University Health Center / GM-Southwest Student Insurance
The Student Insurance program is designed to work together with the
University Health Center to help off-set the high cost of medical care.
The program is open to both graduate and under graduates. Optional
dependant coverage is available at additional premiums.
There arc some changes this year in the procedure for enrollment that

adequate private coverage or be billed automatically. Private policies
must be approved and waivers signed by 1/19/94 to avoid being billed
on your tuition statement for the Student Insurance.
Coverage dates for International Students Spring/Summer Sessions
are 1/10/94 - 8/11/94. No enrollment card needs to be filled out.
THE PREMIUM OF S?11.00 WILL BT BILLED ON YOUR
SPRING TUITION STATEMENT.
Enrollment is open for US Resident students and ALL dependents
until 2/11/94. If you have not enrolled in the Student Insurance
program by then, you must wait until Summer Sessions begin.

King Day observance growing
... > + _ ■ ■
A 1 LAN 1 A (Ai'J — 1 ms mum
annual holiday honoring the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr. still finds sup
porters of the observance struggling
to win credibility for King Day.
All 50 states are observing the
holiday Monday. But most compa
nies do not give workers the day off.
Supporters say part of the reason is the
holiday isperceived as aday for blacks.
“That’s a perception we need to
change,” said Alan Minton, director
of the Martin Luther King Federal
Commission in Atlanta, which was
created to encourage observance of
the day. “There’s no need for the
federal government, the state govern
ment and corporations to give off a
day if it just belongs tojust one group.”
“The white community has not
embraced the hoi iday as much as they
possibly could, but they certainly arc
embracing it more and more,” he said.
A survey in 1990 found that only
18 percent of Fortune 500 companies
observed King Day. That number is
slowly increasing, Minton said.
A spot check of several corpora
tions found that General Motors and
Atlanta-based Coca-Cola observe the
holiday,while IBM, AT&T andTurn
er Broadcasting System allow work
ers to take the day oif as a personal
holiday.
“Just as we think Loiumbus Day is
an important day and Abraham Lin

