Notice of intention to terminate the agreement must be submitted in writing to the office of the Dean of Men on 0 r before January 21. Refund Returned A student who elects to termi nate his agreement will receive a refund of the $25 room reserva tion deposit, providing his charges for the semester have been paid in full. Mr. Loman stated that students desiring to remain in the dormi tories need not file a n otice of their intention. “It is hardly possible ti accom modate those students ask for adjustments in charges be cause of special conditions, such as frequent absence from the campus or changes in the college calendar. T ( , alleviate the unnec essary handling of finances, stu dents are assessed on a semester basis,’’ said Mr. Loman.
