            CARILLON FUND, INC. ANNUAL REPORT


               Message from the President
                    December 31, 1996

We are pleased to present the 1996 Carillon Fund, Inc. Annual
Report. All of our portfolios recorded positive returns during
the year and surpassed the average results of underlying funds
with similar investment objectives as reported by Lipper
Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service. This
excellent year of relative performance accomplished our goal set
out in last year's annual report. The encouraging details on
each of the portfolios' successes are included inside this
report.

ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS

A positive surprise for financial markets during 1996 was the
strength of the U.S. economy. Higher-than-expected growth
emerged from an economy that looked tired and run down early in
the year from slow 1995 Christmas sales, government shutdowns,
severe winter weather, and a General Motors strike. The economic
climate warmed up right along with the weather as GDP grew at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.7% in 1996's spring quarter
and continued to display buoyant levels of economic activity in
the final two quarters of the year. If the economy wasn't enough
good news for investors, the rate of price inflation also
remained at a reasonable level which helped to keep monetary and
interest rate policy stable during much of the year. It just
doesn't get much better than this. The total inflation numbers
showed some increase as energy prices led by crude oil and
natural gas pushed higher, but the underlying inflation rate
(without energy) was the lowest in many years.

The good economic news also included higher-than-expected
corporate earnings and stocks celebrated the development with an
advance on Wall Street that kept right on rolling. The earnings
gains were aided by the good economy and continued corporate
cost control. Stocks also benefitted from the demand side of the
equation, as record net inflows into equity mutual funds looking
for high returns continued at a brisk pace. The bond market had
a more difficult year, as the stronger-than-anticipated economic
growth both surprised fixed income investors who were
anticipating a slower economy and worried them that inflation
and short-term interest rates might subsequently increase.
However, the events of the second half of 1996 allayed some of
these fears and the bond market was able to display positive
total returns for the full year.

VALUATION LEVELS

We believe that the stock market continues to be substantially
overpriced compared with historical valuation levels. Ratios of
current stock prices to various valuation techniques remain much
higher than long-term averages. This overvaluation should
restrain future stock market advances, and the market's value
should return closer to historical norms sometime during the
late 1990s. However, since we never know the exact timing of a
return to a long-term, historical valuation level, we won't be
too surprised if the unrelenting advance of stock prices lasts a
little longer. Bond prices seem more closely aligned with
longer-term economic and inflationary conditions and should
continue to produce modest returns close to their interest rate
levels.

OUTLOOK

The Equity Portfolio will remain substantially invested in
stocks, as always. However, security selection has headed more
towards smaller, less well-known domestic stocks and more into
developing country markets. Both areas appear to provide better
long-term valuation in relation to growth prospects than do the
larger capitalization U.S. and European stocks so popular today.
The Capital Portfolio's position is conservatively positioned
due to our reluctance to commit large amounts of funds into an
historically high stock market. Although 1997 has begun with a
substantial rally that may well have further to go on the
upside, several historical factors argue for a weaker finish to
the year. These include what has happened in the past after two
strong market years, the first year of an incumbent president's
term, and when valuation are historically extended. Therefore,
despite the long-term outperformance of stocks as an investment,
more conservative investors may want to allocate a higher-than-
normal portion of funds to fixed income investments, such as our
Capital Portfolio has done. Corporate earnings should provide
the key to stock market performance this year both for
individual companies and the market as a whole. We will be
watching these numbers carefully.

Individual Portfolio reports are included within this report.

management and service related to all portfolios. We want each
Contract Owner to feel confident that investing with Carillon

CARILLON FUND, INC.
EQUITY PORTFOLIO

We are very pleased with the 1996 performance of the Carillon
Equity Portfolio. The Equity Portfolio bested the S&P 500 Stock
Index for the fifth time in the last six years and also
outperformed more than 75% of its growth fund peers with a 1996
return of 24.5% (see below). In a year when large capitalization
stocks were the best gainers, the excellent performance for 1996
in the smaller capitalization-dominated Equity Portfolio
resulted from investment in three different areas: 1)
energy-related companies that benefitted from higher prices for
oil and gas and or outstanding exploration success; 2)
small-to-medium sized financial stocks that benefitted from
lower interest rate levels; and 3) real estate issues that
performed extraordinarily well in 1996's fourth quarter as
institutional investors finally discovered one of the stock
market's last vestiges of undervalued asset classes. The
Portfolio also benefitted from strong gains posted by several of
its underfollowed small capitalization growth holdings whose
solid fundamentals were recognized by the market. AEP
Industries, Morningstar Group, and Helen of Troy all more than
doubled in price during the year. These long time holdings
demonstrate the Portfolio's strategy to buy good companies at
reasonable prices not only for short-term gains, but also to
hold for long-term price appreciation.

