthy, kind, wise and a fine leader from whom we can still learn by noticing his qualities.
President Ribeau said many great things, but his silent behavior spoke loudly about the value of trusting and kindness.

The IRS just gave Ball State University an excuse to limit the use of university-owned cell phones and PDAs.
