Student Insurance Plan Is Viewed

Approximately 50 par cent of
Fresno State CoUege Students
are Insured under the school-
recommended policy, toe re¬
mainder being covered by Indi¬
vidual plans or not Insured at all,
according to Dr. Marvyn S.

Insurance   which   is automatic.
However, a special policy In¬
suring the members of all Inter¬
collegiate athletic teams Is re¬
quired by state law. One reason
advanced Is tost toe regular
health Insurance plan does not
cover lnterscholastlc athletic In¬
juries and pays only a percentage
of the medical expenses Incurred
because of fractures.
The six or 12 month non-re¬
newable student policy Is offered
only to full time students, their
dependent wives and/or chUdren
by Hlgham, NeUson, Whitrldge
and Held, Inc. It Is underwritten
by the American United Life In¬
surance Company of Indianapolis,
Indiana.
Designed to begin where the
CoUege Health Center ends, the
plan has no age limit and covers
costs lor illness or accidental
Injury while the policy Is in ef¬
fect and resulting expenses oc¬
curring within a one year period.
With a limit of $2,000 tor hos¬
pitalization, It also pays tor lim¬
ited surgical, emergency out¬
patient, medical, consultation,
ambulance and dental Injury bills.
All resident and foreign students
are required to carry this policy.
Dean Albright listed several
features  which  led  the Admto-
lnstancc, it has 75 per cent of
the business of California col¬

hensive coverage makes It easy
to administer.
He also said the company has
an excellent reputation tor paying
claims and explained that In his
nine years of experience at Fres¬
no State College, less than five
protests from either parents or
teachers have reached him. Dr.
Schwartz quoted the figure of
$49,000 worth of claims paid by
the company to FSC students
last year as proof of Its liberal
