Alternative sought for mandatory insurance by Linette Freeman An altcrnnti"e for the future of insurance 111 North Idaho College is the focm of one congrtSSman and one committee. About S296,000 Mt collected from North Idaho College ,1uden1~ for insurance fc-c from the fall of 19 S to tht spring of 19S9. Howe,er, onl)' $93.000 v. as p:ud out in d31ms, rbulting in a S203,000 profit for 1hr tn}urance comp3ny, said NIC inMruetor Tony Ste1,ar1. As decided by the Associated
1udents or North Idaho Colkgc. full -lime studcn" arc rtquired to pay SSS for mandatory heahh insunmcc.
