With buzzwords like health
care reform and managed care
on the forefront of medicine to
day, Texas A&M students may
not need to worry, some area
doctors said.
However, other local physi
cians said a health system re
form will hinder all areas of the
medical society.
Dr. Phillip Alexander, a local
interna] medicine physician,
said managed care is where
third parties dictate the type
and the amount of care accord
ing to cost.
The Texas Medical Associa
tion said that adjusting to
health system reform and deal
ing with managed care are two
of the biggest challenges for
Texas physicians.
The Association also said
these challenges are changing
how medicine is practiced in
Texas, and some physicians said
the changes could be for the
worse.
But some local practitioners
of medicine remain optimistic
about the quality of care stu
dents will continue to receive.
“I don’t see managed care im
pacting students,” said Brett
Bennett, director of business op
erations at AM & PM Clinics. “I
don’t think we’ll see any great
change in the Bryan-College
Station area.”
Dr. Brent Gray, a local gas-
tronologist, said that because
on-campus health services are
provided at Beutel, A&M stu
dents do not need to worry.
“Y’all have your own health
care, and most students are
young and healthy, so there is
no need for extensive health
care,” Gray said. “So managed
care will not affect you.”
Dr. Kenneth Dirks, director of
health services at the A.P. Beu
tel Health Center, said Beutel is
a special model of managed
health care.
“For 90 to 95 pei
patients, we providi
practice care,” Dirks

Getting a good job is becoming more difficult for
people without a college degree, according to a
study released last week by the U.S. Bureau of La
bor Statistics.
The pay gap between college and high school
graduates is widening. In 1979, the average male
college graduate earned 49 percent more than the
average male high school graduate, while female
college graduates earned 44 percent more than fe
male high school graduates.
In 1992, however, the gap in earnings grew to
83 percent for males and 73 percent for females.
In addition to the widening pay gap, college
graduates have also been experiencing increased
difficulty in finding jobs. Unemployment rates for
college-graduates have risen from 1.3 percent in
1970 to 3 percent in 1993.
The study shows that in the last five years, on-
