On Proposal at Sessions

With
To Pay
Premiums With Salaries
As Financial Basis
A program of Group Insurance will
become effective April 1 if seventy
five percent of full-time College staff
members approve it at regular meet
logs beginning Monday. The plan
has already received the sanction of
the Board of Trustees.
With premiums to be paid jointly
by the College and the policy holder,
the system is on ti contributory basis
for all full-time College employees
who wish to accept it at the meetings
next week. All persons who join the
College staff after the Group Insur
ance policy is in effect will automatic
ally be included in it by their accept
ance of a full-time position'.
Prosides 2 Sersices
A life insurance and a permanent
disability clause are the his services
of the plan now pending. Providing
policies ranging from one to ten thou
sand dollars, amounts for individuals
will be decided on the basis of salary.
In case of total or permanent- disabil
ity from disease monthly payments
will be made to policy holders after a
six months period of idleness. The
proposed system is not accident or
compensation insurance since such
protection has been effective here for
some time under State requirements.
tie s contact for'the Crimp_lnsur
once has been let to the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United
States which has held a similar insur
ance arrangement with over one hun
dred members of the agricultural ex
tension staff - for several years.
Through merger of the contracts,
tins number of full-time employees
vsill go touard the seventy-flve per
cent necessary for the establishment
of the system here.
- Folios s Facult) Appeal
Although frequently discussed by
faculty membeis previously, the first
definite step for Group Insurance was
made two years ago when President
Ralph D. Hetzel appointed`a faculty
administration committee to study the
system. The proposed plan makes
use of the most modern developments
brought out in revisions in policies in
the major educationannstitutions and
is similar to the modernized plans
now in effect Following investiga
tion by Dr. Hetzel's committee, a com
mittee of the Board of Trustees made
further inquiry and finally the insur
ance program was passed by the
Board at its January meeting
If the measures are accepted in the
meetings next week, members 'of the
College staff will be covered for life
and permanent disability under the
now policy as well as foi accident in
surance under the older State provi
sions. Study of a method for provid
ing retirement annuities is now under
way, accolding to College officials
