About 40 per cent of the
students registered at USC do
not have health insurance
coverage, according to figures
from the USC Student Health
Center and a local insurance
company.
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

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."

IN 1971, according to Baker, the
university tried to instigate a
transit system running from the
Coliseum to anywhere on campus.
Baker said the project failed
simply because of lack of student
participation.
South Carolina Electric & Gas
Company Director of Transportation,
Joe Lowman, said a

"The results do indicate a
need for more hospital
coverage," said Warren W.
Carothers, business manager
for student health services.
However, most college students
are a relatively healthy group.

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

BOTH LOWMAN and Baker said
I that neither SCE&G nor the
university had any plans to try any
new transit systems. "Money is the
