Dave Bergen, Department of Stu- ■nt Activities advisor, said Texas &M has dealt with Keystone Life ■ranee Company for the past pi years. He said the University’s irrent three-year contract with fitone is up for renewal next Au- >st. At that time, representatives from psA&M, Moody College, Prairie iewA&M University and Tarleton State University will meet with a Keystone to discuss the contract. Bergen said Texas A&M intends to renew the contract, but wishes to make a few changes in the plan. Bergen said, for instance, he would like to raise the ceiling on About 2,000 shares of the student insurance plan are sold per year, and about 250 claims are made. claims. Now the ceiling for claims is $7,000 for illness and $5,550 for acci dents. Bergen said he would like to raise both the ceilings to $10,000. Another change Bergen favors would add an optional maternity be nefit to the plan, which would cover hospital bills for pregnant women. Bergen said if this option was added the cost would be “astronomical,” but he feels it should be a part of the plan. larter’s ex-aide es prosecutor United Press International WASHINGTON — Former Carter campaign manager Tim Kraft is ing to court in the first constitutional test of the 1978 law that ggered appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate him.

Eric Langford, student govern ment vice president for student ser vices, said about 2,000 shares of the student insurance plan are sold per year. “There’s not a tremendous de mand for it,” he said, adding that student services does not publicize the plan a great deal. Of the 2,000 plans sold per year, Bergen said he recieves 200-250 claims per year. Bergen said he encourages any stu dent under the plan to file a claim even if the student thinks the plan might not cover the claim. Bergen said some of the bills the plan absolutely will not cover are regular dentist bills, hospital bills for pregnancy, and hospital bills due to injuries recieved in intercollegiate sports. If a student under the insurance plan wants to file a claim after an accident or illness, he should bring copies of the bills to Bergen’s office. Bergen will then fill out the claim form for the student and sends it to Keystone. Bergen said the claim usually takes 10-14 days, and the stu dent gets a check in the mail reim bursing him for the bills. If a student is interested in the plan, brochures are available in a rack outside 221 Memorial Student Center near the Browsing Library. The brochure contains information and an application. Students may also talk to Bergen, who is in 221 MSC. ‘New-chip ’stock now the big seller United Press International NEW YORK — The hottest stocks these days on Wall Street are not the bluechips but the “new-chips” — the virgin shares of America’s fledgling companies. Not since the go-go days of the late 1960s have investors crowded with such speculative fervor to get in on the ground floor of budding enter prises, some of which have only hopes and dreams to show on their balance sheets. This frenzied prospecting for the high-growth companies of tomorrow has sent many of this year’s new issues soaring to more than double their offering price. And, at a pace unseen in years, both emerging and oldline com panies have capitalized on the hulla baloo spirit to raise funds for expan sion and pay off debt and maybe even make a bundle of money for private backers simply by offering the public a piece of the pie. Last month’s offering of Genen- tech Inc., a pioneer in the new exotic science of genetic engineering, epi tomized the kind of hysteria with which investors have greeted many new issues. Even though the 4-year-old com pany had annual earnings of only 2 cents a share, investors scrambled to pay $35 to get in on a leading entry in a promising field. The demand so far exceeded the 1.1 million shares offered that the price skyrocketed to $89, and is now back down to the $44 range. Analysts expect the same kind of investor frenzy next month when Apple Computer Inc., a well- established leader in the manufac ture of personal computers, makes its long-awaited public offering. High-technology and oil and gas issues have been the main entrees on the menu of this year’s new offerings. n~DTi mm n M n n nrrn . 1 1 1 —111 SWENSEtfC ^^COOL WEATHER FAVORITES: • Hot Sandwiches & Hamburgers • French Onion Soup & Quiche Lorraine • Hot Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Hot Tea • Hot Apple, Hot Carmel, Hot Fudge Sundaes Culpepper Plaza • College Station 2 n't vT Ft iV i‘i i‘i Ft i‘i )‘i Ft ivrrTt MANAGEMENT TRAINEE OPPORTUNITY My Company is inter ested in interviewing Aggies that are responsi ble executive or sales- type individuals.
