employees could go to in order to
receive benefits. The problem is that
a DMO isn't based on an office co
pay, bi^t rather it varies by proce
dure. It is also not as neat and clean
as an HMO," Hassel said. "We hope
to offer it Sept. 1, 2001. The reason
for that is because dental organiza
tions' have not been built outside
metropolitan areas and that is where
most of our employees work."
Gerescher said the Systems office
works with the insurance carriers to
understand why premiums need to
be raised.
"At the Systems office we under
stand that nobody wants higher pre
miums. We try very hard to work
with the carriers. We have them
prove to us why they need this
increase," Gerescher said.
Hassel said premiums would
probably continue to increase
because of the rising costs.
"Costs are going up, specificalli
in the next two years. Hopefully,leg
islature will increase contributioi
significantly. There are lags in fun
ing, and that is what's happenk
right now. The overall cost, ivi
know, is going to increase. Peo|

shouldn't be penalized."
Other students understand the
reason behind enforcing late fees but
feel the amount is too high.
"I see why [the University] wants
to set late fees," said Stephanie

"They want to make sure students

The entire world of football fans

Hall of Fame quarterback Dan

But Losey also said the

he wouldn't reveal his preference for a
future place of employment.
'T'm not telling you. That's my
honest answer," Martin said. "I don't
have a home. I'm a nomad."
The Nets ran a battery of tests on
Martin's leg and had their doctors take
an extra close look at the injury. Mar
tin also visited Vancouver and Orlan
do, although he said the Magic's doc
tors did not look at his leg.
The consensus national player of
the year, Martin is a 6-foot-9 forward
who averaged 18.9 points while shoot
ing 57 percent from the field last sea
son. He listed Kevin Garnett and Karl
Malone as the players he most re
spected; Garnett for his intensity and
Malone for his durability.
Although he is a bit undersized for
the position, the Nets would be ex
pected to use him at center in place of
Jayson Williams, whose career is being
brought to a premature end because of
a broken leg.
Williams' injury, along with an in
jury that will keep Kerry Kittles side
lined at the start of the season, is the
reason the Nets might be a little more
skittish than most about picking a
player coming off such an injury.
"I never missed a day of rehab,"
Martin said. "I told myself I was going
to fight back from this no matter how
long it took."
