Splash for service

PHOTO BY KALYN BRADFORD | STAFFThe entrance to the Mathews Garden, at the corner of South Limestone and Washington Avenue on UK’scampus.

When hurrying off toclass, it is easy to miss someof the more obscure aspectsof campus.

One such area is theMathews Garden, nestled atthe corner of South Lime-stone and Washington Av-enue.

The garden is a smallbreak in the bustle and as-phalt that makes up the ma-jority of UK’s campus.

Walking on the smallgravel paths through thedense green growth, only the

sound of passing vehicles re-minds you that you are in themiddle of a college campus.

At some point in the fu-turethe university plans on re-moving the garden to makeway for expansions in theLaw School.

Whatever room is left ofthe garden would be used as‘green space,’ or a parking lotaccording to biology profes-sor, Dr. James Krupa, whoalso says that the universityhas been vague as to whenthe garden will be removed.

The garden is cared forby Krupa.

“It is planned chaos, cal-

culated chaos,” he said.Mathews Garden is home

to over 300 species of plantlife, one of the most diversegroupings in an area of thatsize in Kentucky.

“In our region I can’tthink of a small space withthis many species side byside, including the Arboretumand the Bernheim forest,”forestry professor Rob Parat-ley said.

The garden attracts manyspecies of migratory birds ac-cording to natural resourcesand enviromental science sen-ior Stratton Hatfield.

ESPNU reported Mondaythat the Harrison Twinswould end their recruitingprocess Thursday at 5 p.m.

It is then that Cats fans

will want to be sure to tuneinto the networks showing of“Recruiting Nation,” as UKwill be considered in their fi-nal discussion.

Head coach of TravisHigh School, Craig Brown-son, confirmed to the Kernel

on Tuesday that the pressconference will be held at thehigh school and the twins willdecide between three schools.

“Maryland, Kentucky andSMU,” he said.

Aaron and Andrew Harri-son have long been consid-

ered the top package deal inthe history of high schoolbasketball. The twins willcombine to make up the mosttalented backcourt in thecountry at the next level.

Andrew assumes the roleof the lead guard on the court.Standing 6-foot-5, 205-pounds, he has outstandingsize for the point guard posi-

tion. He uses a combinationof speed and athleticism toscore in a variety of ways.But, it is his ability as a cre-ative passer and his competi-tive nature that sets himselfapart from any other player athis position in the class of2013.

Aaron is not only a spit-ting image of his twin broth-

er, but he shares many simi-larities on the court as well.He prefers to play off the balland has an excellent shootingtouch, particularly from 3-point range. His intelligenceand natural athletic ability onthe court makes him the topshooting guard prospect inthe nation.

LOS ANGELES — The music industryhas been grappling with the following ques-tion for the last few years: Do streaming serv-ices such as Spotify, which allow users to lis-ten to albums for free, cannibalize sales?Leave it to a banjo-wielding English folk-rockband to provide one very loud answer.

“Babel,” the sophomore album fromMumford & Sons released on GlassnoteRecords last week, has had the biggest debutsales week of 2012, selling approximately600,000 copies in the U.S., according toNielsen SoundScan.

That number, revealed Tuesday, bests first-week totals from such A-list pop stars as JustinBieber and Madonna and did so while beingstreamed more than 8 million times on Spotify

Before the release of “Babel,” the best-selling debut of 2012 belonged to Bieber’s“Believe,” which opened with 374,000 copiessold.

“You’re talking about a much differentartist,” said Dave Bakula, a senior executivefor Nielsen. “This is an album-driven artist.They’re not going to have one single solitaryhit that defines the album. People want every-thing they can get from this artist, and that’swhere you get large album sales.”

“Babel’s” 8 million-plus streams are more

than three times that of the previous recordholder, said Kenneth Parks, Spotify’s chiefcontent officer, although Parks refused to re-veal the title.

“Our streaming numbers sit alongside avery healthy sales volume,” said Parks, whoseservice boasts more than 15 million world-wide users.

Spotify has been criticized for offeringlower royalty payments than labels and artistswould get from album sales. Other big nameartists, such as Coldplay, have opted to with-hold new albums from Spotify during theweek of release, fearing that the ad-driven freeservice would hurt sales.

Glassnote Records founder Daniel Glasssaid that Spotify is “retraining people to buymusic through streaming services. Could webe getting better compensation? Yes, but I’mnot going to hold it back from them. That’sold thinking.”

