And. although many bills have several common items, they must be handled individually., Fee assessments for last semes ter totalled about $2,000,000' for civilian students and a bill of $557,000 was presented to the Vet erans’ Administration to cover the fees and books of the Gl’s. Schedules Sent to Bissey Late in August, Bissey and his staff begin preparing master cards with name, matriculation num ber, and .sex. All information available at the time is assembled. This information comes from' the Dean of Women, the housing de partment, the President’s Office, and the bursar. After students have registered,, a copy of each student’s schedule is sent to Bissey.

" “And a few of j;he cases have a humorous side,” he adds. “For example, women students pay a larger miscellaneous fee than men. If a male student named Susan has not otherwise indi cated his sex, he might easily be come a “she” to the staff and be charged the extra fee. Students who claim that they haven’t been charged enough get special attention. Bissey makes sure such an error hasn’t been made.
