them. The cost can be as much
as $5OO or above.
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

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

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.

MIAMI - Three young people were found fatally stabbed in a
car at the Florida International University campus this Tuesday.
Officials dismissed similarities to the 1990 student slayings that
rocked Gainesville. "We do not know if they were FIU students,"
said Dan Kalmanson, university spokesman. Police at the university
immediately tightened security around the campus.
WASHINGTON ~ In state after state, Ross Perot supporters are
saying they want him back in the race. Interviews by The Associate#
Press with Perot organizers in 50 states show that there, is

volunteers. Organizers are in the process of polling those volunteers
for recommendations. Perot's economic program includes a number
of tough steps, including cuts in Social Security benefit increases and
many other government programs.
