of higher education, university President
John Palms said the chance of
a 5-percent cut in the state higher ed:n"'

"But we're very determined. Our strategic

funding, not a decrease.
"It would be very disturbing for us

Palms said he and other members
of the administration are working to
convince the state Legislature that a
cut in the higher education budget

"There's no specific amount," said
by- Paula Kraul at Student Health Serine
vices. "But Vanderbilt does require
that every student be insured. If they
rig, are under their parents' plan, they
don't need any other coverage."
Vanderbilt offers specialized clinics
for dermatology, allergies, sports
:30 medicine and family planning, as well
as a general medical clinic,
ap- "Students can receive free condoms
,ns if they talk to one of our practitioners
first," Kraul said.
m_ There are two full-time physicians,
lce five full-time nurse practitioners, a
psychiatrist, a psychologist and a soe]_
cial worker at the health center.
Last school year, the health center
^ ! recorded between 27,000 and 28,000
outpatient visits for ailments ranging
, j from sinusitis to gastro-intestinal probj
lems, Kraul said,
j "When we offered free flu shots on
site to dorms last year, we gave away
between 800 and 900 shots in three
days," Kraul said.
B Vanderbilt provides a confidential
$15 HTV test. Birth control pills range
from $5 to $7 per pack, and flu shots
are $5 each.
Junior Patrick Pitman said the distance
from where he lives to the health
Igp center is convenient because he doesn't
mmm have a car, but he added that accessibility
doesn't compensate for relia
mi uintj.
"There's a joke around Vandy about
the health center," Pitman said. "If
you're ever sick with a cold or the flu,,
they'll give you the blue pills. The blue
pills are like a generic handout."
Arkansas students pay a $36 health
fee per semester, which covers visits
to physicians, health educators and
M stress counselors, said Laverne Proctor-Streeter,
assistant director at the
University Health Center.
The price of insurance through the
university is about $250 per semes*
ter, but only international students
ivllah are squired to have it, she said.
"We found that in the past, a large
number (of internationals) would come
without insurance and would have to
Tgo to another hospital," Proctor-Streetsr
said.

goals is to implement property tax re
nei ior o.u. citizens, raims said it is
possible to achieve that goal without
hurting higher education.
"There are a lot of ways to give property
tax relief without cutting higher
education," Palms said. "Fifty percent
of property tax goes to education K
through 12. How much property tax
relief do we really want to have?"
Palms said he will make sure the
legislators know a tax cut will increase
the cost of a university education.
"We have made it pretty clear that
the cuts will result in a sizable tuition
increase," he said. "It will be a real tax
increase for those who attend universities
and colleges."
Florida students are charged $4.32
per credit hour for their health fee.
"Each year, it goes up," said Mag
gie Tucker at the Student Health Care
Center.
Insurance isn't required, but it's
"highly recommended," Tucker said.
For infirmary insurance, the cost
is $100 per year, and for major medical
coverage, $500 per year is the normal
fee.
Florida's health center employs seven
physicians, six physician assistants
and nine nurse practitioners. There
also are 22 registered nurses.
Services at the health center include
women's care, orthopedics, dermatology,
mental health and nutrition.
^ There are about 120,000 outpatient
visits per school year, or 500 per day,
1 Tucker said.
Students commonly visit the health
center when they're sick with the flu
or a cold, when they need birth control
or when they need to be treated
for AIDS, STDs or broken bones, Tucker
said.
Students also can receive dental
care from Shands Teaching Hospital,
where UF medical students attend
classes. Shands isnt part ofUFs health
care system.
"Most students go to the infirmary
. because they don't have to pay to see
someone," junior Rachel Harm an said.
"If you go to Shands, you have to pay
big time."
Junior Emily V. Troiano said, "Every
time I've gone to the infirmary, I've
been pleased."
UF offers confidential HIV tests for
$25.
"Right now, it's free for February
because the AIDS/HIV committee
funds the cost of the test," Tucker said.
Flu shots are $10 each, and birth
control pills are $3.50 to $8.50 per
pack.
"Medicine and lab fees are really
cheap," said senior Josh Fryman, who
has received inexpensive dental care
at Shands.
At the Brooks Health Center, students
have access to general medicine,
family planning, women's care and
counseling, nurse Shirley James said.
Insurance isn't required, but the
o/*Unn1 rlnna nfToi* Q ofli?1aw ^am

$338 per year that covers accidents.
The health fee is included in the student
fee.
Between 12,000 and 13,000 outpatient
visits are reported each year,
James said.
The most common ailments are upper-respiratory
infections, urinary
track infections, stress counseling and
preventive and family planning.
Brooks is staffed by three full-time
nurses, a psychologist and a dietitian
for mental and nutritional health.
The health center doesn't offer flu
shots, but birth control pills and HIV
tests are free.
