PAGE IWO Report to Cabinet Student Insurance All-University Cabinet last night heard a committee progress report recommending that a voluntary student insurance program be established as an extension of the existing Health Service. But Cabinet took no action on the report, presented by the student insurance sub committee of the Cabinet Student Welfare Committee. A final report will be given by January 8, according to Louis Wonderly, chairman. The base insurance plan, as de scribed in the report, would in clude reimbursement up to $lOOO for each accident occurring at the University, at the student's home, or while traveling. Any medical expense incurred as a result of an accident would be covered. Another feature of the pro posed Dian is reimbur,ement riot , exceaiiiiir, $5OO for each z.irkness - As far as price is concerned." the report states, "it appears That the base plan for 12 month coverage will begin at a pre• rnium of about $lO a year." This would be in addition to the $lB a semester now paid by all students for health services. Student participation in the . proposed plan would be volun. l tam. Two additional provisions for 4 coverage are being considered br, the subcommittee. They are thel base plan plus major medical coy-; erage up to $lO,OOO, and major; medical coverage alone. Cabinet also beard a report , by Heather Lohrentz and Alvin ' Clemens, co-chairman of the I freshman customs board.

Affairs yes terday, pending further information from fraternities. The Interfratemity Council's proposal for the compul sory audit was presented at the committee meeting yesterday but no vote was taken. Frank J. Simes, dean of men and a member of the Senate com mittee, did not indicate when the issue would be decided, say ing only that "it will be some time after Christmas." Simes said the committee asked for more• information from frat ernities on their auditing sys tems before deciding on the plan. The original report of the committee was based on a sur vey concerning the auditing • which was conducted among fraternities. The survey re ceived a response of approxi mately 50 per cent. Simes said. The IFC proposal calls for frat ernities to give proof of a yearly audit of the house books to the office of the dean of men, but does not require the fraternities to release the actual figures of the audit. This plan was drawn up after the Senate committee proposed a system whereby all student or ganizations, including fraternities, would be required to audit their books yearly and give the figures of the audit to the University. The audit, to be submitted in October for The preceding year, would also be accompanied by a budget for the organization for the coming year, under the I Senate proposal. Proof of the audit in the IFC proposal would consist of a letter to the dean of men from the particular fraternity's national office or from a certified public accoun tant. Many fraternities are now quired by their national organi- Lotions to have their books audi ted annually. • An IFC committee headed by Richard Christian drew up the proposal on the change in the audit plan after the Senate plan was announced at a meeting two weeks ago. The IFC counter-plan, as or iginally presented at Monday night's meeting would have re quired a certified public ac- , countant to audit the fraterni ties' books. This met with im• mcdiaie opposition from coun cil members, and was amended to include an auditing by the national fraternities as valid for presentation to the University. The amended proposal was ap proved unanimously by the coun ciL Outing Club Will Hold The Outing Club will hold an' ice skating party at Beaver Dam and a cabin party at the Civil Engineering Camp Jan. 4 and 5.
