The student health center found that 30 to 40 per cent of the students were covered by health insurance after a survey was taken by the health center last spring. tiiit i nr a i maaju; uwrftLi uiouiaiac company, Mutual of Omaha, covers 20 per' cent of the students at USC. The policy issued by the company covers students who have no other health insurance coverage including coverage under the student's parents. "There's no way to tell exactly how many students are covered," said Dr. Isao Hirata Jr., director of the student health center. "A small percentage of the students who responded to the survey might not have known if they were covered by their parents' insurance or not, but that's no consolation." 4uR\^ . 1 iBnh vi r *} he Business Ad- Sometime in leton Street, will the site of a istmas holiday.

Carothers, business manager for student health services. However, most college students are a relatively healthy group. This is the reason that a private inpiifOM/i" jt ^ - r r iiioui aucc uners health insurance at a $46.00 premium to students who have no other health insurance,"said Carothers. "ALL FULL-TIME students are automatically covered for accidents while involved in university activities and for oncampus accidents," Carothers said. This includes intramural sports and other athletics. This coverage, paid for by the student health center, takes care of up to $500. However, those students who must be sent to local hospitals for operations are not covered by the student health center. About 15 to 20 students every month are referred to local physicians by the student health center for problems that can't hp trpatorl O* ^ LCIIIC1 .
