Check-Cash Plan
Of Frosh Board
Called 'Ridiculous'
FIVE CENTS
A plan to establish a Student Check Cashing Agency
proposed by the Freshman Advisory Board was termed
"ridiculous" yesterday by George L. Donovan, coordinator
of Student Affairs.
The plan was to be presented for approval at the SGT.
Assembly at 7:30 p.m. Thursday
by Marcus Katzen, freshman ink
business administration from
Sykesville. rof
Katzen planned to ask the As
sembly to provide a $4OOO loan
to his committee to set up the
agency
Donovan's main criticism of
the proposed plan was that, in
his opinion several major de
tails had been left ogt.
He cited the lack of a system
for handling any bad checks
which might be received. He said
the agency might turn into a
"sucker deal." •
Donovan also criticized the
lack of any definite system for
alternating shifts and checking
the cash box in and out.
"This should not be student ac
tivity," he said. He said the rou
tine of candidate board, sopho
more board and so on was "cor
ny."
Then agency would work
better, he said, if it were run
with help from the Student
Employment Agency.
Donovan did say, however, that
there "seems to be a need" for a
check cashing agency for stu
dents.
However, the proposed .plan is
"very weak" even though it has
"possibilities."
Katzen and his committee will
meet with Donovan at 2 p.m. 0-
, day to discuss the plan further.
I Under the present SCCA plan,
students would be able to cash
any check from $5 to $35 for a
fee of 10 cents to 35 cents, de
pending on the amount of the
check.
Checks up to $125 would be
honored. Katzen said, if they
were drawn on the government,
a corporation, the University or
town merchants.
The only identification needed,
he said, would be the student's
matriculation card.
The SCCA would be open Mon
day through Saturday afternoons
and probably all day on big week
ends and during Orientation
Week, Katzen said.
It would be run, he said, on a
plan similar to the Book Ex
change, with candidates, training
board, sophomore board, junior
board, senior board and a board
of control.

Virginia Military Institute has been added to the Penn
