Health coverage mandated for all students The new insurance plan would reduce the cost to students by more than $200 per term By Adam Jude Oregon Daily Emerald While the State Board of Higher Educa tion unanimously approved a mandatory health insurance plan Friday for all Oregon University System students, the effect on the University campus will not be felt un til September 2001 at the earliest. The University recently signed a five year contract with Aetna, Inc., and cannot immediately participate in the OUS plan, said Bob Petit, a medical administrator at the University Health Center. The contract with the Chickering Group, a third-party provider of health insurance through Aet na, Inc., is re-evaluated each year and can be canceled if deemed necessary, Petit said. Many specifics of the OUS plan will have to be worked through before it can be implemented at the seven institutions, said Elizabeth Dickenson, the risk manager for the OUS special task force in charge of ini tiating the plan. Dickenson said the University’s current contract does not hamper the team’s goal of providing basic medical coverage for the 60,000 OUS students.

When she went to the women’s restroom at stores, sales clerks would drag her to her parents, alerting them they had found their “son” in the women’s bathroom. Her parents felt Scholinsky was an “inappropriate female” and thought they could help her by sending her to mental institu tion after mental institution, where Scholinsky spent three years during her adolescence. Scholinsky, 33, now an ac tivist, artist and author of the book, “The Last Time I Wore a Dress,” shared her story with approximately 50 members from the campus community Tuesday night at Gerlinger Lounge as part of a three-day In terSEXions Conference. Scholinsky shared how, rather than letting her be who she really was, her doctors thought they could help her become more fem inine by having her wear makeup and dresses.
