Mexico, the
place to go

Things that I learned
during the past week
in Cancun, where it
never rained once
during the seven
days we were there:

.27; There are plenty of
alternatives to the
water, which are
good, compared with
the water, which is
really nasty.

A man with one leg
who asks "Do you
wanna get high?"
can scare just about
anybody.

. Bus drivers can get
pulled over too, yet
they can drive side-
by-side with inches
to spare for miles.

Horns are not used
enough in the United
States, evidently.

Organized tours are
not all they're
cracked up to be.

Words to know: el
bafio and alto. One
means bathroom,
handy when drinking
the alternatives to
the water. The other
means stop, good for
the bus drivers if you
want to be within a
mile of your hotel.

~ Foam parties are
really fun, but really
wet. Don't wear good
clothes, or take your
wallet for that
matter.

Boats can make you
feel like you're still
swaying a day later,
it not more.

.3,

Craig Kilborn can be
seen in an airport
and boy, what a
shave and make—up
can do!

" The UAB volleyball
team is really cool.

Cancun is a great
place to go if you
don't mind coming
back with no money,
except five pesos.

*1 It seems really hard
to find a decent
place that airs
college basketball
where you can chill
and eat.

UK to cover costs of insurance

A sigh of relief: Monthslong fight to win
over University ends. in a good compromise

By Mark Vandorhoff
CAMPUS EDITOR

Many graduate students
can stop holding their breath
and. beginning next fall. go see
a doctor.

UK will cover the cost of
Mega-Life health insurance
plan for full-time research assis-
tants. teaching assistants and
fellows. and will allow depart-
ments to cover the cost for non-
academic Graduate Assistants.

“(Graduate students) seem
pretty encouraged.“ said Susan
Mains. Graduate School sena-
tor for the Student Government
Association and a member of

the University Senate Council.
“This is a big step in the right
direction."

A new full-time staff posi-
tion will be created to oversee
and administer the new health
insurance. The employee will
be on UK‘s payroll.

The health fee will not be
covered, as originally proposed.

Mains thinks graduate stu-
dents will have leverage to get
the health fee covered next aca-
demic year.

Obtaining the funding to
cover the health fee is an im-
portant item for assistants and
fellows. because they can’t
work as much as everyone else.

Mains said.

Michael N ietzei, dean of the
Graduate School. said the sacri-
fice had to be made.

"It was largely a matter of
how much money was avail-
able." N ietzel said.

Nietzel said UK will be
spending $492 per student for
one year‘s coverage.

“It‘s a matter of being na-
tionally competitive.“ he said.
“These are benefits we really
need to provide."

The movement for graduate
student health coverage began
when Mains, who‘s studying ge-
ography. compiled the sugges—
tions of other graduate students
and compared the coverage pro-
vided at other schools.

Many graduate students
complained that UK‘s graduate
student benefits were not com-

petitive with other schools.
They said that for UK to be-
come a Top 20 public research
institution. it would have to
treat its graduate students bet-
ter.

Mains‘ efforts led to a pro—
posal which the Senate Council
voted to pass on to UK Presi-
dent Charles Wethington and
the Board of Trustees.

The Ad Hoc Committee for
Graduate Student Health Care
was set up to keep graduate stu-
dents informed of the propos-
al‘s progress and to give the stu-
dents input.

After several months of
waiting. Fitzgerald Bramwell.
the vice president for Research
and Graduate Studies. finally
announced the proposal's ap-
proval at an ad hoc committee
meeting March 1-1.

By Johnathon Johnson
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Deciding good deeds on
campus shouldn’t go unrecog-
nized. the Student Develop-
ment Council founded an
award that recognizes work
by campus groups.

The Partners for Excel-
lence Award is given every
year to the group or society
that works the hardest to give
something back to the cam-
pus. said Whitney Browning.
an agriculture-biotechnology
sophomore.

The groups need to be re-
minded they do make a differ-
ence and the campus appreci-
ates their help, Browning
said.

But the award doesn't get
as much attention as the com-
mittee would like. she said.

“Last year there wasn‘t
as much of a response as we'd
have liked." Browning said.
“We‘re hoping to get more
people to find out and apply
for the award."

BOSTON When the Dow

whether this milestone has any

“It's another marker along the

U. Mich protest reaches third day

Students block doorways, administrators as
part of organization's push for labor equality

By Michael Grass
MICHIGAN DAILY ‘

ANN ARBOR. Mich. - Dis-
cussions continue between uni-
versity administrators and stu-
dent activists who have occu-
pied President Lee Bollinger‘s
office in the Fleming Adminis-
tration Building since last
Wednesday.

Members of Students Orga-
nizing for Labor and Economic
Equality said they will not va-
cate the office until administra-
tors meet their demands to
have a strong set of labor stan-

dards for the collegiate apparel
industry.

The students. encamped on
the second floor. spent much of
yesterday blocking doorways.
keeping university administra
tors and other workers out of
Boilinger's office.

SOLE‘s bargaining team
met with Bollinger. University
General Counsel Marvin
Krislov and Provost Nancy
Cantor on Friday. but did not
come to an agreement. senior
Trevor Gardner said.

SOLE members said they
are upset with parts of the uni»

‘ “*‘r~~-1h»o~0-ar. " ‘ ’

versity‘s code of conduct for Ii-
censed manufacturers that
Bollinger presented at Thurs-
day's University Board of Re-
gents meeting.

“The policy statement the
University released at the re-
gents‘ meeting does not repre-
sent an agreement between the
students and President
Bollinger." said SOLE member
Peter Romerl‘riedman. a
sophomore.

“We‘re upset. however. we
know that this code is the
strongest in the nation and its
existence is due solely to the ef-
forts of U of M students.“ Gard-
ner said.

Members participating in
the sit-in said they will remain
in the president‘s office

overnight.

SOLE has called on the uni
versity for full public disclo
sure of factory locations and
ownership and the living wage ~
a salary factoring in local living
conditions.

The university agreed to
full disclosure in discussions
with SOLE last week. The Iiy
ing wage remains the major
point of contention in the uni
versity‘s discussions with
SOLE.

”I have already said I will
not agree to a timetable or an
abstract living wage." Bollinger
said. adding that the adminis
tration will not take further ac
tion on the issue for the time
being.
