Illinois Wesleyan Bloomington, Illinois, Wednesday, January 9, 1952 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. Petitions for Editor Now Being Accepted Petitions are now being ac-cepted for assistant editor of the ARGUS. The only absolute re-quirement for the position is a grade point average of at least 2.0 for all candidates. Petitions may be turned in at the desk of the Memorial Center or given to Lennie Genung. The deadline for petitions is Friday noon, Jan. 18. Reverend Hamill onvo. Speaker Rev. Robert H. Hamill A famous American personage, author, and Methodist minister will speak to Wesleyan's convo-cation on Jan. 16. Reverend Rob-ert H. Hamill, now pastor of the Ottawa St. Methodist church of Joliet, will speak on "The Cost and Value of Truth" in a Relig-ion in Life program. Rev. Hamill received national publication for his unique inter-view with Russia's Andre Gro-myko after the San Francisco peace conference last fall. He spoke to the Russian delegate in his train compartment for about 15 minutes regarding the Russian peoples' religious beliefs. He has degrees from both Northwestern and Yale and has served for three years at the director of the Wesley founda-tion at the University of Iowa.
