Insurance Man
Seeking Executive
Prospects Here
A representative of the Gen-eral
American Life Insurance
company of St. Louis will be on
campus tomorrow to interview
students interested in the execu-tive-
side of the insurance busi-ness.
Insurance representative,
Mr. Clyde E. Blocker, may be
contacted in Dean Olson's office
for the interview.
The General Life's plan is a
salaried plan set up to train in-surance
students in all phases
of insurance work. The program
is entitled a Charted Career
Training Program and lays em-phasis
on group insurance. With-in
the field lies sales expansion
possibilities while at the same
time offering a background for
all types of life insurance sales.
The program provides skilled
and thoughtful supervision for
a steady progress. A month to
month, year to year plan is set
up and members are directed to-ward
home office sales execu-tive
positions, sales agency su-pervisors,
senior group sales rep-resentatives,
divisional group
managers, and general agents
and district managers.
The representative will be on
campus all day in Dean Olson's
office for students interested in
the program.
Panel Convocation
Postponed Until
1an. 23 Program
The panel convocation which
was to be held on Jan. 9 has been
postponed until Jan. 23 so that
all administrative personnel will
be able to attend.
Students are still urged to mail
their questions to the Sigma Chi
fraternity house for selection and
screening by the Student com-mittee
which was selected from
the student body.
The success of this program
lies greatly in the hands of the
student on three counts: atti-tude,
interest, and participation.
The student's attitude should
be wholesome, objective, and 100
per cent honest.
Interest is self-explanatory
since the program directly con-cerns
the student and the uni-versity's
welfare.
Participation is at a minimum
of work since all a student need
do is mail his questions concern-ing
some subject of which he
has doubt.
This is an opportunity for ev-eryone.
Don't depend on your
fellow student's question, because
he may be counting on yours.