Morningstar, Inc. awarded the Equity Portfolio a composite
rating of (four stars shown in parentheses) as of December
31,1996, signifying above-average performance for the 1,013
funds in its category (see following page). The following table

The Equity Portfolio continued to add to its holdings of
companies with above-average returns on equity, favorable
historic sales and earnings growth, and strong balance sheets
whose stocks sell at low price-earnings ratios. Our concerns
about U.S. equity market valuations have prompted us to look
overseas, and several of the Portfolio's recent purchases have
been foreign securities. We are especially constructive toward
emerging markets that are experiencing faster economic growth
than the U.S. yet whose stock markets are selling at lower
price-earnings ratios than our domestic market. When investing
in emerging markets, we prefer world-class companies that not
only compete effectively domestically, but also globally. In
addition, the Portfolio has repositioned its energy exposure as
we remain optimistic about commodity prices, especially natural
gas, but have sold some issues that had made outsized movements
in price. Looking ahead, while the Equity Portfolio remains
fully invested. we anticipate increased volatility in the stock
market and will be highly selective in our individual security
choices as we believe that earnings disappointments will
increase in 1997.

Carillon Fund, Inc.
Capital Portfolio

The Capital Portfolio recorded a strong return for 1996 and
finished the year nicely ahead of the average Lipper Flexible
Fund. We are especially pleased that the Portfolio was able to
outperform its benchmark during a strong period for equities,
despite being underweighted in the asset class. The above
average results were attributable to the performance of the
Portfolio's stock and bond positions. Energy-related and
financial issues made positive contributions to the Portfolio
due to tight oil and gas markets and low interest ratcs,
respectively. Large gains were also posted by several of the
Portfolio's long-time stock holdings, including AEP Industries,
Trizec Hahn, Bayer AG and Lindsay Manufacturing. In addition,
the Portfolio's bond position held up well during a volatile
period for fixed income investments due to its less interest
rate sensitive nature.

Morningstar, Inc. awarded the Capital Portfolio a composite
rating of (three stars shown in parentheses) as of December 31,
1996, signifying an average performance for the 1,247 funds in

The Capital Portfolio is a professionally managed asset
allocation fund that shifts assets among stocks, bonds, and
money market instruments to take advantage of opportunities that
the portfolio manager believes will yield the most desirable
returns. The table on the following page highlights the
allocation of fund assets at December 31, 1996, six months ago,
one year ago and at a long-term portfolio allocation.

A strong U.S. economy with low unemployment and interest rates
set the stage for the U.S. stock market to reach record levels
in 1996. However, as we enter 1997 we believe that positive
corporate earnings comparisons will be more difficult to attain
in the face of a higher U.S. dollar, slowing economic growth,
and higher wage costs from a fully-employed economy that may
translate into inflationary pressures. Consequently, the Capital
Portfolio remains underweighted in equities, highly selective in
its individual security selection, and comfortable that its
cautious stance toward U.S. equity markets will be rewarded.
Recent purchases have centered around undervalued foreign
companies and energy issues. The Portfolio's bond allocation was
decreased during the second half of 1996 due to falling interest
rates. However, the Portfolio began 1997 overweighted in fixed
income securities due to their relative attractiveness versus
stocks. The Portfolio's fixed income position continues to have
a shorter-than-average duration.

CARILLON FUND, INC.
BOND PORTFOLIO

The year 1996 was a difficult one for bond market investors
after 1995's spectacular returns. The market began the year
fully priced: 30-year bonds yields were at 5.95%, expectations
were for further easing, and success at budget balancing was
priced in. However, things unwound from the start. The failure
of January's budget negotiation steepened the curve from 80
basis points (bp) to 130 bp as the Fed eased 25 bp one last
time. The biggest surprise of the year for investors-the
strength of the economy in the first quarter-soon followed. By
the second quarter, the market had settled into the range that
existed until the fall elections, frustrating many investors.
President Bill Clinton's victory proved positive for bonds and
the curve flattened on balanced budget optimism. However, the
story turned bearish by year-end, as the consumer lull ended,
lower interest rates accelerated activity in housing and
construction, a combination of low inventories and cold weather
pushed oil prices higher, fears of the withdrawal of foreign
support from U.S. markets arose, and Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan warned of asset overvaluation.

For the year, 30-year yields rose 69 bp while the yield curve
flattened only 4 bp as measured by the 2-to-30-year bellwether
spread which decreased slightly from 80 bp to 76 bp. However, in
the absence of significant Federal Reserve activity, the short-
end of the curve steeped with 3-month bills rising 7 bp while
the 2-year rose 63 bp. Emerging market bonds continued their
comeback from depressed levels following the late 1994 Mexican
peso devaluation (34.6%). High yield corporate bonds provided
excellent relative performance (11.3%), especially versus U.S.
Treasuries (2.7%) and corporate bonds (3.3%). Overall, the bond
market had a total return of 3.6% as measured by the Salomon
Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index.

