Insuranc< Offer Di* By ALYCE YOUMANS Staff Writer Several local insurance compa nies and agencies offer discounts to honor students. The Gamecock surveyed approxi mately 40 companies and found at least eight offering these discounts. Bankers' Life and Casualty Co. said they will give consideration to such a program if interested stu dents contact them. Another company doesn't give a discount but has a special program for students. A representative of John Hancock Mutual Life Insur ance Co. said their Olympic Stu dent Plan, which is in connection with the Olympic Program, offers students $10,000 in life insurance for $22 a year. Almost every insurance company in the Columbia area offers a dis count on auto insurance to male students under 25 who have had a registered driver's education pro gram through a school system. State Farm Insurance Co. and American General Insurance Cos. also offer honor student discounts. W. Ray Quattlebaum of State Mutual of Omaha said that they offer a discount on life and health premiums to non-smokers. Liberty Mutual offers the women with two cars a 20 per cent dis count if she has no male drivers under 25 using the cars. She is not eligible for 4his discount if she has been at fault in an accident within 40 months. The discount is raised one per cent for each 40 month period in which she is not at fault in an accident. Dwayne M. Carter said t h at South~western Life Insurance Co. has insurance designed especially for the college student. One agency had a choice of three plans.

True, the literary quality of the message may have lost something in translation to modern English, but t h e media remains. This by no means heaven-sent phenomenon seems to be highly selective in its occurrence. It is primarily confined to the beige walls of the men's restrooms. There was a theory expounded by a local sage that the quality and content of t h i s mysterious writing would be in direct relation to the location of the restroom. i Air umander, and Hendy Powell, were introduced at the Silver ieak' Here SCULPTURE EXHIBIT The "National Sculpture Exhibi tion '69" is now accepting entries for this year's program. Sponsored by t h e Southern Association of Sculptors, the program w i Il be shown at eight different galleries and m u s e u m s throughout the Southeast.

Kus I Classic Rose Hampton Court ur favorite as featured in arto n's PINION [ITION >mplete ection as well as ad silversmiths sat ecorates om Walls This t h e o r y was found to be groundless, however. It seems that, in many cases, not only is the same message related over the length and breadth of the campus, but the style of writing and the absence of literary pretension is universal. The message itself will not be related in this article because it would show a certain lack of taste. However, as one oracle put it (also on a wall), "Some people have very little else on their minds." On the lighter side, it seems that campus humor and satire is also made manifest across the plaster. For example, in the restroom on the third floor of the R u s s e I House, a veritable gold mine for t h e graffiti hunter, a scrawled s'gn above one of the commodes labeled it "the original sit-in." Also found in the archives were the seemingly esoteric messages "Che Lives" and "Custer died for our sins." Someone obviously practic ing for a future career in adver tising left the legend. Persons visiting the restroom in the basement of Davis are advised, this time with a felt pen, that the University does not allow swim ming in fixtures obviously placed there for other purposes. Under t h i s prohibition an anonymous critic has posed the question, "How about wading?" In the first floor restroom of Hamilton lies the earthy moral "There are two reasons why I like women-Raquel Welch." As a final example, a restroom in the beautiful new Humanities Center boasts the inscription "if you lived here, you would be home by now." According to informed sources among the females of the species, there is a total absence of social comment or any other comment, on the walls of their similar facili ties. This leads us to believe that either they have spotlessly clean valls or that they steadfastly re fuse to admit that they haven't. The Blossomn Shop F LO RIST S Devine and Saluda A Well.
