Seven companies service the Bryan-College Station area. Check with the Interstate Commerce Commission for the “track record” of the companies you’re considering. Check with the moving companies for prices. They should give you a price per-pound figure and a total estimate. Moving com panies also are required by the ICC to furnish you with a per formance report. If you’re not moving too much furniture, try doing it yourself. U-Haul in College Sta tion has several sizes of trucks to fit your needs. They will charge you by a combination of mileage and truck size. For example, if you are moving to Dallas, U- Haul charges you for truck size and limits the truck use to six days and 300 miles. After 300 miles, you pay an additional 35 cents a mile. Now that you’ve got an apart ment, your utilities are turned on and your furniture is moved in, it’s time to think about pro tecting yourself and your valu ables. To begin, make sure you have got health insurance. If you were on your parents’ policy during college, find out how long the policy lasts after you graduate. Thirty days is usually the limit. Some companies offer non renewable policies for 60 to 180 days. This type of insurance is designed for job-hunting col lege graduates, people between jobs and people in new jobs. There are two plans: hospital- surgical and major medical. The hospital-surgical plan pays a certain amount per day for the hospital room. It also covers some surgical, outpatient and miscellaneous expenses. Major medical covers additional expenses up to a certain limit. If you have a job, you prob ably are covered under a com pany plan. Company plans are usually health maintenance organizations or group policies. In addition to a group policy, you can increase your coverage with an individual policy. The first type — health maintenence organizations — offers the broadest protection. For a monthly fee, most or all health care is provided using staff doctors and facilities. The second — group policy — covers basic medical ex penses. Different companies carry different group policies. Check the policy for the extent of your coverage. If your company doesn’t offer insurance or you want to in crease coverage, you’ll need to buy an individual policy. The first type — basic protec tion — pays for hospitalization and certain other medical costs up to a specified limit. The second type — major medical — pays medical costs that exceed the limits of basic protection. Christmas less threatening Jews elevate Hanukkah United Press International WASHINGTON — “Christ mas,” says Rabbi Marc Tanen- baum, “is not looked on as a hreat anymore (by Jews) be cause Christians are not looked on as the enemy anymore.” jj Instead, says Tanenbaum, di rector of interreligious affairs ■For the American Jewish Com- mittee, Jews have become more fcomfortable as Americans, more their own tradition fend, in response, have elevated a once-minor Jewish festival — Hanukkah — to the status of a major event and celebration. While on a personal level ,most Jews have solved the prob- jem, it remains a potent element of interfaith conflict on the pub lic level. I “I think in many ways for the majority of American Jews, they have worked out some resolu tion of the tensions that the observance has developed for Jewish children,” he said. He said there is much less of the earlier conflict that was pre sent among first generation Jews who felt obligated to parti cipate in some degree in the oyment )y benefits at ng-time lat repoi oyment he week »- tg week, ient offices''! me day, w! jur in whit jr benefits e 598,00(1 cli nose weeksi! the sevens A u f>' " r I rooted ber of pefl, ng benelits g Nov.

Today, the problem lies much less with the elements of Christmas that stress the birth of Jesus as messiah as with the chal lenge of the powerful, enor mous tinsel Santa Claus that symbolizes the commercial Christmas. Jewish observance of Hanuk kah, the eight-day Festival of Lights which marks the victory of the Maccabees over the Sy rians, has become critical in the Jewish response to Christmas. “Ironically, Hanukkah was a minor festival,” Tanenbaum said. “Because of the challenge of Christmas it has been elevated into a major celebration in Jew ish family life with a paradoxical effect: it has sometimes become an occasion for eight days of commercialization.” Giving the celebration a cen tral role Jewish life, Tanenbaum said, was a deliberate choice, a very conscious act on the part of the Jewish community. “Parents said, ‘We’re going to make Hanukkah at least as hap py a time for our children as Christmas is for Christians.’ Christians have done Jews a ser vice by enabling them to take a minor service and give it far greater attention and far greater meaning.” Hanukkah does something else for American Jews; it strengthens their emotional ties to Israel where the celebration is at least as gaudy and pervasive as Christmas in the United States. “Hanukkah is a national observance in Israel,” Tanen baum said. “It is a major festival. Everyone does the menorah (the nine-branched candalabrum lit each night of the festival). It is an expression of Jewish patriotism and Jewish nationalism.” But Christmas as a national — and, more pointedly, public — observance, still causes trou ble for a number of Jews and civil liberties organizations who believe religious pluralism for bids tax-supported, overt man ifestations of the Christ-related aspects of Christmas. “It is unnecessary to belabor the fact that Christological holi day celebrations in public schools are deeply offensive to children who are not brought up as Christians,” says the Amer ican Jewish Congress. “Religious celebrations of this type introduce tensions and di visiveness into public schools and often harass and hurt chil dren of minority faiths,” accord ing to the Congress. “Such chil dren face a conflict between the religious teaching they receive at home and the quite different teaching conveyed by the reli gious practices in their schools.” When Christian elements are a part of the holiday celebra tions, Jews and other children of minority faiths are faced with three options: submit and con form to the practices, resist and be labeled a non-conformist, or resort to stratagems that give the appearance but not the reality of participation. Tanenbaum, however, said such observances are gradually being abandoned as Christians learn the meaning of pluralism and as Jews gain a greater strength of their own religious identity. - LOWENBRAU Presents SHEER, STARK TERROR GRIPS YOU IN UNDERWATER...

Kay Cohlmia — who opened an air cargo operation in 1974 with one airplane and built it into a 28-plane, 36-city opera tion — expands his empire Dec. 13 with daily weekday flights be tween Dallas-Fort Worth, Washington-Baltimore and New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport. Cohlmia, 47, has ambitious plans for the future as well, hop ing eventually to serve Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, De nver, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Wichita, Kan., and Atlan ta. He also wants overseas flights to London. Cohlmia’s operation is pri vate. Only member businesses can put personnel aboard. He offers two types of business memberships: corporate and single. Under the first plan, a corporation contracts to buy a minimum of 20 seats a month, which are guaranteed not to be filled by the airline regardless of whether any of the businesses’ workers are aboard. Cohlmia Aviation’s charter I flights will utilize stretch DC-8s I owned by Transamerica Air- 1 lines, a carrier based in Oakland, I Calif., since 1948. It offers char- | ter and scheduled service, both ■ domestically and overseas. "I want the man who goes ev ery day,” says Cohlmia. “He’s going to be treated like a king. We’re putting extra stewardes ses aboard and we’re going to discriminate. “The price is right,” Cohlmia said. “You’re looking at $167 one way. You can’t drive for that. We’ll put calculators aboard, and I’ve ordered two sky phones. Chairmen of the board will feel comfortable aboard our planes. Cohlmia has targeted his market. “We’re dealing with business men,” he says. “They don’t want to work all day and then sit next to a crying, squealing kid for three or four hours.” Lee Francis, Transamerica’s southern regional manager in Dallas, said, “It’s an excellent idea. It definitely offers com petition to the major carriers, which rely a great deal on the business traveler.
