-U..4 The Ifallulion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 . Wednesday, May 1, 1957 For The Year Ahead Today a new staff takes over the reins of The Battalion. To these men falls the responsibility of pub lishing a paper written of A&M and for A&M. To these men will fall the responsibility of meeting the problems which will be coming up within th next year. The responsibility of meeting these problems goes further however for they must try to see what is best in the long run for the school and not for just students as individuals. Along with this they are faced with represent ing the people of College Station and covering the news and happenings in, and around this area. A&M is, and will remain, a great school. What these men do, and the help they receive from their classmates next year can go a long way toward helping to make it even greater. The personal bickerings, the departmental cliques and Civilian versus Corps hassels will come. What the new staff will do—this remains to be seen. Theirs is the responsibility to take this load an dcarry it out in the most objective and imperson al manner possible. It is our belief they will do a commendable job, both to the school and to their profession. — Jim & dave Steals Trash VICTORIA, Tex. (A>) — Louis J.

McCain Staff Photographers Don Collins Staff Cartoonist George Wise Circulation Manager Maurice Olian —,—____— — CHS Sports Correspondent Talk Continues Tonight About Insurance Plan Student Senate Hospital Committee will meet tonight w i t h two other insurance company representatives t o secure proposals for an in surance plan for the student body. The talks tonight are arranged with a representative from Univer sal Security Life and another from Lloyd’s of London. Lloyd’s of London has submitted one plan through an earlier meeting, and another agent is to offer a differ ent plan, according to Joe David Ross, of the Student Senate. The Hospital Committee has al ready discussed three other poli cies—one offered by North Ameri can of Philadelphia, the first plan submitted by Lloyd’s of London and another from Continental Cas ualty Company. After hearing and weighing mer its of these five policies the Hos pital Committee will rmike its rec ommendation to the Senate for action on the policies. To be se lected is the company as well as the type of coverage. Among the policies are blanket accident, sick ness, deductible accident and sick ness, and miscellaneous and va rious combinations. Prices of the policies are expected to vary in re lation to the amount and type of coverage. Ross says the policies all have several features in common, these being coverage for 12 months on a voluntary basis; the accident cov erage is $1,000 blanket medical ex penses plus another $1,000 in case of accidental loss of life or dis memberment; and $10 deductible on all claims. Two companies that have offer ed accident plus sickness coverage have been asked for rates on an approximate $750 sickness sched ule, in addition to accident cover age. Most of the policies submitted restrict participation to students who pay their medical service fee. Two policies under examination call for a minimum of 2,200 students for the policy to be effective. An other requires a 2,000 minimum. CATERING for ^ SPECIAL OCCASIONS Leave the Details to me.

The part of the play by George Bernard Shaw displays his famous wit on politics, religion, war, mu sic, manners and the possibility of man becoming a superman. But more important he discusses the life force in mankind, that deter mination not only to survive and procreate but to improve the race. Particularly does Shaw empha size that a “superman” is pos sible (not in the Nazi sense) and ideal, provided we devote our ef forts to developing more and bet ter life rather than improved dis tinction and death, according to Wiening.
