UK to lower health insurance costs

Employees: Plan adds variety of options
while preventing rate increases next year

By Kristin Durbin

Stitt winter

In a few months. UK em-
ployees will see major changes
to universitvsprovided health
care plans.

President Lee Todd accept»
ed a Health Benefits Task Force
plan Monday. preventing
increases in UK health care
costs for employees next year
and cutting the costs of several
current plans. The report also
added three new coverage plans
from which employees could
choose.

“All health care benefits
have been either maintained or
improved from last year." Todd

said in a memorandum to uni
versity employees.

Tom Samuel. chairtiian of
the Health Benefits Task Force.
said this initiative comes as :i
result of Todd's Top 3H vision
and also from growing dissatis
faction among employees about
I'K's health care plans

Samuel said roughly one
people withdrew from the UK
health care plan last year.

"We hope they will come
back into the plan," he said.

Samuel said the problems
with the plan included access to
care and the general under
standing of health care plans.

"The number one issue was
costs to employees." he said.

In order to combat rising
costs I'K increased the portion
it pays for employee health
care, Samuel said Hi always
increases the portion annually
but this was a “significant in
crease in the level ofcoverage "

Samuel said the decreased
costs for employees are aimed
to make I'K more competitive
with other universities. He said
I'K wants to retain eiiiployet-s
as well as attract new ones
through this measure

David Hamilton. chairman
of the department of history.
said the new plan sounds en-
couraging.

"it's a huge step in the right
direction." he s‘Iiltl

(‘iene Williams. vice presi
dent for Fiscal Affairs and In

new plan will help the goal to

ticket lottery Monday night.

Make some noise: Prizes and announcements mark lottery;
group hopes event will enliven crowd at Saturday's game

By Steve lvey

Mike Tabben is tired of always hearing
about how loud the fans are at other South
Eastern Conference schools.

After hearing one television announc-
er describe the high volume level at the 0-
Dome when Kentucky visited the Florida
Gators. and after hearing another analyst
say he could hear a pin drop at Rupp Are-
na. Tabben. the marketing and integrated
strategic communications senior and pub
lic relations director for Student Activities
Board. knew something had to be done

He took the idea of bringing entertain
ment to the student ticket lottery to Alvis
Johnson. Assistant Director of Athletics
for Administration. Johnson said when he
met with Tahben. they shared the desire to
“rally support for the big game against

 

Florida "

"I know deep down how passionate I'K
students are about their basketball."
Tabben said "It's time for the rest of the
college basketball world to realize it. too "

At last night's ticket lottery. SAB raf-
fled off prizes such as a basketball signed
by Tubby Smith. Nike gift packages and
door prizes ranging from tickets to the
Wayne Shorter Quartet concert to Papa
John‘s gift certificates

The most excitement came when SAB
announced MTV would be bringing its
("ampus invasion tour to [K Tabben said
SAB did everything they could to "try to
pump the students up at the lottery and
hope that energy spills over to the game
against Florida."

Tabben said SAB would survey stu
dent reaction before deciding to continue

 

the :ir‘tzvitzes at lotteries next year

Some students say the SAR sponsored
events made the lottery more entertaining

"I usually sit here bored." said .len-
nifer l)eiiiiisey. a iournalism sophomore "i
think it's a good idea because it looked like
people were haying fiin lpartiripating in
the shooting exhibitions» "

Kim .lones. ri biology
agreed

"Even if it doesn't get the students
pumped for the game on Saturday. it's a
good break from my exams this week." she
said.

()ther students saw drawbacks in the
new lottery format.

“i don‘t think getting pumped on a
Monday will carry over to a Saturday
game." said Aaron Thomas. a psychology
freshman

A few students thought there were bet-
ter ways to get students more into a game

"l'ntil we're down on the floor like
Duke or North (lirolina State. nothing will
work." said Andy Heller. 'i kinesiologK
