DANCE Group influenced by surrealism
► From Pago 3
“Our [goall is to bring
in these artists from all
over the world to
enhance the life of not
only the University or
Athens but all over
northeast Georgia,”
Tyler said.
Along with the help
dance department head
Lisa Fhsillo, Foreman
also managed to secure
a weeklong residency
from the company. In
addition to performing,
Diavolo will also be
instructing.
“Teaching is a huge
component of what we
do, largely because we
teach each other,”
Flickinger said.
Now, roughly 18 stu
dents chosen beforehand
through a combination
workshop/audition-pro
cess will go through a
weeklong workshop with
the company's perform
ers.
The goal is both to
instruct and create:
working together, the
dancers will help the stu
dents develop their own
spin on one of the com
pany's many perfor
mances. It's a collabora
tive process born of a
collaborative philosophy.
“We bring in every
thing we are comprised
0f... and teach each
other, and that’s how we
teach our students,”
Flickinger said.
Yet becoming familiar
with some of the ins and
outs of the company’s
aesthetic may not be as
alienating as it seems.
Throughout the
90-minute show, canny
spectators will be able to
spot influences of and
references to French sur
realist Rene Magritte
and French filmmaker
Jacques Tati both
known for their comical
ly surreal perspectives
on perspective.
Throughout, there is
a continuing emphasis
on humanism in the Age
of Technology.

regulated by a conduct code, the use of profanity In pub
lic is troubling to many, and may not be beneficial for an
educated student,” Jackson said.
Kissel said the University’s allegation that Lovell’s
e-mail was threatening “minimized a true threat.”
“Even though this case might seem humorous, it illus
trates a deeper issue for the University,” he said. “Students
and others complain about parking services all the time,
but nobody calls the police on them.”
He also raised concerns about other conduct policies
such as the University Housing policy that includes ver
bal attacks and offensive jokes, posters or comments in a
definition of intolerant acts.
“It seems to me that in the Department of University
Housing that students can suffer punishment from tell
ing jokes that seem to someone to be intolerant,” Kissel
said. “As much as the Department of University Housing
might want people to never offend anyone, the fact is
that people do offend one another, and students should
respond with more speech Instead of asking University
Housing to make a policy about it.”
Parking Services declined to comment about the
case.
Lovell said he was disappointed with the University’s
response to his e-mail.
“It’s not exactly adult to send an e-mail with curse
words in it, but it’s not a good result to run screaming
and crying to the student judiciary,” he said.
Kissel encouraged students who believed their rights
had been violated on similar charges to contact FIRE.
“The larger issues of the speech codes is something
that needs to be talked about, because if a student can’t
talk about Parking Services, how are they to take on
something more controversial?”

New law alters
insurance plans
More coverage
for students
By SARA CALDWELL
The Red & Buck
Some elements of the new
federal health care law came
into effect Thursday —and
the changes have big implica
tions regarding health insur
ance coverage for University
students.
One key facet is that insur
ance plans must start allow
ing adult dependents to stay
on their parents’ plan longer.
“Students have the right
to stay on their parent’s plan
until they’re 28,” said
Stephanie Ali, program asso
ciate for the Georgia Public
Interest Research Group —a
group that released a pam
phlet about the health insur
ance changes Thursday. “This
is something I personally
took advantage of— with two
degrees and magna cum
laude from UGA it almost
took me nine months to get a
job.”
Ali said her friends gradu
ating a little bit later than
her will not have to worry
about health care coverage
right after graduation.
In the PIRG pamphlet,
“The Young Person’s Guide
to Health Insurance,” stu
dents will find bulleted lists
sharing information about
coverage plans and options,
along with descriptions of
what someone should expect
from their health care insur
ance provider.
Ali said the pamphlet
explains simply what some
students may find hard to
understand.
“There’s just been so much
going back and forth between
parties and between public
figures about what’s in the
bill, what's not in the bill, and
we don’t really want to focus
on any of the politics behind
the bill,” Ali said. “That’s not
our goal. The goal is to say,
‘Here’s what you probably
don’t understand about it
because you’ve been hearing

so many random things.’”
Robert Galen, the senior
associate dean of the
University’s College of Public
Health, said PIRG’s pam
phlet is a factual review and
nice summary of what other
wise could be very compli
cated legislative language.
“Young people think
they’re invincible and immor
tal,” Galen said. “In general,
they don't spend much time
thinking about health insur
ance, and while disease
occurs with increasing fre
quency with age, bad things
happen to nice people and
students get injured in acci
dents and have serious dis
eases as well.”
Galen said everybody
needs to have health insur
ance and because of the new
provisions, it
is easier than
ever for peo
ple under 26
which
includes a
large percent
age of the
population on
campus to
do so.
“This is
808
ALI
good news,” Galen said. “If
students read this, they will
know more about the health
care reform that pertains to
them then any random per
son in the state or the coun
try.”
PIRG hopes the pamphlet
will help people in Georgia
learn more about health care
coverage, and Galen said it
will effectively quell health
insurance worries for fall and
spring graduates.
“You graduate and you
wonder about health insur
ance,” he said. “You don’t get
a job or you get a job and it
doesn’t come with health
insurance —and you wonder
‘what can I do?’ Well, there’s
things you can do, and it’s
described right here.”

“The Young Person’s Guide
to Health Insurance” at www.
georgiapirg.org, filed under
Reports.
