he lectured to pay a damage deposit, for the Col
:ege has provided that this be paid in a lump sum
of one (toile) pm student at the beginning of the
school yea] in Septembei, iather than being ap
plied equally to both semesters as are all the other
regular fees
Now a fee of $1 per year foi each student does
not seem too much to ply, especially in view of the
fact that this money is deposited as a guarantee
against damage of College property, any re
ni.undei of which may be disposed of at the close
at the school yea) by the student body
Nevertheless, the Collegian believes that this
damage deposit has outlived its usefulness, out
lived it to such a point that today Instead of pre
venting damage to property It actually is encour.
aging it.
:That this is so was clearly evidenced during the
mob riot last September, when students, perhaps
unawaie of the fact that the deposit covers dam
age only to College property, proceeded to destroy
pigvate piopeity and Boiough property Just Ito
"get oni money's north"
— gird is that the damage deposit, co iginally in
eluded in the <•tudent fee', as a preventative, has
now become an incentive And when such a revolu
tion in reasoning occur', it is time'to do something
toast' uctive—and to do it before additional dam
age is done
The Collegian, therefore, hopes sincerely that
die administration, fully aware of this condition,
will move to discontinue the damage deposit.as a
regular feature of student fees and substitute,m
stead a penalty fee every time the students cause
damage to any property—after thtit daMage has
'been 'done
In that way, the pinch would be 'felt 'more
strongly And, above all, the original incentive
