The council heard Harold Goss, general agent for National Life Insurance in Kansas City, explain the program which could begin here next fall.
A resolution was made by Dean Salter, Garden City junior, to allow the student body president to select an independent representative to receive bids and set up the group life insurance plan.
Mr. Goss told the council that the plan was based on the association idea of insurance. Under this plan the premium rates for a $10.000 life insurance policy would be between $25 and $27. This compares to between $150 and $160 for an individual policy.
THE RESOLUTION WAS TABLED IN order to provide more time for the administration of the program to be formulated and for the members of the ASC to seek out student opinion about the proposal.
Before the resolution was tabled a straw vote was taken and the council unanimously approved the idea.
"People who could buy under the group plan probably couldn't buy individual policies," Mr. Goss, who wants to be the agent mentioned in Salter's resolution, said.
"We do not plan to add this to the bills of the student," Mr. Goss said. "But we want to say that this plan is available and is something good."
The policyholder is guaranteed further coverage (at normal rates) after graduation regardless of physical condition or occupation, two things which can be a detriment to a person seeking life coverage, Mr. Goss said.
THE POLICY WILL COVER AN individual from registration for a period of one full year. It would continue in force even if the person was graduated during that time.
Mr. Goss added that the policy is renewable annually and that a holder can drop from the program any time after the first year.
After graduation the policyholder is under no obligation to continue the policy.
The idea of having an independent representative, such as Mr. Goss, would be that such a person would be able to represent the policyholders here to the best firm. Thus if one company was not

Phone VI 3-3407 for Custom Order Service PREMIER JEWELRY — 916 Mass.
BRUNSWICK, Maine — (UPI) — Robert W. Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, last night contended that the United States might be under Communist control by 1972.
Welch told a Bowdoin college political forum that "as we move toward 1972 there will be a loss of freedom."
"WELL SEE the full scourge of brutal communist control over our country by 1972, if not before," the former Belmont, Mass., candy maker told a capacity crowd of 700 students, newsmen and townpeople.
Welch said he could see nothing on the horizon that would "change the course of this action."
In his 80-minute talk, Welch said he was not predicting that the communist takeover would come to pass but said "there are clear indications from past history" that it will.
Welch Says Communists Will Take Over U.S. by 1972!
"There has been no investigation of communist infiltration in government since 1956," he said. "Communists in government are climbing faster and higher than ever."
When Welch began his address, he held up a brief case and assured the audience it contained "no bombs."
WELCH'S TALK was punctuated with hisses, snickers and laughter.
"I don't have any horns? . . . I left my brown shirt with my black
armband in the laundry . . . and I put my fire-eating apparatus out for repairs," he said.
The Bowdoin political issues committee attacked Welch's appearance by distributing pamphlets to persons as they entered Packard theater to hear the speech.
The group said "it would be a mistake to consider the appearance of Welch at Bowdow as an endorsement of the John Birch Society."

The woman called Boyd yesterday to ask why her car hadn't been picked up and Boyd discovered that the brightly painted auto he had outside his shop was the one reported stolen by Allen.
