Insurance Committee Chairman
Jerry Johnson reported the next
lowest bid of $5.00 was submitted
by Pilot Life Insurance Co.
The same insurance plan can
be had on a year-roun- d
basis for
$15 a year, Johnson said. The reason for the higher price for the
full year plan In proportion to

the semester plan la that In the
summer months most students will
not be on campus where facilities
of the Infirmary are available.
Continental has rated the UK
Infirmary
grade "A" and thus
made a lower rate possible for the
periods when students will be on
campus the greater part of the
time.
Students must be treated at the
Infirmary if possible, because of
the infirmary's high rating.
The policy would provide a maximum of $1,000 for death or serious injury, such as the loss of both
eyes, hands, feet or combination of

any such loss.
Other payments provided for In

Student Congress Rejects
NSA Membership Motion
Student Congress decided against cultural exchanges, athletic events

sociation Monday night.
A surprise motion was made by
Garryl Sipple, Arts and Sciences
representative, to vote on NSA
immediately instead of postponing
the measure until a later time as
had been done earlier with a
recommendation that SC join another student government association. .
In the discussion that followed
Sipple's motion, charges were made
that NSA has members of alleged
Communist groups in its advisory
council.
Singled out for particular comment was David Reisman, administrator of an NSA fund to support college integration.
Taylor Jones cited a report by
J. B. Matthews, former McCarthy
Committee counsel, saying Reisman was "one of 61 Chicago
notables" who advocated the abolition of the House
Activities Committee.
Jones also read excerpts from
1955 NSA national convention minutes which advocated that member
schools work within their own
frameworks toward integration of
university facilities, athletic events.

units.
All but one representative voted
against NSA membership.
SC voted to postpone any action
on a recommendation by SC Vice
President Fred Strache that SC
affiliate with the Southern Universities' Student Government Association.
Strache cited the fact that
'membership in SUSGA is limited
to the area, roughly defined as the
South," and therefore might better
serve the regional interests of UK.
Entrance of Kentucky into
SUSGA would be under a new
constitution based on the former
SUSGA constitution, but containing changes recommended by SC,
Strache added.
SC will probably act on SUSGA
at next Monday's meeting.

SC Will Study Drinking Laws
proposal advocating repeal of
the Kentucky state law prohibiting
drinking on public property will
be studied by a Student Congress
committee.
The proposal was made Monday
night by Jerry Johnson. Pete Perl-maSC president, appointed
Johnson, Charles Cassis, Lessley
Decker and Kitty Smith to the
committee.
Johnson also proposed that SC
advocate the lowering of the legal
drinking age to 18. It will also be
studied by the committee.
Johnson said the present Kentucky laws are broken every day.
He cited drinking at athletic contests as an example.
Richard Roberts, Judiciary Committee chairman, said SC was
dealing with matters with which
it was not directly concerned. The
same opinion was expressed by Dr.
Ben W. Black, UK English professor and SC adviser.
Kitty Smith, Arts and Sciences
representative, said one midwest-euniversity had two beer parlors on campus. A motion was
passed to study how that university accomplished it.
Dr. Black said SC should not
try to make an issue of trying to
promote the repeal of the Ken
