GROUP INSURANCE
- PLAN ADOPTED BY
-COLLEGrFACULTY
75 Percent of Staff Members
Accept Policies To Make
- Program Effective
INSTITUTION WILL SHARE
IN PREMIUM PAYMENTS
Permanent Disability Protection
Offered Holders—Amounts
Based - Upon Salaries
Seventy-five percent of full-time
College staff members accepted poli
cies in meetings last week to com
plete the requirement for placing a
program of group 'insurance in effect
here.
With premiums to be paid jointly
by the College and the policy holder
the system is on a contributory basis.
Providing too services, the program
offers life insurance and a perman
ent disability clause Policies will
range from one to ten thousand dol
lars with amounts for individuals
based on salary. In case of total or
permanent disability from disease
monthly payments are to be made af
ter a six months period of idleness.
May Join lintel June I
The opportunity to join in the plan
is open to full-time staff members
until June 1 After that time any
eligible staff member aill be required
to pass a medical examination and
will not become eligible for the dis
ability provision for a year after
signing
New appointments to the College
staffs are automatically taken into
the program with the exception of
full-time clerical and labor forces who
must serve a six months probation
period before the insurance becomes
effective.
The contract! for the system is held
by the Equitable Assurance Society of
the United States which has held a
similar imiurance policy for members
of the agricultural extension staff for
several ,years
Tfas Trustee Approt al
Having its origins in faculty discus
sion and mosements, the program for
group insurance was definitely
launched tuo years ago when Presi
dent Ralph D. Hetzel appointed a fac
ulty-administration committee to
make a study. Following this Inves
tigation a committee of the Trustees
made further inquiry and finally the
insurance system vats passed by the
Board at its January meeting.
In addition to the protection afford
ed by the new policy, staff members
are covered for accident insurance un
der an older State provision. A
system for retirement annuities is the
next problem according to College
officials.
Investigator Finds Present
Advisory System Inadequate
Prof. Parkinson Suggests Method Used Here
In Agricultural School as Scheme
To Better Counselling
"We need counsellors rather than
scheduling officers."
This epitomizes what is wrong with
the present system of "advising" stu
dents here in the opinion of Prof.
Harry G Parkinson of the School of
Agriculture, who has made a study of
advisory methods in use at leading
universities throughout the country.
Professor Parkinson explains out
standing duties of a counsellor as
amassing of a complete body of facts
!about the individual student; a study
of his time distribution, study meth
ods, paitimpation in extra-curricular
activities, and vocational or profes
sional aims; and an understanding of
the advisee's intimate and personal
problems as contrasted to the semi
annual scheduling of courses for the
student which comprises the activity
of advisors in most Schools of the
College at the present.
The shortcomings of the present
system Professor Parkinson attri
butes to the fact that advisors have
too many students to look after, that,
rather than being a complete and im
portant department in itself the ad
s istory system is superimposed on the
teaching organiration, and that our
advisors arc not trained counsellors.
Although Professor Parkinson be
lieves these can be no "ideal" advis
ory system, since the benefits ure de-

Comptroller Will Discuss Effect
Of World Conditions on
Education Policy
Speaking on "World Problems and
Educational Polley," Raymond H
Smith, College Compttollm, v,lll give
the fifth lecture in the Liberal Arts
series in the Little Theatre, Old Main,!
at 7 o'clock tonight.
The Comptroller udl discuss popu
!lai reactions under present depressed
conditions to our colleges and umser
sitms and tell how people generally
feel towards higher education He
still also explain how the world's
mental attitude is turning critical of
present day educational institutions.
Speaker Graduated In 1906
Much of the material of this sub
ject was seemed by Mr. Smith while
he was on a lease of absence front the
College the second semester of last
y ear. At that time he made an ex
' tended tour through the South At
lantic and Middle Western States of
tins country and through a section of
England, whole he visited a number
of colleges and universities.
After graduating from Penn State
in 1906, the speaker became connected
with several companies as soles engin
eer and with another 'company as
treasurer. He returned to Penn State
:in 1911 to become graduate manager
lof athletics and secretary of the
alumni association.
Upon the creation of the Comp
troller's office by the College, he ens
chosen for the position which he has
held since 1918 The Comptroller has
also served as Executive Secietary of
tho College Administration committee
and as temporary becrettny of the
Board of Trustee.
pendent on local conditions, lie points
to the system now in use in the School
of Agriculture us designed in the right
trend. There, no one ado leer takes
care of more than ten students
Monthly conferences of these ten fm
discussion of mutual problems ale
held, and each student sees his ad
visor for individual conferences on an
average of once a month.
When asked what he thought of the
suggestion that the problem could be
solved by employing one man whose
duty it would be to act as student
advisor Professor Parkinson card that
it would be Impossible for one man to
thoroughly understand the problems
of the entire student body Instead,
he advocates lightening of the teach
ing burdens of those'faculty members
peculiarly fitted to act as student
counsellors, so that they may pre
their advisory duties more tone.
Professor Parkinson concluded by
advocating the adoption of these sug
gested laming in the present system
as soon as possible. He sees the ques
tion of finance as a necessary deter
rent to as rapid progress on the situ
ation as is desirable, but espressos
the belief that the time is not far off
when the question, "What is best 'for
the individual student , " will assume
its place as the motivating factor of
the counsellor.
