Insurance
Program
Approved
The group health and accident
insurance plan which was ap
proved by the Board of Regents
Saturday, was worked out in co
operation with the University but
will be handled on an individual
basis by the insurance company,
Business Manager John Selleck
said.
The University will furnish lists
of students to the company, he
explained, . and the company will
be endorsed by the University to
solicltThes'fii3enls individually. He
stressed the fact that the Uni
versity would not solicit the stu
dents either individually or as a
group.
The terms of the policy cover up
to $1000 for one illness at a rate
of not more than $15 a day and
operating expenses of not more
than $150. It provides accident in
surance up to $1000 for hospitaliza
tion and other expenses. Optional
accidental death insurance at $5000
is available for an additional
charge.
The rate will be $14.40 per year
for single students, $19 for a stu
dent and spouse, and $22.35 for
a married student with a family,
Selleck said.
The insurance would cover stu
dents for the full twelve month
period not just the school year,
he said, and would cover acci
dents and illnesses incurred at
home as well as at school.
The hospitalization coverage
would pay expenses both at Stu
dent Health and other hospitals

he explained. '
