Insurance
Program
Explained
If a student incurs medical
expenses from such accidents
as slipping on the ice, sprain
ing his ankle in gym class, or
breaking his leg in an auto
mobile accident, he can be re
imbursed if he is covered by the
Student Accident and Insurance
Plan.
In three years this insurance
plan sponsored by SGA and de
signed especially for Penn State
students has paid over a quarter
of a million dollars to students,
according to Thomas Broeren.
chairman of the SGA Student In
surance Committee.
A student enrolled in this plan
is covered year round and is in
sured for medical expenses result
ing from accidents and sickness.
The plan differs from others in
that it covers only students and
as a group plan is less expensive
than a private plan; it insures
students over 18 who are often
unprotected by their parents’ in
surance; and it covers catastrophy
expenses which could perhaps
financially prevent a student from
continuing his education, Broeren
added.
Enrollment forms and informa
tion will be available today at
booths at registration, and in the
Hetzel Union lobby. After today
until February 15th, enrollment
forms will be at the HUB desk.
NSF Summer Program

schools, Dr. H. Seymour Fowler,
who is in charge of the Institute,
explained.

Plea for
Rose 24
By MEG TEICHHOLTZ
(This is the first in a series of
articles that will trace the
chronological history of student
demands for a bookstore.)
Twenty-four years ago the
first student attempts to es
tablish a campus bookstore
emerged with a new party
which gave voice to the an
cient student -clamoring for
savings on textbooks.
In a Daily Collegian article of
April 13, 1937, a newly recognized
Independent third party pushed
political reforms to the point of
requiring party platforms in cam
paigns and advocating the "es
tablishment of a non-profit clear
ing house for books."
The editorial columns of the
Collegian greeted this announce
ment with what has become a
perennial comment: "There re
mains the problem of broken
platforms and promises. Candi
dates who now speak glibly of
bookstores . . . may. not be so en
thusiastic to change or work for
these things after they are elect
ed. But that is a future problem.”
The Independent candidate

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1961
Bookstore
Years Ago
his class that spring became the
first Independent to glean an
office in the 20th century. In
the spirit of this "new fron
tier,” he appointed a five-man
committee of fellow Independ
ent classmates to work on the
bookstore problem.
The next December the com
mittee submitted their report and
a student petition recommending
the establishing of a bookstore to
Arthur R. Warnock, the dean of
men, and Sam K. Hostetter, then
assistant to the president in
charge of business and finance.
The substance of the report rec
ommended the establishment of a
second-hand book exchange, op
erated on a non-profit basis "for
the sole purpose of enabling stu
dents to get second-hand books at
a reduced rate.”
The Daily Collegian of Dec. 10,
1937, notes that “the independents
presented this petition because
the student body in general feels
that a means of saving on student
text books should be provided.”
Within one week, a banner
headline sprawling over the
eight column bi-weekly Colle
gian proclaimed the approval of
the BX by the College adminis
tration. University President
Ralph Dorn Hetsel granted the