Mumford & Sons, which will headline asold-out Hollywood Bowl show on Nov. 10,has been playing most, if not all, of the songson “Babel” live for months.

“The fans can take the songs off YouTube,obviously, but they want the produced album.So there’s still a record business,” said Glass.“For now.”

The garden plays host tostudents of biology, forestry,english and plant sciences - asmany as 1,500 students ayear.

“It’d be a loss of a teach-ing facility, a loss of historyand a loss of biodiversity,”Dr. Krupa said.

The university objects tothe garden because it believesthat it is dark, dangerous anda nuisance according to Parat-ley.

“This issue could easilybe fixed with a few lights thatcould improve the line ofsight into the garden atnight,” Paratley said.

According to Krupa andParatley there is no evidenceof anything bad happening inthe garden.

“I don’t really see a needto tear it down. It seems likesomething worth conserving,”

sophomore Roger Morrissaid.

“I think that they shouldkeep it because it’s very bene-ficial to biology students,”freshman Megan Hastingssaid. “I think it is significantto the state.”

“I feel like space in Lex-ington, especially aroundcampus, is limited, thereforevaluable,” chemical engineer-ing sophomore Nick Claytonsaid. “The benefits of addingspace to the university out-weigh the benefits of the bio-logical diversity, especiallysince adding usable space willbenefit the campus economi-cally during a time when wesee rising in the prices of tu-ition and housing.”

There are many whothink that the removal of thisgarden would be a disserviceto the university and its stu-dents.

“It’s basically the onlyoasis in the concrete jungle ofcampus.” NRES senior EricHope said.

student’s health.“If you are tired, change

your diet,” Irvine said. “Notdiet as in dieting, but the wayyou eat and what you eat. Eat-ing something every twohours and having three mealsa day is (a good place tostart.)”

Because health and well-ness is consistently a concernof college students every-where, UK’s SAB wanted tobring Irvine to campus toraise an awareness of beingwell.

“I decided that we neededto bring someone to campusto speak about health andwellness because I think it’s avery important issue thatneeded to be brought to cam-pus,” SAB’s Director of en-gaging issues Sydney Dobsonsaid. “We did research manypeople and (Irvine) was theone who we found to be mostqualified.”

Irvine has many otherqualifications that led to his

lecture on campus other thanhis popularity as a celebritychef. At 47, he was recentlyvoted one of the top 25 fitnessmen in America, has cookedfor the past five US presidentsand is a member of the presi-dent’s fitness council.

“For me, all of this is alifestyle,” Irvine said. “It’sall about how you eat andhow you exercise. I eat sev-en meals and do 1,000 push-ups every day. “

Before becoming as fa-mous as he is now, Irvinewas always active in hishealth. At age 15, Irvinejoined the Royal Navy andbecame the youngest sailorat sea. After becoming en-thused with helping himselfand others create a healthylifestyle, Irvine plunged intohis present day career as aTV star and lecturer aroundthe country.

Among the most impor-tant audiences to Irvine arechildren, schools and mili-tary personnel, all of whomhave to eat meals on the go,an unhealthy area in whichIrvine strives to improve.

Irvine’s visit was a great

way to make UK’s campusaware of healthy and un-healthy habits, according tostudents.

“I think this is a good pro-gram for students to get ahealthy empowerment,” Vice

President of PromotionsGabrielle Dudgeon said. “It’sgood for students to have mo-tivation to [improve andmaintain] their health, not justfor college but for their futureas well.”

“So wait. If you’re fromKentucky, then why are youwearing shoes? And you haveall of your teeth? Ha, what doyou guys even do there? Sitaround a play a banjo onsome farm?”

While it seems out-landish to the intelligent,these truly have been someof the greetings that havemet my ears upon revealingto strangers my current resi-dence: Kentucky. At first itwas baffling to think, peopleactually assumed we lackedoral hygiene-when mystraightened chompers werefresh out of braces-was noth-ing short of amusing! Andthen the whole, “You dateyour cousin” thing. This isn’tThe Hills Have Eyes, people.This isn’t West Virginia. (Ikid.)

But despite the knownstereotypes that seem to tar-nish anything of value, Ken-

tucky was actually built onsolid fundamentals-beyondit's biscuits and gravy. Ken-tucky's traditions are rootedin family and traditionthrough its music.