The Bond Portfolio had strong relative performance in 1996
outperforming broader market indices such as the Salomon
Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index. The incremental retum can
be attributed to two factors. First, the active sector
allocation strategy employed by the portfolio manager allowed
the Bond Portfolio to be overweighted to corporate bonds-whose
performance was excellent in 1996. In addition, further
investments were made in corporate bonds whose returns improved
relative to U.S. Treasury securities as investors favored spread
products. Second, the individual securities selected in each
sector, particularly in the corporate bond area, further
enhanced returns due to improving credit characteristics that
were eventually recognized by other investors.

Morningstar, Inc. continues to award the Bond Portfolio its
highest risk-adjusting rating (five stars are shown here) as of
December 31, 1996, signitying performance in the top 10% of the
341 of funds in its category (see following page). The Portfolio
continues its strong, long-term rankings based on total returns
surveyed by Lipper in its Variable Insurance Product Performance
Analysis Report.

CARILLON FUND, INC.
S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO

Common stocks, as measured by the S&P500 Stock Index, posted
excellent returns during 1996. The S&P 500 Stock Index gained
22.96%, while the Carillon S&P 500 Index Portfolio returned
23.37% (see below). The Carillon S&P 500 Index Portfolio was
ranked #1 out of 18 similar funds by Lipper Analytical Variable
Inurance Products Performance Analysis Service based on its 1996
ttal return results in its first full year.

The primary objective of the Carillon lS&P Index Portfolio is to
poduce a return that is highly correlated to the total return of
te S&P 500 Stock Index.  The focus of the portfolio manager is
to monitor and minimize the difference between the return of the
Portfolio and the return of the underllying S&P 500 Stock Index.
The Portfolio is designed to be highly correlated with the S&P
500 Inde, and transactions are limited to keep expenses low.
During 1996, the portfolio maintained a 99.9% correlated with
the uderlying S&P 500 Index.

The method used to create the Carillon S&P 500 Index Portfollio,
at its inception, was to select 300 stocks from the underlying
S&P 500 Stock Index that would closely replicate the performance
of the actual index. These 300 stocks were chosen to insure a
high correlation with the Index while keeping tansaction costs
at a minimum. During November 1996, the number of stocks was
increased from 300 to 350 to more closely track the Index while
stll keeping costs at a minimum. The 350 stocks selected
represent over 92% of the total market value of the Index.
Furthermore, the Carillon S&P 500 Index Portfolio was carefully
constructed to inure that the weighting in each of S&P's 90
industry category varied by less than 1% versus the actual S&P
500 Stock Index.

As 1997 unfolds, we will endeavor to build upon the success we
have had in managing the Carillon S&P 500 Index Portfolio. We
are confident that we can, and will, continue to provided a
return that is highly correlated with the underlyling S&P 500
Stock Index.

CARILLON FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Carillon Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load,
diversified, open-end management investment company.  The shares
of the Fund are sold only to The Union Central Life Insurance
Company (Union Central) and its separate accounts to fund the
benefits under certain variable insurance and retirement
products.  The Fund's shares are offered in four different
series - Equity Portfolio, Capital Portfolio, Bond Portfolio,
and S&P 500 Index Portfolio.  The Equity Portfolio seeks long-
term appreciation of capital by investing primarily in common
stocks and other equity securities.  The Capital Portfolio seeks
the highest total return through a combination of income and
capital appreciation consistent with the reasonable risks
associated with an investment portfolio of above-average quality
by investing in equity securities, debt instruments, and money
market instruments.  The Bond Portfolio seeks a high level of
current income as is consistent with reasonable investment risk
by investing primarily in long-term, fixed-income, investment-
grade corporate bonds. The S&P 500 Index Portfolio seeks
investment results that correspond to the total return
performance of U.S. common stocks, as represented in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITIES VALUATION - Securities held in each Portfolio, except
for money market instruments maturing in 60 days or less, are
valued as follows:  Securities traded on stock exchanges
(including securities traded in both the over-the-counter market
and on an exchange), or listed on the NASDAQ National Market
System, are valued at the last sales price as of the close of
the New York Stock Exchange on the day the securities are being
valued, or, lacking any sales, at the closing bid prices. 
Securities traded only in the over-the-counter market are valued
at the last bid price, as of the close of trading on the New
York Stock Exchange, quoted by brokers that make markets in the
securities.  Other securities for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 
Money market instruments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or
less held in each Portfolio are valued at amortized cost which
approximates market.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Securities
transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date the order
to buy or sell is executed).  Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis.  All amortization of discount is recognized currently
under the effective interest method. Gains and losses on sales
of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis for
financial reporting and tax purposes. 

