NEWS The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 8, 2005 - 7A LEO Continued from page 1A being treated. Walsh was one of the lecturers who began recruiting other lecturers to form a union about three years ago, when LEO was in its grassroots stages. "We have a contract, and from our point of view it's not being honored," he said to his class. Walsh spoke about issues including the reclassifications and delayed pay increases that have been plaguing LEO. "The University has gotten stupid and now has long-winded procedures for lecturers to get raises who've completed their reviews," he said. "It's incredible foot-dragging." Most students in Walsh's class were aware of problems between the University and the union last year and asked if any improvements have been seen since. Walsh said some advances have been made, but not all of the problems have been addressed. He also said there is a great disparity concern- ing the treatment of lectures in different academic units. LSA senior Priyanka Shah, a student in Walsh's class, said after listening to Walsh's teach-in that it made her think about how lecturers have dominated her undergraduate education. "They are our teachers. I've barely been taught by profes- sors, so I think as students we need to support them in any way we can," Shah said. Kate Mendelhoff, also an RC drama lecturer who helped organize LEO in its initial stages, said she feels comfortable in her position as a lecturer because of the autonomy and security she has over how things are run in the RC. As a lecturer IV - meaning one who has administrative as well as teaching duties - she related her past experiences working as a part-time lecturer, which provided little job secu- rity, to similar problems currently being faced by lecturers in different academic units. "It can't help but be detrimental to creativity (in forming les- sons). As a teacher, I need to be planning work rather than wor- rying about whether I'll be working next semester," she said. INSURANCE Continued from page 1A Requiring students to purchase a University health insurance plan could help eliminate this problem and be helpful for sick, uninsured stu- dents that struggle to pay their medical bills. The health insurance plan for international students serves as a case study for why requiring domestic students to purchase a health care plan may be a good idea. The plan for international students costs nearly $1,000 less than the domestic plan even though there are only a few small differences in service between the two, said Karen Klever, student insurance manager for UHS. The difference in price, she said, can be attrib- uted to the fact that the international plan is man- datory for all international students. Healthy and unhealthy students alike must buy it, keeping the price down for everyone. "If the University required that everyone be. insured, the cost of the domestic plan would drop sharply," she said. Winfield said he thinks the University should consider requiring all students to have insurance. He said that in the past, uninsured students have had to refuse expensive but necessary treatment, while others were forced to quit school to pay medical bills. According to a 2003 study by the Kaiser Foundation - a nonprofit organization for public health research - people without insur- ance are about three times more likely to skip treatment or not fill a prescription. "In spite of the cost, I believe it's always pru- dent to be insured," Winfield said. About 25 percent of public universities with more than 10,000 students currently require that their students be insured, including Michigan State University, Ohio State University and the University of Minnesota, said Steven Beckley, a private health care management consultant. But not all universities want mandatory health insurance, Beckley said. Some schools have phased out their university-run medical insurance plans, he said, because they decided students could find a better value and quality of service elsewhere. "There are also fears that requiring insurance will adversely affect the most at-risk students and make it even more financially difficult for them to attend college," Beckley added. According to last year's U.S. Census, 19 per- cent of American college students are currently uninsured. But that figure does not include stu- dents above the age of 24, who are no longer eligible for insurance provided by their parents' employers. The actual figure is closer to 30 per- cent, Beckley said. The percentage of uninsured students at the Uni- versity is unusually low, said Beckley. According to a UHS survey conducted in April 2000, only 3 per- cent of undergraduate students and 3 to 7 percent of graduate students do not have health insurance. UHS recently finished another survey of all three University campuses, Winfield said. The survey was intended to gather statistics on the number of students without insurance and how they would feel about being required to buy it from the University. Survey results have not yet been released, but Winfield said UHS will take them into account when deciding what stance to recommend to the administration. Winfield added that regardless of whatever changes UHS eventually decides to propose, any concrete action would take at least two or three years. "I'm not even sure I'm going to support it yet," he said. HAZING Continued from page 1A Eklund said. The hazing victims were pledges, she added. Haughee said GARP and the IFC have notified ZBT's national organization of the campus chapter's hazing violations. The national organization, however, has not imposed further restrictions on the house, he said. The allegations brought against ZBT are the first against any organization in the Greek community this semester, Eklund said. "The Greek community has worked hard to reduce, if not eliminate, haz- ing this year, with their educational website and programs for new members," Eklund said. "I think it's had a good impact, because in addition to few accusa- tions, there have been many fewer rumors about hazing this year." Amber Leigh Lowden, a member of the Hazing Task Force, agreed. "I think we are taking important steps to let the community know that there are more effective ways to welcome new members to an organization than haz- ing," Lowden said. "People have been more vocal about hazing, and for the campus to be so alert now is very encouraging, especially after last semester." Two Greek organizations - the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority and the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity - also faced charter revocations from their national organizations last semester because of hazing and risk management allega- tions. Last February, GARP also suspended Sigma Alpha Epsilon from the IFC and placed the fraternity on an additional 15 weeks of social probation due to the organization's continued violations of the Greek social policy. UHS Continued from page 1A clinic after injuring his shoulder in an attempt to make an interception dur- ing a flag football game. "The physician was very knowledgeable," he said. "They gave me medi- cation and told me how to rehabilitate." Winfield stressed that UHS takes complaints seriously, and is "always, always trying to make the quality of health care better." "When (service) breaks down, it's not typically due to the person not car- ing - it may be due to the system, maybe we don't have the right process (or) the right knowledge," he said. "The people that work here want to be here and want to do a good job." the michigan daily I NOW & FALL 2006. 2 bdrm. apt.

LANGUAGE, organimza- tion, format. All disciplines. 25 yrs. exp. 996-0566 or writeon@htdconnect.com For Thursday, Dec. 8, 2005 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel quite willful today, especially about matters related to poli- tics, religion, travel or foreign countries. Education is a touchy subject too. Remain calm. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have definite ideas about how you want to dispense with a certain amount of money (or how to deal with some- thing related to garbage or recycling). First, hear what others have to say. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid heated arguments today. Today's Full Moon brings stress to your closest relationships. Make no demands on them. Wait until tomorrow to state your desires. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The best way to handle today is to be patient at work. Don't get your belly in a rash. Everyone can feel today's Full Moon - especially you! (Keep smil- ing.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Parents must be patient with children today. Children and animals can feel the Full Moon too. Remember that true gen- erosity is giving what is needed, and isn't important. Try to let go of this fixa- tion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel a bit obsessed about buying something today. Something having to do with money or possessions has you by the throat. Resist this feeling. It will pass very quickly. (Trust your common sense.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're so enthused about something today that you want everybody to agree with you. Don't go overboard trying to get this result. Learn to live and let live. (It's easier.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might come across an unusual secret today. Do not use this information to manipulate others. Be discreet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might attract someone to you who is intent on convincing you of some- thing. Possibly, you're trying to do this to someone else. Either way, this is not skillful. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Someone might try to exert unreason- able power over you today. Or perhaps you will have to fix what is broken. People make demands on your time "frah-id JA TREE CITY PROPERTIES Houses Available 2006 MCKINLEY TERRACE: LARGE 1 & 2 bdrm. apts., dishwasher, balcony/patio & FREE winter shuttle around central & north 7 Bdrn: 5 Bdrm: 5 Bdrm: 3 Bdrm: 1102 Prospect 407 Hamilton 915 Greenwood 1219 Packard $4000 May 06 $3200 Fall'06 $2500 May '06 $1650 Fall'06 !!!BARTENDER WANTED!!! $300 a day potential, Age 18+ ok.
