And I'm always so glad I've done it when I plan my schedule in the fall. Classes are offered at convenient times during the day and evening so I can always work them in around my summer job schedule. And the low-cost tuition is an added bonus!" Call us today at 469.3803 for a class schedule and more information. Johnson County Community College, 12345 College Blvd Overland Park, Kansas 66210 (913) 469-8500 Young adults often without health insurance Eighteen- to 24-year-olds comprise the age group most likely to lack health insurance, according to a Census Bureau report released last March. Nearly half of the Americans in that age group were without insurance, at least temporarily, between February 1990 and September 1992, the report said. By Ashley Schultz Kansan staff writer "Under the president's plan, college students will be covered under their parents' plans, so every college student would be covered," said Donna Shalala, secretary of Health and Human Services, at a press conference in March. She said that subsidies would be available to students whose parents did not have coverage. But not everyone is optimistic that the Clinton plan will pass. "The problem with health care in this country is a somewhat comprehensive problem," said Ray Davis, head of the University's health services administration. "It's not just that there's 13 to 17 percent of the population uninsured. It's not just that costs are going through the roof. It's not just that we know there's an awful lot of medical services that are being delivered that are unnecessary." "What better way to approach this reform than by having states do some experimentation to find out what works and what doesn't work in their particular contexts?" Davis said. "The real important thing here is, what are the issues? And how are those issues going to be framed in a way to get the votes necessary to get it on the floor out of committee, and to be able to obtain the votes on the floor." The students most at risk are those who are not employed, those who cannot afford the student insurance, or those parents can no longer include them in their own policies. Davis said. He said he thought the states would be afforded some discretion to experiment with reform. Tonya Cole, head of the student health advisory board, said the Consumers and Student Health Organization, based in Berkeley, began a petition drive earlier this year. It called on the government to recognize the efforts of college students with regard to health-care reform. KU's student government sent a petition in support of the organization. "Students are often at a disadvantage," he said. "They're young. They tend to be highly changeable and haven't really demonstrated to be a significant political force." "That was a big move, I would say, for KU," Cole said. "Whereas the other schools are going around trying to get little tiny petitions, KU made a big statement by sending a resolution through student senate."

Victim's parents lobby for crime bill The Associated Press WICHITA — The parents of a Pittsburg State University student who was kidnapped and killed by a parole urged Gov. Joan Finney yesterday to sign the Sexual Predators Act. "Prior to this we've just been turning them loose on the public unidentified and unknown," said Gene Schmidt, the father of victim Stephanie Schmidt, at a news conference. He said legislators put things in the bill he and his wife didn't seek, raising the cost of implementing it. But he said he remained hopeful Finney would sign it. The Legislature sent the bill to Finney on Wednesday after Senate and House members approved a compromise version. The bill was approved 101-23 by the House and 40-0 by the Senate. Mary Hollady, Finney's daughter and chief of staff, said yesterday the governor hadn't decided yet what she would do with the bill. The bill would require the state to build a separate building for violent sexual predators by June 1, 1995. The initial cost for planning the building and setting up a treatment program is estimated at $1.5 million, which does not include the cost of the facility itself. In 1993, Stephanie Schmidt, 20, of Leawood, accepted a ride home from work from a coworker she didn't know had been released just months earlier after serving a 10-year prison term for rape. Donald Ray Gideon was convicted of raping and strangling Schmidt. Her parents successfully pushed the Legislature for a registration law that requires the Department of Corrections to notify law enforcement when sexual offenders are released. During their news conference the Schmids also promoted their new book, "Missing Still," a collection of poems and letters about Stephanie Schmidt.