FEDERAL TAXES - It is the intent of the Fund to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net
investment income and any net realized capital gains.  Regulated
investment companies owned by the segregated asset accounts of a
life insurance company, held in connection with variable annuity
contracts, are exempt from excise tax on undistributed income. 
Therefore, no provision for income or excise taxes has been
recorded.

DISTRIBUTIONS -Distributions from net investment income in all
Portfolios are declared and paid quarterly.  Net realized
capital gains are distributed periodically, no less frequently
than annually.  Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.  All distributions are reinvested in additional shares of
the respective Portfolio at the net asset value per share.

The amount of distributions are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles.  These "book/tax" differences
are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.  To the
extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their
federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not
require reclassification.  Distributions which exceed net
investment income and net realized capital gains for financial
reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as
distributions in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains.  To the
extent they exceed net investment income and net realized
capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of paid-in-capital.

EXPENSES - Allocable expenses of the Fund are charged to each
Portfolio based on the ratio of the net assets of each Portfolio
to the combined net assets of the Fund.  Nonallocable expenses
are charged to each Portfolio based on specific identification.

NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES - The Fund pays investment advisory
fees to Carillon Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser), under terms of an
Investment Advisory Agreement (the Agreement).  Certain officers
and directors of the Adviser are affiliated with the Fund.  The
Fund pays the Adviser, as full compensation for all services and
facilities furnished, a monthly fee computed separately for each
Portfolio on a daily basis, at an annual rate, as follows:

      (a)   for the Equity Portfolio - .65% of the first
$50,000,000, .60% of the next $100,000,000, and .50% of all over
$150,000,000 of the current net asset value:

      (b)   for Capital Portfolio - .75% of the first
$50,000,000, .65% of the next $100,000,000, and .50% of all over
$150,000,000 of the current net asset value.

      (c)   for the Bond Portfolio - .50% of the first
$50,000,000, .45% of the next $100,000,000, and .40% of all over
$150,000,000 of the current net asset value.

      (d)   for the S & P 500 Index Portfolio - .30% of the
current net asset value.

The Agreement provides that if the total operating expenses of
the Fund, exclusive of the advisory fee and certain other
expenses as described in the Agreement, for any fiscal quarter
exceed an annual rate of 1% of the average daily net assets of
the Equity, Capital , or Bond Portfolios, the Adviser will
reimburse the Fund for such excess, up to the amount of the
advisory fee for that year.  The Adviser has agreed to waive its
advisory fee and pay any other expenses of the S&P 500 Index
Portfolio to the extent that such expenses exceed 0.60% of its
average annual net assets.  As a result, for the year ended
December 31, 1996, the Adviser waived management fees of $40,752
for the S&P 500 Index Portfolio.

In addition to providing investment advisory services, the
Adviser is responsible for providing certain administrative
functions to the Fund.  The Adviser has entered into an
Administration Agreement with Carillon Investments, Inc. (the
Distributor) under which the Distributor furnishes substantially
all of such services for an annual fee of .20% of the Fund's
average net assets for the Equity, Capital, and Bond Portfolios,
and .05% of the Fund's average net assets for the S & P 500
Index Portfolio.  The fee is borne by the Adviser, not the Fund.

Carillon Advisers, Inc. and Carillon Investments, Inc. are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Union Central.

DIRECTORS' FEES - Each director who is not affiliated with the
Adviser receives fees from the Fund for service as a director. 
Members of the Board of Directors who are not affiliated with
the Adviser are eligible to participate in a deferred
compensation plan.  The value of each director's deferred
compensation account will increase or decrease at the same rate
as if it were invested in shares of the Scudder Money Market
Fund.

NOTE 3 - FUTURES CONTRACTS

S&P 500 Index Portfolio ("Index") may purchase futures contracts
on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.  These contracts
provide for the sale of a specified quantity of a financial
instrument at a fixed price at a future date.  When Index enters
into a futures contract, it is required to deposit and maintain
as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on
which the contract is traded.  Under terms on the contract,
Index agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount
among equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the
contract (known as the variation margin).  The variation margin
is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contract
expires or is otherwise closed, at which time the gain or loss
is realized.  Index invests in futures as a substitute to
investing in the 500 common stock positions in the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index.  The potential risk to Index is that the
change in the value in the underlying securities may not
correlate to the value of the contracts.

CARILLON FUND, INC.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Carillon Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities of Carillon Fund, Inc. (consisting of the Equity
Portfolio, Capital Portfolio, Bond Portfolio and the S&P 500
Index Portfolio), including the schedules of investments, as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods ended December 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively.  These financial statements
and financial highlights ("financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. The financial highlights presented for periods prior to
December 31, 1995 were audited by other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosure in the financial statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material  respects, the financial position of each of the
Portfolios of Carillon Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, and the
changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
