According to Maureen Finn, coordinator of Student Organizations and Program Development, Emergy-Care contacted her at the beginning of the summer with a request to place a flyer advertising their service inside the Orientation packets. Emergy-Care was offering their service at a student membership rate of $2O. "They (Emergy-Care) wanted free advertising," Finn said. "We already had an arrangement with them." Finn also noted that the flyer in the orientation packet could lave given students the impression that the cost of the service was mandatory. Sabina Freeman, public relations coordinator for Emergy-Care, said, "They (the administration) said they had adequate coverage for the students and felt that they were in no need of our service." Freeman also commented that she had contacted Behrend three times between February and April, and received a flat "No" the last time she called. "It depends on the student's insurance," said David Shields, director of Student Activities and Reed Student Union, "Their insurance would probably cover the (Emergy-Care) costs anyway. It's like paying for something you may not use." According to Emergy-Care, however, most insurance coverage does not pay the full amount of actual Emergy-Care costs. Last year four Behrend students had purchased the Emergy-Care service member ship. Emergy-Care also serves Gannon and Mercyhurst colleges. They each have a student membership ranging from 50-100 students.

Voter Registration Teresa Turle The Collegian The Multi-Cultural Council held a voting registration drive for Behrend students from September 21-23. The drive was non-partisan. It didn't endorse a particular political party, but gave information on both. Sam Epps, multi-cultural council president, said, "the drive was quite successful." The drive yielded 253 new student registrations and 106 applications for absentee ballots. Epps said, "the reason so many students showed up was because they were very excited to have an impact on the election.” It's growing increasingly evident that students want to have an impact on how our country is run. Jill Plavcan, a 3rd semester Mechanical Engineering Technology major, said, "I think you should register because it's important that the government knows how the BURN ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES.

You have what it takes to make a difference The Collegian young people of America feel." Epps believes the fear of educational budget cuts arc prompting students to take action and vote. Dan Mills, 4th semester Business Psychology major, said, "It's time students realize their votes will make a difference." The Multi-Cultural Council is made up of several inner groups such as the Association of Black Collegions, the Association of Latin Americans, the National Society Of Black Engineers, Human Relations Programming and Women Today. Epps said, "the organization helps the University with the concerns of the minority students on campus." The council helps the campus become culturally diverse in different situations. The voting registration drive is only one way that the MCC shows thier concern for the college community and prompts students to make a difference. Ever Get Somebody lotflllyWostcd?
