Student needs were considered in making the decision to cut back on hours, Carothers says. "THE PAST couple years, there really hasn't been a need to justify the extra expense," Carothers said.

Between 50 and 75 students visit the health % center daily during the summer. The facility is used by 250 to 300 students every day during the fall, Carothers says.

The university has an accident policy of up to $500,with a $12 deductible for lab work and X-rays, for every student enrolled in classes, Carothers says. The policy covers injuries received on campus or at school activities. A student getting care at a nearby hospital may file for the insurance through the health center.

Presidential candidate William Kreml ment is very stifling," and that creative ideas for reform generally come from outside the government. He said the academic community is where innovative ideas are best generated. "THE MOVEMENT (toward constitutional change) started in South Carolina to get national attention," Kreml said, but added that New England is "a small concentrated area with lots of colleges." He said he hopes this new campaign will enable him to "talk about constitutional reform at the national level." Kreml, who earned his doctorate from Indiana University in 1972, plans to enter the six Democratic primaries in New England and hold forums to explain the constitutional changes he feels are necessary. Faculty members of various universities will then explain how these changes could work to improve the economy and the political system. Kreml would like the United States to develop a parliamentary system similar to Germany's and Japan's. He says these governments have been able to make modern decisions that the United States is not capable of making. Kreml may face a long list of rivals for the Democratic nomination, including South Carolinian Ernest Hollings. sr students .> by f .locrs Hammond in Student Health Center. Heakut center
