Who Can Get Insurance?
Study Reveals Possible Discrimination
AUSTIN, (AP)—Ever feel you were
rejected for car insurance just because
you were old, physically handicapped or
recently divorced?
A House Subcommittee on
Automobile Insurance report indicates
that such suspicions may be justified.
The subcommittee’s report was
received by the full House Insurance
Committee, along with the work of
several other panels that studied in-
surance matters between lawmaking ses-
sions.
The auto report said the law should
require companies to file their un-
derwriting guidelines with the State In-
surance Board, where they would be
open to public inspection.
"An examination of the underwriting
guidelines we received shows the young,
the old, the recently divorced or
separated, persons incapable of speaking
English fluently and the physically han-
dicapped are likely to have difficulty ob-
taining voluntary market coverage," the
report said.
Bartenders, musicians, longshoremen,
dockworkers, automobile salesmen and
professional athletes are “considered by
many companies to be especially high
EPA Controls
Could Hamper
Texas Growth
SAN ANTONIO, (AP) —The
economic growth of San Antonio and
Texas will be limited by the En-
vironmental Protection Agency’s man-
dated air pollution control regulations,
Texas Air Control Board members were
told in a hearing last week.
“San Antonio faces severe economic
and social disruption due to the EPA's
mandated air quality control
regulations," said David Hemion,
Greater San Antonio Chamber of Com-
merce urban affairs staff manager.
The TACB is gathering public
testimony on proposed revisions of the
State implementation Plan for air pollu-
tion control. The plan must be submit-
ted to the EPA for approval by July 1.
Failure to submit an approvable plan
to the EPA will result in economic sanc-
tions against Texas, including a ban on
new industrial plants and the possible
withholding of federal highway funds.
But the federal agency regulations
“lack scientific data,” said Hemion and
C.C. Gunn, representing the Texas
Good Roads Transportation Associa-
tion.
"We feel the EPA must be chal-
lenged." said Hemion. "Even the Presi-
dent’s Council on Wage and Price
Stability has criticized EPA’s proposed
standards as being too stringent and
more costly to implement than the EPA
will admit.”
Gunn added, “Time and time again,
EPA has acted arbitrarily and without
reliable scientific data. No rational
person would be willing to pay the
tremendous economic and social cost of
the EPA plan, which is based on
questionable scientific data.
“Air quality standards always have
been referred to as health related or set
to protect the public health. But the
EPA never has stated how it chose
those standards.”
The agency cites Bexar County as one
of those areas in which the health of resi-
dents are endangered because standards
are not being met, the men said. But He-
mion presented letters from local health
officials who said there have been no
such complaints in San Antonio.
The two men also criticized the
economic sanctions if the EPA stan-
dards aren't met. “Congress has given
the EPA the authority to blackmail
every state in the union with threats of
economic growth," said Hemion.
Valuable Coupon
risks and undesirable insureds," it said.
The report said if the board doesn’t
curb “unfairly discriminatory practices”
by insurance companies, the Legislature
would.
The subcommittee rejected a staff
recommendation to eliminate age, sex
and marital status classifications for set-
ting auto rates—classifications that im-
pose the highest rates on single males
under 21.
But subcommittee chairman Rep.
Gene Green, D-Houston, said he would
introduce a bill prohibiting the in-
surance board from considering
anything other than driving experience,
vehicle use and vehicle charateristics.
Driving experience would include
traffic convictions, auto accidents and
the length of time one has been licensed.
Another subcommittee recommended
creation—for a two-year trial period
only—of a statewide group insurance
plan for teachers and other school
employees.

If a majority of a school district’s
employees opted for the plan, the district
would have to participate.
The subcommittee said a third of
Texas school districts offer no group
hospitalization insurance to their
employees.
The subcommittee on oversight
recommended legislation drawing a
clearer boundary line between the three-
member State Board of Insurance and
the commissioner who runs the in-
surance department.
“Currently, board members often deal
directly with division managers and
other staff, without consideration for the
administrative responsibilities of tfie
commissioner over personnel. Oc-
casionally, tasks are delegated directly to
the staff by an individual board member.
No clear understanding exists, either by
staff or by administration, of the separa-
tion of responsibilities of the board and
those of the commissioner,” the over-
sight report said.

Correll
Speaker To Air
Religious Views
William Milford Correll, Christian
Science lecturer, will speak at 12:30 p.m.
today in Room 412 of the University
Union.
The basic need everyone has for ap-
preciation, respect and love can be met.
and as our awareness of God grows,
solutions to problems begin to be found,
Correll says.
Correll is a graduate of Oberlin Col-
lege and has been a Christian Science
practitioner since the end of his World
War II service in France.
He served as First Reader of the First
Church of Christ Scientist in Boston,
Mass., and served as Associate Editor of
the Christian Science religious
periodicals. Correll has participated in
Christian Science radio and television
programs. He became a Christian
Science teacher in 1952.
Mickey Mouse
To Ride Amtrak
For 50th Birthday
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Amtrak says Mickey Mouse is
riding the rails from California to
Washington to celebrate his 50th
birthday with Amy Carter in the
White House.
The passenger rail corporation
said the famed cartoon character
created by Walt Disney left Los
Angeles Monday on the
Southwest Limited for Chicago.
On Thursday he’ll board the Car-
dinal for Washington, where there
will be a Friday reception at
Union Station followed by a
White House party.
Many contestants in a recent year's
road rally sponsored by the ROTC
detachment of the NT campus wondered
what happened to the road, as car after
car bogged down in the middle of a
muddy field.
A farmer left the barbed-wire gate
leading into his pasture wide open after
driving his tractor into the field, causing
confusion about directions for the rally
contestants. When contestants saw the
tracks and the open gate, many thought
the gate marked the first right turn after
the bridge that was described in the road
rally directions. They headed into the
pasture.
Later, during the keg party at the ral-
ly's finish line, participants described
how the farmer used his tractor to tow
the cars out of the mud left from rain the
day before.
THIS YEAR, confusion should be
minimized because the roads along the
route are heavily graveled or paved. The
rally will begin Saturday at 1 p.m. in
front of the University Union.
Entry forms are available in Room
142 of Kendall Hall and will be accepted
through 5 p.m. Friday. Each entry must
consist of two persons: a driver and a
navigator; a $2 entry fee is required from
each person.
Cadet Capt. Phil Patton, special pro-
jects officer, said the directions and
questions for this year’s rally will not be
tricky,
"But it is hard to keep track of where
you’re going and what you’re seeing at
the same time,” he said.
A TIME FACTOR also is involved in
determining a rally winner. Not only
must the winning team do the best job of
following directions and correctly
answering questions about the route, but
also must come closest to the secret
time limit set by Patton.
"I set a speed limit for all the cars to
keep the rally from becoming a race,”
Patton said. "Then I make a few runs of
the route with people who’ve never been
on it. I use the average time it takes to
complete the rally as my secret time
limit.”
This way, he will know if anyone
speeds. “The whole thing is to follow
directions. If a car finishes too fast, !’!!
know they didn’t follow directions,"
Patton said.
The finish line of the 65-mile road ral-
ly is a secret, too. The directions along
the way tell contestants where the rally
ends. For those who get to the finish
line, a keg of beer will be waiting.
