Insurance premiums are going up,
effective Sept. 1, 1976, for Univer
sity employes.
The Southwestern Life Insurance
Co., of Dallas, in a letter to Ray
Smith, director of personnel at
A&M, said that it will be necessary
to increase premiums for the System
Group Medical Insurance approxi
mately 48 per cent.
Premiums for the life insurance
and long-term disability plans prob
ably would remain the same.
Under the proposed rates, the
premium for an employe, with the
best medical insurance offered
under the System plan, will increase
from $14.65 to $21.68 per month.
Premiums for the same coverage for
an employe and one dependent will
increase from $32.50 to $48.10 and,
for an employe with two or more
dependents, the increase will be
from $44.65 to $66.08 monthly.
Southwestern Life said higher
claims than expected and inflation in
costs of medical treatment are the
reasons for the increase.
Ford reinstates tech office
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Ford on Tuesday signed a bill re
establishing the White House Office
of Science and Technology Policy,
dismantled three years ago by Presi
dent Nixon.
Saying that “a strong federal effort
in science, engineering and technol
ogy is critical to our future,” Ford
signed the legislation in an East
Garden ceremony attended by sev
eral leading American scientists and
engineers.
“This new office will provide an
important source of advice on the
scientific, engineering and technical
aspects of issues that require atten
tion at the highest levels of govern
ment,” he said.
The office will have a budget of $3
million for fiscal 1977. The bill also
includes $750,000 to support the of
fice between now and the end of the
current fiscal year in June and
$500,000 for the transitional quarter,

from July I until the new fiscal year
begins Oct. 1.
The President is expected soon to
name a director for the office who
also will serve as Ford’s science ad
viser. There will be four associate
directors and a staff of about 15.
The office will advise the Presi
dent on all aspects of science and
technology, including energy, ag
riculture, medicine, the economy,
the environment and use of re
sources. It also will advise the Na
tional Security Council on military
research.
Ford’s decision to recreate the of
fice by statute rather than by execu
tive order as previous presidents
have done, shows his intent to make
it a permanent part of the White
House establishment.
President Roosevelt set up the
first such office during World War
II. Its role lapsed after the war, but it
was revived by President !
Eisenhower in 1957 after the Rus
sians launched Sputnik I, the first
earth satellite.
Nixon abolished the office in 1973
and transferred many of its functions .
to the National Science Foundation.
He said the action was taken to save
money.
Texas drivers
may donate
body parts
Persons applying for a Texas ;
Driver’s License now have the op
tion of donating parts of their bodies
to a hospital if they are killed in an
accident.
The state legislature passed a law
that took effect in January, 1976, and
provides the basis for the donation
system.
When a person receives his new
driver’s license, he may sign a state- ,
ment on the back of the license in
which he specifies which parts of his ;
body will be made available upon his ;
death. The signature must also he
witnessed by two others.
If the donated part can be re
moved within a reasonable time after
death, the operation will be per
formed at the nearest hospital.
A hinderance with this program
lies in a state law which requires that
a body remain at the scene of death
until a justice of the peace has made
an investigation. This can delay re
moval of the body parts until they are
no longer useable.
The Department of Public Safety
does not keep records of how many
body parts have been donated, so it
is not known how many persons are
using the donation system.
Persons not wishing to donate
body parts should leave the back part
of their driver’s licenses unsigned.
