In effect next month, the pro- gram was set up this spring and summer by Student Government Council.Other schools, including Michigan -State University, have had similar programs for some years. Representatives of the company offering the SGC-sponsored insur- ance will be available during regis- tration hours this week in the Student Activities Bldg. Students may discuss the program with them or purchase insurance at that time. Student Rates SGC member Scott Chrysler, '59, in ,charge of the program, calls it far above" those at other schools The $12.75 rate covers unmar- red' students not wishing mater- nity benefits. Married student rates are higher. Under the program administer- ed by the D e tr o i t Insurance Agency, insured students would receive up to 135 days paid hos- pitalization, blanket coverage up to $3,000, surgical coverage up to $300, and miscellaneous medical expenses up to $1,000. 'Completely aside from the pro- gram are the benefits given stu- dents fre'e of charge through Uni- versity Health Service. Hospitalization: 135 Days Following are the rates beyond the- initial $12.75 charge for un- married students: student with matrenity benefits, $22.75; student and spouse, $39.50; same with ma- .ternity benefits, $49.50; student, spouse and children, $47.50; same with maternity benefits, $57.50. The plan provides 120 days hos- pitalization at $18 per day. The additional 15 days hospitalization from Health Service brings the total covered to 135 days. Accident coverage, according to Chrysler, is only $1,000 at most other colleges. He calls the mis- cellaneous medical benefits the "most.outstanding" in the policy. Doctor's Calls Doctor's calls, under the plan, will be covered after the second call. The insured pays for the first two. The benefit is payable in hospital, home or doctor's office. Maternity benefits pay up to $150 for normal birth or Caesarian section for all hospital room and board, hospital extras and doctor charges, or $50 total for all room and board, hospital extras and doctor charges for misarriages. All students carrying four or more credit hours, both under- graduate and graduate, and those part-time students carrying less than four hours who pay the health service fee are eligible for insurance. ORIENTATION PROGRAM: Group Leaders Have To Know How By SUSAN HOLTZER , One orientation leader said it and the others agreed. "The thing is, a freshman is entitled to be confused. But if the leader doesn't know something- well, he can't not know it. He's got to know everything." And so the worst cases of buck fever during this year's orienta- tion program are to be found among group leaders. It's easy to recognize a group leader. He's the one with a badge4z. on his shirt, a portfolio under his arm and a hunted look in his eyes. Leaders Spotted One can narrow them down to even smaller categoiies by further distinguishing characteristics. A furrowed brow means too many questions that can't be answered. A harrassed look means a probable shortage of materials. And a va- cant, fatalistic look means that an irrevocable mistake has been made. Both the group leaders and Uni- versity authorities are taking the orientation program very seriously indeed. One innovation this year is a special Group Leaders' Workshop, established and directed by Allen Menlo, of the School of Education. -Daily-David Arnold There are constant discussions ORIENTATION WORRIES-Among the new students, a transfer among the leaders, with exchange In a freshman group and the erY of, "Ol , I lost them!" of ideas on the handling of their charges.

And all students eligible aca- demically are eligible to work on The Daily. At the same time, much valuable experience can be gained in the fields of advertising, public relations, writing and pho- tography. Since no previous experience is needed, all students can try out for editorial, sports, business or photography staffs. All that's needed is some interest in meet- ing people and in working to turin out what has often been rated one of the country's top college news- papers. Tryout meetings -- where in- terested persons have a chance to find out what lies in store for them at The Daily-for the busi- ness staff are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. 0 16 hours credit may be o students who have taken ted college-level courses in ,hool under a nation-wide a administered b the Col- trance Examina ion Board. plan is one of two in opera- the University this year ire designed to benefit gift-, lents Two other new cur- re expected to increase in- n science.
