Insurance for You
This year’s Student Senate made what is probably the
greatest contributioh in the history of the body Thursday
night when they chose the 12-month non-compulsory acci
dent insurance policy for A&M students.
Despite an earlier set-back in a referendum election on
a compulsory policy, the Senate bounced back to its feet and
through months of work and searching they found what
seems to be the best insurance policy available for students.
Now all that remains for students is to take advantage of
the policy.
Joe Ross, Civilian senator, has said that 2,250 students
are needed to make the plan go over. It’s now up to as many
students as possible to take advantage of the policy.
This policy can be of great aid to those students who
might have financial difficulty in case of an accident either
during the school year or while on vacation. Such students
would be sacrificing their own welfare by not being prepared
to meet any such emergencies.
The Senators have provided the policy for the students
in their interest for welfare of Aggies. Now it’s up to stu
dents themselves to look after their own welfare and sign
up for the policy next year.
Good Leadership
Filings are open now for officers and committee heads
for the Student Senate under the new organization approved
by the Executive Council Thursday and the May 13 deadline
is drawing near.
Under the new organization better representation than
ever will probably result and it will be the responsibility of
the better qualified students to file these positions.
Regardless of how good a plan the Senate operates under
next year, it will only be as good as the men who will lead it.
