Es College studei By College Press Service Although President Clinton's health-care plan and other proposals have stirred a great deal of debate, many questions remain as to what a national health-care system will mean to a college student population tnat nas changed dramatically in the past 20 years. The U.S. Student Association and the National Association of Graduate and Professional Students haven't taken positions | yet on any of the proposals put forth since Clinton called for a system of universal health care. USSA, which lobbies Capitol Hill on issues that alfect college students, plans a March 20 workshop to hear details of plans from representatives of the Clinton administration, Sen. John Chaffee, R-R.I., and Citizen Action, a health-care lobbying group. "We haven't heard that much about (students) in any of the talk," said Stacey Shears, who coordinates workshops for USSA. "We're very curious about where we stand in the scheme of things." I . USSA will form a position on health-care | coverage after the workshop, she said.

St Gina Pearson ^ Legislation and employment concerns coordinator for U.S. Student Association m tern that covers all subgroups. w For example, most younger students are P1 covered by their parents' policies until they o reach a certain age, usually 21 to 23. 111 However, older undergraduates who are ti< returning to school to finish degrees or pursue new ones, graduate students working on o master's and doctorates, research assistants, ei teaching assistants and adjunct faculty gener- rc allv must buv their own health nnliries m whether through the university or through private insurance carriers. Most colleges and p; universities do offer some type of health-care N coverage to these groups. in Older, working students have the toughest in time of it because health insurance is expen- aj sive, their incomes are limited, and they also tend to have dependent family members. ei According to 1991 Department of Education ei statistics, 4.1 million undergraduates were u, above 25.

Proponents of universal health care point ) these cases as reasons why it's important ) provide basic coverage to every American tizen. Yet, some gray areas still exist under lans such as the one proposed by President linton, Pearson said. "With the Clinton plan, the issue becomes icky because dependent students will be )vered under their parents, but graduate udents wouldn't be," Pearson said. The Clinton plan calls for health care to be lanaged by regional or corporate alliances, hich would contract with health-care roviders to furnish services. Three coverage 1 j i rr_ j r r puons wouici dc oirerea: ree lor service, ianaged care/health maintenance organizaons or a combination of the two. Basic benefits would include inpatient and inpatient services, doctor visits, lab tests, mergency and preventive services, drugs, >utine eye and ear exams, home health care, lental health and substance abuse services. According to a NAGPS issue paper preared by Carole Glover, executive director of AGPS Services, Clinton's plan would result t independent single graduate students payig about S 1,800 a year for health-care cover>e.

Although the Clinton plan has provisions for federal subsidies for low-income families and individuals, it's not clear whether graduate students would be eligible for them. In rhp nict fprlptnl nnlirv Kac hplrl fhot nroHnotp liiv puoi, ivuvtui |yv/uv^ nuo iiviu iiiai auuaiv. students shouldn't be eligible for programs such as food stamps because they voluntarily place themselves in poverty to gain a college degree. "There is a huge question of whether graduate students will be eligible for these subsidies," Pearson said. Similar questions exist for research and teaching assistants and part-time faculty, who likely won't be considered part-time employees because of increased costs. As employers, universities would have to pay more for coverage for part-time employees. "Colleges and universities probably are going to fight that," Pearson said. In recent years, adjunct faculty increased dramatically as colleges and universities CAlinKt tr\ rr\r\t> nritb ki ldnot />i 1 tf Doi<t JUUgUl IW wvpt HIIII L/UUgVl V.UU3.

Another unresolved issue is how out-ofstate students will be covered if their parents and their health-care alliances are located elsewhere.

Men also need to realize that ese behaviors don't automatically dicate a willingness to have sex. :cording to a survey by the nerican College Health isociation, one in 12 college-age en admitted to acts that meet gal definitions of rape. Most of ese crimes were committed under e influence of alcohol. If you're too drunk to understand woman trying to say "no," or if >u continue to have sex with a man who is passed out, you're lilty of rape. Listen to what the oman is communicating.
