BEFORE TRUSTING TOUR FUTURE
TO ANY COMPANY, ASK FOR
SOME LETTERS OF REFERENCE.
Y ou put more than just your savings into
a retirement company. You put in
your trust and hopes for the future, too. So
before you choose one, ask some questions.
How stable is the company? How solid are
its investments? How sound is its overall
financial health?
A good place to start looking for answers
is in the ratings of independent analysts.
Four companies, all widely recognized
resources for finding out how strong a
financial services company really is, gave
TIAA their top grade.

apply to CREF.)
And TIAA—which, backed by the company’s
claims-paying ability, offers a guaranteed rate
of return and the opportunity for dividends—is
one of a handful of insurance companies nation

□ Questions and

MSC Political Forum is host
ing a panel of speakers tonight
to address the concealed-hand-
gun law which goes into effect
Jan. 1,1996.
“Back in the Holster and Un
der the Jacket” begins at 8:30
p.m. in 292A MSC. State Rep.
Steve Ogden of Bryan, University
Police Department Director Bob
Wiatt and National Rifle Associa
tion member Dave Burdett will
answer questions from the audi
ence and discuss their concerns
with the new handgun law.
Refik Sahin, MSC Political Fo
rum director of student programs,
said the discussion should gener
ate attention within Bryan-Col-
lege Station because citizens will
need to know the repercussions of
carrying handguns.
“We’ve targeted the communi
ty as well as the campus,” Sahin
said. “I’ve informed the school dis
tricts because this could affect
their work, too, because of gang
activity in the schools.”
Wiatt said he wants to em
phasize the law’s provisions
about where concealed hand
guns are not permitted.
“The program should be educa
tional to [students],” he said. “It
should alert them to get a hand
gun license and warn them that
simply having a license is not
carte blanche to carry a weapon
any and everywhere.”