The hills of Kentuckyhave played host to some ofthe most valued contributorsto Appalachian music, span-ning beyond the region oftenbridging the gap betweengenerations of musicians andmusic-lovers alike. Countrystars, Keith Whitley, Wynon-na Judd and Angaleena Pres-ley of the Pistol Annies arelargely-known musicianshailing from small towns.Take a look at bluegrasswonder, Sam Bush. He'sfrom a different neck of thewoods in Kentucky, but froma small town nonetheless.Don Everly of the EverlyBrothers-a rather popularduo inducted into the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame in1986-is from little ole' Muh-lenburg County, Ky. Andlet's not forget Jim James ofMy Morning Jacket and lo-cal favorite and cello extra-ordinaire, Ben Sollee-bothborn and raised right here inKentucky.

And while those distinctcountry characters havesprouted up from time totime, they are especiallyswarming the isles of Wal-Mart. But this doesn’t solelyoccur in Kentucky; It’s hap-pening in any rural place.See, the problem here isn’tthe stereotype necessarily.The most hindering issue ofany stereotype is allowing itto fog the lense, the peersinto the true soul within theexaggerated culture. Thesestereotypes look past thefundamentals of the region.They look beyond the mu-sic.

But before any musicianseven had the slightest chancetoday, it was the old, rundown stereotypes of littlecountry fools, picking banjoson their front porches. It wasthe rags they called overallsthat hung on the boneyframes of men who livedthose ballads, and pluckedthose strings that inspiredanything at all. Kentucky ismore than basketball, greaterthan an accent and strongerthan it's horses. Kentucky is aplace of tradition, built on it'smusic.

After an impressive five-game string without a loss, in-cluding a big win at No. 18Louisville, the UK men’s soc-cer was deflated at home in abitter 4-1 loss to regional ri-val, No. 11 Indiana.

The unimpressive displaybroke form for the Cats (5-5-1, 0-0-1 C-USA), as they’veput in the 23rd-most goals inthe nation to this point.

UK’s lone goal came withfive minutes left in the gamefrom junior striker Tyler Rig-gs. Indiana’s goals came fromsophomore forward EriqZavaleta and freshman for-wards Femi Hollinger-Janzenand Andrew Oliver.

The first half was com-pletely dominated by theHoosiers, as horrific passingand porous defense from UKput IU up 2-0 at the 45-minutemark. The opening goal,Zavaleta’s first of the game,came three minutes into playon a strong look from the rightside of the goal into the oppo-site corner.

UK junior transfer goalieJack Van Arsdale had been abrick wall in the goal over the

past several games, but didnot look as sharp against theHoosiers. His back line didnot give him much to workwith, though, as IU strikersfound themselves with roomto operate near the box onmany occasions throughoutthe match.

Hollinger-Janzen’s goalwas put in with a minute leftin the half, the assist going toZavaleta. The goal wasHollinger-Janzen’s first ofthe season, and the assist wasZavaleta’s first.

The second half beganwith the Cats looking to puttogether a comeback, but thesloppy passing persisted andended up being the Achillesheel of the home team. Thepossession battle was won bya large margin by Indiana, asthe Cats couldn’t piece to-gether a strong drive for-ward.

It was 20 minutes beforeZavaleta netted his second ofthe game and team-highninth of the season. After Indi-ana landed the ball in the boxagain, Zavaleta tapped it intothe near corner.

Indiana’s Oliver put in onemore goal before UK foundthe net. The IU freshman was

on the strong end of a Hoosierdrive and put the ball into theleft side of the goal beyondVan Arsdale’s reach.

With ten minutes left inthe game, Riggs was able toscore his seventh of the seasonwhen a ball was lobbed across

the box to him, where hestruck to give the Cats some-thing to put on paper.

UK will look to reboundfrom the loss when they returnto conference play on the roadat SMU this Saturday at 8p.m.

PHOTO BY JARED GLOVER | STAFFFreshman defender Dylan Murphy heads the ball vs. Indiana UniversityWednesday night.

Although three schoolsare listed, it is thought to bedown to a two-program raceat this point. UK and Mary-land are the heavy favoritesand arguments can be madeas to why the highly covetedduo would call their namesduring the press conference at5 o’clock.

The track record of puttingplayers into the NBA speaksfor itself when it comes to UKand head coach John Calipari.

However, an argument canbe made that Under Armourwill attract the brotherly duoto Maryland.

In an interview with EricPrisbell of USA Today, AaronHarrison Sr. gives an indica-tion that a pair of shoes willnot be in the conversation as adeciding factor.

“They don't want for any-thing material,” he said of hissons. “They don't have to goto the NBA to take care of meand mamma. We are going tobe fine taking care of our-selves. The dynamics are dif-ferent. They don't want shoes.You're not going to get themwith a pair of shoes.”

