...majority of the UC’s funds come from a $75 fee paid yearly by each undergraduate on an opt-out basis. These funds are held by the University and are transferred to a UC-controlled private bank account in $50,000 increments at the request of the UC treasurer, according to former UC Treasurer Benjamin W.

Now, however, with former Speaker Volodymir Lytvyn's bloc having made it back into parliament, Tymoshenko might co-opt his tiny faction as a makeweight, and give him the speakership as a "balancing" force. However, with their dramatic neck-to-neck racing, Yanukovych still retains a chance to get ahead of Tymoshenko and finish first. In this case, though, "makeweights" of the Lytvyn block and the Communist party who is also...
