Insurance
Enrollthent
Will Close
Enrollment in the life insurance
program endorsed by the Under
graduate Student Government
was termed "quite favorable" re
cently by George H. Bonsai, man
aging director of University Life
Plans, Inc.
The total number of students
enrolled, he • said, will not be
available until after the official
enrollment period ends tomorrow.
At the start of registration last
Thursday, Bonsai said that about
400 students had signed up.
A brochure describing the plan,
an application and a letter from
USG President Dean Wharton
which explained the endorse
ment action of Congress were
sent to the home addresses of all
students in December, Bonsai
said. The same materials are also
available at the Hetzel• Union
desk now.
THE PLAN provides $lO,OOO of
individual term life insurance. It
is 'available to full time students
at the premium rate ,of $2O per
year from age 16 thr6ugh 23.-No
medical examination Is required
for enrollment in the plan and a
student's continued insurability
is guaranteed.
At the policy anniversary near
est - age 24, a student- may con
vert 'the policy to' 'a $lO,OOO
straight or whole life plan— The
annual premium on this policy
will be $132.60. The policy may
also be converted to 'a permanent
plan at any time it is in force.
At conversion,' a student may
elect - to be insured - for an amount
less than $lO,OOO, although he
'may not initially purchase a
smaller amount.
'Froth' Requests
New Con.stitution
A constitution for a new humor
magazine to be entitled "Froth"-
is under consideration by the
Committee on Student Organiza
tions, George L. Donovan, com
mittee chairman, said recently.
Donovan said' that the commit
tee has held its initial - meeting to
review the constitution generally.
He _ added that the, group would
meet again to finish its study
before going over the document
with representatives of the maga
zine. --
The constitution was submitted
by the editors'of Froth, the humor
magazine- which lost its charter
Oct. 23. .
The difference- in the name of
the new magazine is that it will
not - be preceded by the words
"Perin__State:" • - • -
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 9, 1963
sylvan's, C. R. - Carpenter,- direc
tor of the Division of Instruction
al Services, said last night.
THE UNIVERSITY will serve
as the link between Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. An application
for an ETV station using Channel
69 (Ultra High Frequency). is al
most completed and will be sub
mitted by the University to the
Federal Communications Com
mission within the next few
weeks, Carpenter said.'
In .Pennsylvania, the Depart
ment of_ . Public Instruction au,
thorized a formal request to the
FCC recently for the reservation
of five additional ETV channels
for the Commonwealth. There are
presently four state ETV stations
—two in Pittsburgh and two in
Philadelphia. •
Two of the five - requested chan
nels in the state are* in central
Pennsylvania. They are Altoona
and Clearfield. /
EVENTUALLY the stations in
these two towns will be apart of
a three-station ETV network in
the state, of which the Univeisity
would be the core, Carpenter said.
These additional ETV, stations,
as they are established throughout
the state, will not necessarily be
linked to the inter-state chain.
The transmitter for .the Uni
versity's ETV station will prob
ably be located at. the summit of
the Tussey Ridge- mountain just
beyond Pine Grove Mills, Car
penter said.
Because most of the people in
this region do not have UHF re
ceivers and could not get educa
tional programming from the Uni
versity on their TV sets, coopera
tion will be sought from local
cable companies.
LESLIE P. GREENHILL. associ
ate director - of the division of
Instructional Services, said yes
terday that- signals from ETV
broadcasts can be picked up by
transformers and relayed into
cable systems, enabling viewers to
receive programs on VHF re
ceivers.
Letters have already been sent
to many of the cable companies
in the local area and favorable
replies have been received from
many.

warning that the threat of sabo

but relaxed.

The number of men who regis
tered for fraternity rush this year

higher standing are eligible to
rush. There is no scholastic aver
age requirement.
• MEN WHO WISH to rush are
not required to register, Coiadd
said, but registration helps the
fraternities by, providing a list
of men interested in rushing. The
list also provides rushees' schol
astic averages.

ners and parties at -fraternity
houses. Dinner is by invitation

rushees to meet and become ac
quainted with fraternity men, he
said,-
•
Rushees are encouraged to visit
as many houses as possible, Coz
add said. If dress for the occasion
is not stipulated, rushees should

mitted in fraternity houses past
1 a.m. on weekends or 2 a.m. on
all-University weekends. Fra
ternity men are not permitted in

sadi bids may be issued and re
ceived at any date, but freshmen
may not be officially pledged
before Feb. 10. Rushees must
have a 2.2 previous term average
or an all-f University average of
2.00 to pledge, he said.
All fraternities are presently