All speculation will beput to rest tomorrow, as An-drew and Aaron Harrison willend their recruiting processand make one fan base veryhappy.

An eventful September for men’s and women’s soc-cer at UK has seen not only strong wins for both teams,but the drafting and passing of plans to renovate and addto the UK Soccer Complex.

The month had both squads capture wins atLouisville (ranked No. 12 women, No. 18 men). The menthen continued to five games without a loss, as thewomen went on to beat No. 13 Florida and previously-undefeated Mississippi State. The icing on the cake forthe two programs was the announcement of the new fa-cilities.

Betterment of the UK Soccer Complex has been amulti-step process, marked by the installation of a newstate-of-the-art field by UK Sports Turf in 2010, the con-struction of a high-definition video scoreboard in 2011,and finally the addition of bleachers which were movedfrom the softball field to the soccer field.

Finalized on Sept. 11, 2012, plans for the renova-tions/additions were ratified a week later by the CapitalProjects and Bond Oversight Committee. The new pro-posal offers a more comprehensive plan to give the play-ers and coaches what UK Athletics Director Mitch Barn-hart thinks they deserve.

"The soccer and softball complex is something thatwe have put a lot of time and effort into. (Jon Lipsitz),(Rachel Lawson), and (Johan Cedergren) have workedextremely hard to get their programs to the level that theyare at now, and now it's our turn from an administrationstandpoint to give them the facilities they need to takethat next step,” Barnhart said.

“Not only does it mean a lot to me to be able to sup-port our programs, but also I know it means a lot to thestudent-athletes to have SEC-quality facilities at their ex-posure. They work extremely hard every day to becomethe best they can be and represent UK the right way, so itis rewarding to be able to give them the facilities they de-serve.”

Barnhart mentioned UK softball head coach RachelLawson, as the soccer facilities renovations will coincidewith renovations and additions to the UK softball facili-ties that started this past summer. In fact, the proposal forthe soccer plans, which outlines $7 million worth of con-struction, also included the addition of about $2 millionto the initial scope of the softball construction.

The new plans for the soccer complex have playersand coaches alike excited for the future of their programs.

Sophomore defender for Jon Lipsitz’s women’s team,Arin Gilliland, believes the additions can do nothing butgood for current players, as well as future players.

“I know we have one of the best fields I’ve everplayed on, so surrounding it with locker rooms and standsthat we can show off will definitely be good for recruit-ing,” she said. “It just means a lot that the athletics de-partment believes in our program so much. I’m really ex-cited. It’s going to be awesome.”

The construction plans also have fans excited. “It’s about time we got new facilities for soccer.

They’ve been getting better for a while now, and theyneed a stadium to compete with the best,” said UK mar-keting sophomore Kyle Collins.

Sophomore mechanical engineering student AaronShearer was quick to add, “If they get these new facilitiesin and show them off, I bet way more fans will show (forgames). I know I will.”

The ultimate plan is broad and encompasses the fol-lowing: the addition of locker, shower, and lounge spacefor both men’s and women’s teams and also for trainingand referee rooms; new seating around the field; newbenches and team support areas on the sidelines; a newpress box; and a bridge connecting the soccer and softballfacilities.

Construction will begin at the conclusion of the soc-cer season in November. Softball construction is set to becompleted by May 2013, but the timetable for construc-tion on the soccer facilities has not been publically an-nounced.

The soccer and softball renovations and additionscome at a time of great physical growth for UK, as theschool introduces its largest freshman class and planscommence to add new undergraduate housing.

The soccer construction is one step in the right direc-tion for the growth of UK as a school and as an athleticspowerhouse, Barnhart said.

“We are extremely excited to put the final pieces ofthe puzzle together and create one of the best facilities inthe country. It is going to be utilized in many differentways, and will give our fans something to be excitedabout.”

Last spring semester, a friend of mineteaching a business course for executives at

the University ofLouisville told his classthat there were to be twokinds of grades for writingin the course: A and F.The logic, he explained,was simple. In the realworld, a well-written busi-ness proposal would beread and its author wouldhave a chance to be fund-ed. A poorly written pro-posal, jostling for attentionamong thousands of otherletters, would never evenmake it to his desk.

Of course, this kind of seminar and itsgrading policy was for professionals. Forundergraduates, though, there is still a lessonin this story. Writing matters, and when yougraduate — no matter what field you pursue— being able to articulate yourself maymean the difference between getting a joband being passed over.

