Surprised students learn Watkins Center not free
Bv Cathv Garrard
Kansan staff writer
Julie Halverson was surprised when she went to Watkins Memorial Health Center this week and was told she had to pay to see a nurse for a prescription refill.
Students taking fewer than five hours during summer or seven during fall and spring semesters must pay Watkins' charges at the time of service, said Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins.
"It doesn't seem fair." Halverson说.
"It seems like another method of getting as much money as possible from students."
Yockey said the myth that Watkins was free to students was the center's biggest problem.
"Nothing is free." Yockey said. "Either the student prepays, or they pay at the time of service."
Watkins is financed by a prepaid, health-fee system. For full-time students, the health fee is included in the plan; they will use the center or not.
"It all averages out," Yockey said. "People who only come in once help pay for others who come in more."
Yockey said that during the summer, the $42 health fee was adjusted on the basis of five hours of enrollment. If only enrolled in one hour of class, a student would pay one-fifth of the fee. The same system applies to students whose parents except it is based on seven hours of enrollment with a $70 50 health费.
Part-time students can pay doctors' fees in two ways. They can pay a $30 doctor's visit charge or pay the remainder of their health fee.
That amount would depend on the number of hours a student was taking.
If a student chose to pay the remainder of the fee, any future services Watkins provided that letter would be paid for. Yockey said.
Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said Watkins did not determine how fees were set.
"The fees are determined according to University fee structure," Mulns said.
Mullens said that during the regular school year students paid tuition by the credit hour up to six hours. If students enroll in seven or more hours, they pay full tuition, and their entire health fee is paid.
Yockey said graduate students were the ones who normally thought they were cheated by the system, especially in the fall and spring.
"Seven hours is a problem," Yockey said. "Most graduate students are enrolled in six hours, which is considered a full load by the graduate programs. Students are confused and rightfully so."
Yockey said that many graduate teaching assistants and graduate students were angry that they were considered full-time students by their graduate schools but that their health fee was not fully paid.
Yockey said some charges could be avoided if students called in prescription refills by telephone.

THE DOMINO'S EFFECT.
First, you call Domino's Pizza. Second, you place an order for one of their No Coupon Specials. Then you go on with your life until the delivery arrives within 30 minutes. Next you tear open the box, letting steam rise to the occasion. Finally, you dish out one beautiful piece after another, turning your pizza into History 129. But the Domino's Effect doesn't stop there. Eventually it becomes an addiction, a perpetual notion to call Domino's and start the cycle all over again.
