                             PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE


We are pleased to present the 1995 semi-annual report of the Nationwide
DC Variable Account.

The first half of 1995 proved rewarding for both stock and bond fund investors.
During this period, stock funds as a group scored a gain of almost 17 percent
while bond funds were ahead by over 9 percent, as measured by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc.

The economy slowed during the second quarter in deference to the Federal
Reserve's goal of a "soft landing". In early July the Fed trimmed the federal
funds rate 25 basis points, the first easing by the Fed in almost three years.
This move provided additional fuel to the markets in the current quarter.
Continued low inflation, favorable corporate earnings and slow but sustainable
economic growth should support further advances in the equity and fixed income
markets for the remainder of the year and into 1996.

We extend our thanks that you have selected our investment products to help you
meet your financial planning and retirement needs.



                                                /s/ Peter F. Frenzer

                       HOW TO READ THE SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT



This Semi-Annual Report is sent to all customers who own a Nationwide annuity
with all or some of the funds in the Nationwide DC Variable Account (the
Account). The Account is a separate account trust which invests in sixty mutual
funds from twenty-one mutual fund houses.

The Semi-Annual Report has three major financial sections.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY

This statement, found on pages 8, 9 and 10, lists all the funds in the Account,
the number of shares owned, the amount paid for the shares (i.e., cost) and
their market value on June 30, 1995. The funds are presented in alphabetical
order. The market value of the assets change as the underlying mutual fund
shares change in value. As contract owners make exchanges between the funds,
the number of shares in each fund increases and decreases. When money is
deposited by contract owners, shares of the mutual funds are bought by the
Account. The total market value of the funds is equal to the Total investments.

Accounts receivable is an asset of the Account for money market fund shares
added to the contract owners' accounts, but not yet added to Total investments.
Total investments plus Accounts receivable equals Total assets.

Accounts payable is a liability of the Account for money market fund shares
deducted from the contract owners' accounts, but not yet deducted from Total
investments.

Total assets minus Accounts payable equals Contract owners' equity. For a
summary of Contract owners' equity by fund series turn to page 15.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN CONTRACT OWNERS' EQUITY

These statements, found on page 11, show the activity in the Account from
January 1 to June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

The Investment activity section shows the changes in unrealized gain or loss of
the mutual funds in the Account, realized gain or loss as shares of the funds
are bought and sold, and dividends and capital gains earnings from the
underlying mutual funds.

The Equity transactions section illustrates the purchase payments received by
the Account as new contracts are sold, existing contract owners deposit
additional funds, contracts are canceled and annuity benefits are paid.

Expenses are the charges associated with the contract. Note 2 on page 14
outlines these charges.

Net change in contract owners' equity equals Investment activity plus Equity
transactions minus Expenses.

The Contract owners' equity at the beginning of the period plus the Net change
in contract owners' equity equals the Contract owners' equity at the end of the
period. Contract owners' equity at the end of the calendar year will equal the
Contract owners' equity at the beginning of the next year.

SCHEDULES OF CHANGES IN UNIT VALUE

As a contract owner, you invest in the mutual funds offered in your annuity
contract. However, you do not buy shares of the mutual fund. Instead, the
Account buys shares of the fund and you in turn purchase units of the Account.
The number of units you own will not change unless you contribute to or
withdraw money from your account. The value of your contract can change based
on the value of the units you own. For example, if you purchase 100 units at
$10 per unit, the value of your contract is $1,000. If the value of the units
increases to $12 per unit, your contract value increases to $1,200.  Therefore,
to determine the value of your account, multiply the number of units of each
fund you own by the fund's unit value.

The Schedules of Changes in Unit Value, found on pages 16-21, show you the unit
value at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period. The
percentage increase (decrease) in unit value shows how it changed in value.
This is computed by subtracting the beginning unit value from the ending unit
value and dividing the difference by the beginning unit value. This can be used
as a measure of the performance of the funds over the three semi-annual periods
reported.

As you review the following pages of the Semi-Annual Report, the Notes to
Financial Statements on page 12 will also help explain and clarify the various
statements and schedules.

        The contract owners' equity is affected by the investment results of 
each fund and certain expenses (see note 2). The accompanying financial 
statements include only contract owners' purchase payments pertaining to the 
variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for 
fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

        (c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

        The market value of investments is based on the closing bid prices at 
June 30, 1995. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific 
identification basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade 
date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is 
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

        (d) Federal Income Taxes

        Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations
of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the IRC. The
assets in this account are held pursuant to contracts with entities which are
exempt from Federal income tax. Because of this exemption, no taxes need be
provided for investment income or realized and unrealized capital gains. Annuity
payouts and withdrawal payments are taxable as wages when received by the
participants.

(2) EXPENSES

        Net purchase payments received for contracts issued before July 1, 1980,
represent contributions by the contract owners less a sales charge by the
Company of not more than 5%, to cover sales expenses. The Company does not
deduct a sales charge from purchase payments for contracts issued after July 1,
1980. However, if any part of the contract value representing participant
accounts that have been established under the contracts and held in the Account
for less than sixteen (16) years is surrendered, the Company will, with certain
exceptions, assess a contingent deferred sales charge. This charge will be
equal to not more than 5% of the lesser of all purchase payments received on
behalf of the surrendering participant or contract owner prior to the date of
the request for surrender, or the amount surrendered. Sales charges or
contingent deferred sales charges of less than 5% reflect actual variations in
expense (usually reduced agents' commissions). No sales charges are deducted on
redemptions used to purchase units in the fixed investment options of the
Company. Sales charges may be reduced or eliminated upon negotiated conversion
of the contracts to other investment programs offered by the Company or its
affiliates.

        The following administrative charges are deducted by the Company on
contracts issued before July 1, 1980: (a) an annual contract maintenance charge
of $8 assessed by surrendering units; (b) a charge for mortality and expense
risk assessed through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate
of 0.95%; and (c) a charge on complete redemption, equal to the lesser of $8 or
2% of the value of the account, except when such redemption occurs within 31
days of the anniversary date of the contract.

        For contracts issued beginning July 1, 1980 through April 30, 1991,
administrative charges include: (a) an annual contract maintenance charge of
$12 or $15, based upon administrative services provided, assessed by
surrendering units; and (b) a charge for mortality and expense risk assessed
through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual rate of 0.95%.

        For contracts issued beginning May 1, 1991, administrative charges
include a mortality risk charge, an expense risk charge and an administration
charge assessed through the daily unit value calculation equal to an annual
rate of 0.35%, 0.15% and 0.45%, respectively.

        Contract owners may negotiate an exchange privilege with the Company.
The exchange privilege provides for transfers of units among the various
investment options for each participant's account. The number of transfers
allowed, and any administrative charges associated therewith, are subject to
negotiation between the contract owner and the Company.

(3) SCHEDULE I

        Schedule I presents the components of the change in the unit values, 
which are the basis for contract owners' equity. This schedule is presented in 
the following format:
        -  Beginning unit value - Jan. 1 
        -  Reinvested capital gains and dividends 
           (This amount reflects the increase in the unit value due to capital
           gains and dividend distributions from the underlying mutual funds.) 
        -  Unrealized gain (loss) (This amount reflects the increase (decrease)
           in the unit value resulting from the market appreciation 
           (depreciation) of the fund.)
        -  Contract charges (This amount reflects the decrease in the unit value
           due to the mortality risk charge, expense risk charge and 
           administration charge discussed in note 2.) 
        -  Ending unit value - June 30 
        -  Percentage increase (decrease) in unit value.