So given that you are here to learn, howcan you make the most of college to becomea better writer? The following are someways to think about the skill of writing.

The first idea is that writing is a way tothink. Ideas come out when you write,which is why putting pen to paper is some-times the hardest part of starting an essay ora research paper. If you formulate your argu-ments as you write them, it makes sensealso to re-write. When you get to the end ofyour paper, start over and make the argu-ment clear from the beginning.

Writing is a process, and writing issomething that is learned. Even your profes-sors get feedback on writing, so you shouldtake advantage of the Writing Center, yourclassmates, and your teachers to bring outyour arguments and polish your style.

The second point is that writing is a way

to know. You cannot truly master somethinguntil you can explain it, whether to yourselfor to your intended audience. So even asyou read, you should take notes and summa-rize them.

If one of your reading assignmentsseems particularly opaque, write yourself anote that begins, “I think that the author istrying to say …” By explaining content toyourself, a difficult passage may becomeclearer. If not, take your summary to yourprofessor’s office hours and see if your firstattempt was correct. If it turns out to bewrong, at least you’ve given yourself achance to understand the material on yourown.

Finally, I’d like to suggest that writing isa way to communicate. In most endeavors, itisn’t good enough to know; you also have tocommunicate that knowledge, whether it isto complete an exam, apply for job or givevoice to a project that you really care about.Since college writing is relatively low-stakes, you should always be on the lookoutfor feedback. When you write a paper, readit out loud to yourself, share it with yourroommate and ask him to tell the argumentback to you. Or, bring the first two pages tothe Writing Center or to your professor.

If your professor assigns multiple writingassignments and takes the time to give youcomments, make sure that you understand thefeedback, that you make changes accordingly,and that the second paper is better than thefirst. Unlike the entrepreneur seminar inLouisville, your grade options aren’t A or F,and you do have a second chance.

Throughout your four years, read widelyand use the styles of writers you admire todevelop your own voice. Writing may be themost important skill you learn in college.

Before college, I was always surround-ed with people that looked like me. Thismakes sense if you know me as one ofeight kids in a family from a part of Ken-tucky brimming with a large Latino popula-tion.

As a freshman at UK, I was massivelybewildered by the lack of Latino students —especially in the sciences—and immediatelyfelt a missing piece to my character. Initially,my time was spent immersed in my studiesand always longing for the culture I was ac-customed to for the past 18 years.

This void used to be filled by a constantreplay of Mexican pop and regional musicand the unexpected sense of happiness frommy mother’s weekly call. But later into thesemester, not even having the soundtrack tothe movie “Selena” on infinite replay wouldsuffice.

So I began to actively recognize myselfas a Mexican-American student at the Uni-versity of Kentucky.

Whether it be reading an article in aSpanish newspaper or learning about inspi-

rational Latino leaders, I discover some-thing new with each venture. I am growingto see the lacking Hispanic student bodyfrom a hopeless issue to an opportunity forimproving UK diversity through involve-ment and consistency.

This realization comes at a perfect timeas UK commemorates Latin cultures withthe 2012 UK Hispanic/Latino HeritageMonth — culminating with a campus cele-bration on Oct. 4, 6-9 p.m. in the StudentCenter Small Ballroom. If you want to con-tribute to the discussion on Latinos in thesciences, please come to a UK SACNAS(Society for Advancement of Chicanos andNative Americans) chapter meeting — host-ed every third Wednesday of the month inStudent Center Room 357 at 7 p.m.

I hope you can all be inspired to delveinto your own customs and traditions, aswell as drift into the cultures of others.Such curiosity will always lead to a capti-vating adventure.

I felt the need to comment on the surprising behavior of two UK students Sundayevening.

I was called to help my daughter after a vehicle accident on Waller Avenue. When I ar-rived, there seemed to be a few young people loitering near the scene of this busy intersec-tion, some students out cleaning up yards from the football game parties. Two young ladieswere sitting with my daughter — they had been behind her and had witnessed the crash.

I was kind of stunned that there, at the corner of “Drunk and Rowdy,” these girls just re-turning from a Christian church retreat insisted on waiting with us because it was the rightthing to do.

We are cynical of the religious to our own detriment — the thought of a campus, or acity, filled with this kind of simple selflessness inspires me.

Thank you, kind young students.—Scott Rutledge, Lexington

The UK and Marylandbasketball programs aresquaring off twice in a littlemore than a month.

