State offers new
life insurance
coverage, options
Effective Mar. 1, the state of
Florida will replace the current
$3,000 group term life insurance
plan for all eligible state
employees with a new plan,
underwritten by the Prudential
Insurance Company of America,
which will give greater coverage at
a minimum cost.
Letters have been sent to all
University faculty and staff
members explaining the plan,
enrollment procedures, and
information on how to calculate
the amount of coverage and biweekly cost.
The new policy will be
decreasing term in nature with
accidental death and
dismemberment benefits (AD&D).
The amount of individual life
insurance and AD&D in force at
any time will depend on each
participant's age and annual
salary.
"The premium, based on annual
salary, will change only as annual
salary changes," according to
Mary Alford, assistant director,
Personnel Services. "The    »
employee will pay one-third of the
total cost of the policy with the
state paying the other two-thirds.
"Summer contracts for faculty
will not affect the amount of
coverage for nine-month faculty
members as their coverage is
based on the nine-month
contracted salary, and deductions
to cover summer months will be
handled in the same manner as

and Jim Yokum, pitch in with muscle and mulch to put the finishing
touches on UCF's Exercise Trail.
UCF Exercise Trail
opens next week
A mile-long fitness trail with 20
stops enroute for exercises from
knee-bends to log lifting will open
to UCF faculty, staff and students
next Wednesday with a ribbon-
cutting scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
The trail, which is fashioned
Fitness Day coming up!
Area runners, walkers,
stretchers and others
interested in testing the new
UCF Exercise Trail will have
that opportunity during
Community Fitness Day —
Feb. 23 — when the
University opens its doors to
young and old to participate
in a series of athletic events
designed to introduce them
to the benefits of fitness
through sports.
Next week's issue will
carry a complete schedule of
activities planned for the day.
after the popular "parcours" in
Europe, was made possible
through the combined efforts of
area businesses, health agencies,
and student organizations,
according to Ken Renner, director
of intramural and recreational
sports.
It was Renner who proposed and
planned the exercise trail, located
on the south side of campus
where Pegasus Blvd. and Alafaya
Trail meet. (The trail begins near
the first parking lot to the south
upon entering the University
grounds on Pegasus Blvd.)
Actual construction extended
over the past four months, using
donations in materials and money
from Scotty's, J.C. Penney Co., the
Central Florida Chapter of the
American Heart Association,
Jimmy Bryan Toyota, Wometco
Vending, Seaboard Coastline
Railroad, Florida Power Corp., and
the UCF Student Government.
Chalking up hundreds of hours
in the actual construction cf the
trail were personnel from the
University's Physical Plant and
Recreational Services department
and members of the Physical
Education Majors Club and
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
Renner noted that the concept is
widely used in Europe, where
motorists take a break during long
trips with a run-through on one of
the many exercise trails located
along highways.
"When I see people using our
trail, I'll be very pleased," Renner
remarked. "Everyone is invited. It's
been a real community effort, and
should be enjoyed by all."
