Senate Insurance (Continued from Page 1) The planners for the blanket pol icy had scanted for another com pany searching for cheaper rates. They thought one was found yes terday. The company they had in mind first said it could write the policy cheaper. When it discov ered the senate wanted a policy for all the time instead of one to cover campus accidents, the com pany backed out, Weber said. Weber said someone in the sen ate asked why the College could n’t set up and administer its own insurance policy. He said the person told the sen ate that the company would defi nitely make money on the deal, so the college might as well run it for the benefit of the students. Weber said this was impossible since the college is a State Insti tution. Persons who already hold an in surance policy will be penalized under this plan, Weber said. But he said most students did n’t have any accident insurance. He said a group he discussed the plan with decided the company wouldn’t make a lot of mohey. The group figured how much money the company would have paid out last weekend alone. About $3,300 is what they turned up, Weber said. He said the group included five THURS. & FRIDAY TIGHTER and TIGHTER it draws you into the dread embrace of a soulless terror! — A L S O — accidents—'One death, and four traffic accidents—in its estimate. About 5,000 students will be re quired to participate in the plan if the proposal gets a majority in the general election, Weber said. The company that has offered to write the policy is in Houston, Weber said. “It is a reputable company,” he said. He said the company that will write the policy carried insurance with Lincoln National Insurance Company, which is large enough “to pay off if every guy around here dies.” Parr Trial Jury Can’t Get Verdict HOUSTON, OP)—After over 12 hours of work the George Parr mail fraud trial jury had reached no verdict last night.

Some of them planned trips to their own bowl games and others shed a few last tears for the football season and prepared for bas ketball. TCU Frog ticket powers looked contented as they sorted the 15,000 Cotton Bowl tickets issued them for this year’s “classic” on New Years Day, while elsewhere on the pages of the Skiff, the sports editor reasoned that the “Croakers” were 23 points better than their opponents, Syracuse University. This came after a long-winded trail leading through four regular season games involving five teams. But he shook a verbal warning finger when he said “The Frogs have no push-over on their hands”. The editor seemed anything but rested as he lashed out) with four scalding editorials in the same issuer One called for mort “voice-losing” at basketball games this year and another rapped the Student Congress for not planning a method of distribution for the student directories before printing the things. A third piece urged that officials work harder on a parking prob lem solution, saying that “next year is almost here”, and the last knocked the “Purple-Lights-on-the-Chapel-After-Every - Athletic - Vic tory” tradition which an un-named group seems to be trying to impose on the Toads. He compared the “purple” lights to the “bruised under side of a pale green toad.” Maybe. BAYLOR A letter concerning the forthcoming liquor election in Baylor’s home county, McLennan, on the pages of the* Lariat was headlined “A Firm Conviction” and signed “Nose Brotherhood”. “If you drink, drink; if you fly, drink”, it recommended. Elsewhere in the pages, we find ai Waco touirst agent has in stigated a “Baylor Bear Special” to go to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans New Year’s Day for that “classic”. Thel trip is complete with special rates for little bears, game tickets and best accom modations. Only thing is, it seems as if no Bears have signed up for the trip. However, they “expect some before the end\ of the week.” SMU Here is a team with a poor football record that is not going to a “classic”. But an assistant sports editor is already planning ahead for 1 next year, when he hopes to instill compulsory, organized yelling at games of the Horses. After observing the “ATO’s” beat the “Dekes” in the championship intramural basketball game, he decided that it was due in part to good yelling on the part of “ATO”. “It might be a good idea to have the freshmen go together to the football games,” he said in applying his theory toi football. “They might make ai sizable group inj some sort of uniform garb, say, white shirt or blouse, blue pants or skirt and the perennial red beanie.’ 1 ’ He suggested forcing the first-yearers to attend the contests through sororities, fraternities and by “making it sound like an old tradition which no one would dare break”.