UK and Maryland tip offthe college basketball seasonFriday Nov. 9, christeningthe Jay-Z-built BarclaysCenter in Brooklyn, N.Y.

But a more prolific bat-tle between the two basket-

ball programs will takeplace Thursday — a deci-sion that will have FinalFour implications, at leastfor one of the teams.

The Texas twins, Aaronand Andrew Harrison, willdecide Thursday on ESPNUat 5 p.m. where they willplay college basketball.Their final three choices areUK, Maryland and the bare-ly-talked-about SouthernMethodist.

Recruiting analysts be-lieve the duo to be thebiggest package deal in re-cent years, and that bothHarrisons are can't miss fu-

ture NBA players who couldconceivably lead their col-lege team to a Final Four intheir likely one-and-onlyyear in college.

"Next year, when thosetwo are in college, I can'timagine they'll play a back-court better than them," saidEvan Daniels, national re-cruiting analyst forScout.com told the USA To-day.

The Harrisons are thetop-two rated guards and theoverall No. 3 and No. 4ranked players of the 2013class, according toRivals.com.

Their impact would behuge, especially at Mary-land.

Mark Turgeon is begin-ning his second year at thehelm for the Terrapins, tak-ing over for the retired GaryWilliams.

Maryland won the na-tional title in 2002, but havenot lasted beyond theNCAA 2nd round since2003.

Turgeon has been a headcoach for 14 seasons (Jack-sonville State, Wichita State,Texas A & M and nowMaryland), and has ad-vanced beyond the NCAA2nd round just once, withthe Wichita State Shockersin 2006.

In his first year at Mary-land, Turgeon went 17-15and the Terrapins missed theNCAA for the second con-secutive year.

Maryland got the No. 14rated class for 2012 accord-ing to Rivals.com, but noneof their commits ranking inthe top-50 nationally.

Turgeon needs to reel inthe Harrisons to turbo-charge his program and givethem immediate legitimacyin the elite basketball leaguethat the ACC is becoming.

Simply put — this is amust have for Maryland.

For the Cats? Not somuch.

Calipari has securedthree consecutive No. 1 re-

cruiting classes and nobodywould suggest that the beatwon't go on regardless ofwhat the Harrisons decideThursday.

UK and Calipari havemomentum on their side anda national championship di-rectly in their rear-view mir-ror. Although reportedly notcurrently targeting any otherguards for 2013, there is lit-tle doubt Calipari could ad-just and still reel in a top-tier class with or without theHarrisons.

It typically isn't Caliparileft scrambling, however, asMaryland's potential 2014Final Four dreams may bedashed before the 2012-13season even begins.

Harrison’s decision vital for Terrapins, not CatsPrized duo crucial to Maryland’s return

WASHINGTON — Whenexcited students tear into col-lege acceptance packets nextspring, many will find some-thing new inside: informationthat tries to make it easier tounderstand the costs.

The federal governmentand more than 300 collegesand universities want to makesure students “know before

they owe” what could be billsfor thousands of dollarsawaiting them down the road.

That’s what Richard Cor-dray, the director of the Con-sumer Financial ProtectionBureau, said this summerwhen his office introduced itscollege costs “shoppingsheet.”

“Students need to knowhow much their loans are ulti-mately going to cost, whenall the interest and fees and

other costs are factored intothe equation,” he said.

The push by Cordray’sagency and the Departmentof Education for clearer col-lege-cost information comesas tuition and student debthave been rising and house-hold income has been falling.With 7,000 schools across thecountry using different formsto show costs, scholarshipsand loans, it can be hard tocompare.

It’s also all too easy formany high-school students toglide over what loan repay-ments could mean later. Thedefault rate might be evi-dence of that. In the pastthree years, it’s climbed to13.4 percent.

Student loans are in de-fault when a borrower with amonthly payment is delin-quent for 270 days. The con-sequences are serious, andcan include garnisheed

wages, collection agencycosts and many years of a badcredit rating.

“Too often, students areleft without a clear explana-tion of what the costs meanor how they compare to othercolleges they are considering,and as a result, many studentsleave college with debt thatthey didn’t fully understandat the time they enteredschool,” Education SecretaryArne Duncan said last week

in a blog post.Duncan wrote to all the

nation’s college and universi-ty presidents in July, askingthem to use the college shop-ping sheet. Two months later,316 schools representing 10percent of the nation’s under-graduates agreed to do so.

They include the Univer-sity of North Carolina-ChapelHill, the University of Texassystem and the University ofPhoenix online schools.
