probably will be easier to use.
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

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

observance to demonstrate their
Americanism.
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. -

United Press International
DALLAS — A Dallas air
courier entrepreneur is starting
a new airline exclusively for
business travelers wishing to
avoid crowded planes, crying
babies and “the little old lady
from Pasadena” on her first
vacation.
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. He’s offering
an airplane to corporations at
rates lower than the big car-