holiday as much as they possibly could, but

coin is an important day, so is Martin
Luther King Day,” said Burke Stinson,
a spokesmaa for AT&T. “Our em
ployees seem to appreciate the option
of picking and choosing what holiday
of a religious nature or civic nature
they may so chose.”
Stinson estimated that 10 percent
of AT&T’s workforce takes King Day
off.
“King Day came after all these
other days and how many days do you
add before you deduct from vacation
and sick days?” asked Jon Goodman,
director of the Entrepreneur Program
at the University of Southern Califor
nia School of Business Administra
tion and an expert on business practic
es.
In an attempt to increase the pop
ularity of the holiday, supporters are
suggesting King Day is a time for
community service.
King’s widow,Coretta Scott King,
says the nation must confront busi
nesses that promote violence, ranging
from gun makers to video arcades, in
order to reduce violent crime.
“We must recognize that while
violence is ultimately committed by
individuals, it is promoted and en
couraged by a massive violence in
dustry,” Mrs. King wrote in an article
published in Sunday’s editions of The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Last fall,U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford,
D-Pa., and U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D
Ga., introduced legislation that would
make King Day a day of service.
Wofford, a former aide to King
who is facing re-election this year,
planned to spend Monday visiting
community service sites around Penn
sylvania, including a soup kitchen, a
center for teen-age boys in trouble
with the law and a Boys and Girls
Club.
By linking the holiday with the
idea of community service, support
ers hope to prevent it from evolving
into another day of shopping and sports
on television.
Saddam may retaliate if sanctions continue
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—On the
eve of the third anniversary of the start
of the Persian Gulf War, Saddam
Hussein lashed out at the West Sun
day and said he would retaliate for its
accessions.
The Iraqi leader
said in a nationally
televised speech
that he would not
standby in the face
of continued inter
national sanctions
HinMta
against mscouniry.
“Let these evil
people, masters and slaves alike, end
their illusions and let them not mis
calculate again,” he said, referring to
the West and Gulf Arab states who
joined the allied fight against Iraq.
His remarks apparently sought to
shore up his government’s image at
home. Iraq is dogged by economic
woes stemming from U.N. sanctions
imposed after Iraq’s invasion of Ku
wait in August 1990.
Iraq has been seeking a lifting of
the sanctions and has been making
moves, such as opening seaways and
inaugurating a new petrochemical
plant on the main truck route north to
Turkey, that would leave the country
well-placed if and when the sanctions
were lifted.
Saddam has proclaimed a “moral
victory” in the 1991 war, which ended
Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, an oil
rich emirate it invaded in a dispute
over oil, money and territory.
He made similarly combative re
marks last year when he called on
Iraqis to “strike back” against the
United States, which led the Western
allies in war.
At that anniversary, Saddam’s com
ments came hours after the United
States fired U.S. Cruise missiles
against an alleged Iraqi nuclear weap
ons site and downed an Iraqi war
plane.
Mexican president offers general amnesty
SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mex
ico (AP)—President Carlos Salinas dc Gortari
stepped up pressure Sunday on rebels in south
ern Mexico, unveiling a promised amnesty but
only for those who stop fighting immediately.
It was the president’s latest move to end the
rebellion that started New Year’s Day in
Chiapas, the country’s poorest state.
In his address, Salinas said the amnesty
covers all participants in violence from Jan. 1
through Sunday.
“Any criminal action against the people or
against the Mexican army after this period will
not have the benefit of amnesty,” the president
said.
An estimated 1,000 to 2,000 Zapatista fight
crs - including many Indians - seized San
Cristobal and several outlying towns in Chiapas
on New Year’s Day to highl ight the pi ight of the
poor in Chiapas.
The government says 107 people died in the
fighting, which slowed down in early January
after a military assault led by 14,000 troops
forced the rebels back into the mountains and
jungles of Chiapas.
The guerrillas began their rebellion the day
the North American Free Trade Agreement
between Mexico, Canada and the United States
took effect.
They said the pact sounded a “death knell’
for Indian peasants and other poor in this coun
try of 84 million who remain untouched by
Salinas’ free-market reforms.
Three newborns named after Husker player
CULUMHUMAI') — AtriOOI i revs' YOU
can almost hear Florida State quarterback
Charlie Ward wincing.
But it’s true.
Columbus newborns Trcv Allen Muth.Trev
Michael Rawhouser and Trev Eugene Ziemba
all have Nebraska outside linebacker Trev
Alberts to thank for their names.
T rev Allen, son of Lynn and Gary Muth, was
bom Dec. 16. Trev Michael, son of Mike and
Lisa Rawhouser, was bom Dec. 28. Trev Eu
gene, son of Cliff and Jamie Ziemba, joined the
lineup on Jan. 6.
Jenice Harsh, a medical records clerk at
Columbus Community Hospital, started asking
questions after she noticed an abundance of
newborn Trevs.
“I asked them, ‘Were any of you naming
your kids after Trev Alberts?*” she said. “They
said, ‘Yeah, kind of.”*
Lisa Rawhouser, a teacher in Platte Center,
was imprcsscu mai /\ioens auenucu grauuaic
school while continuing to play football.
“If he wasn’t so neat, I wouldn’t have named
(Trcv Michael) that," she said. “He is a real
positive role model.”
Alberts was awarded this year’s Butkus
Award as the nation ’ s top collegiate 1 incbacker.
The Ziembas’ other son, Derek, is named
after former Husker running back Derek Brown,
now of the New Orleans Saints.
And the namesake?
“It makes me feel good,” Alberts said. “You
get a certain amount of satisfaction out of
awards you get, but it’s the little things, like
being viewed as a role model.
“This gives me a real responsibility to carry
it out, to be a role model.”
Gary Muth and CliffZiemba hope their sons
enjoy the same success in athletics as Alberts
has. Muth has one caveat.
His son must play only for the Huskers.
