Students have made good use of this new service, cashing over $25,000 woi'th of checks in the three weeks it has been in operation. $25,000 in Checks Cashed by SCCA By CAROL BLAKESLEE Almost $25,000 has been, handed out to students in the last two weeks by an enterprising group of students in the Hetzel Union Building. For you who are about to run over to get your share don't, unless you take your checkbook with you. The "enterprising group" is the Student Check Cashing Agency which operates at the HUB desk on weekends and in the Book Exchange during the week. Marcus Katzen. sophomore in business administration from Sykesville, said the SCCA cashed a total of 1166 checks worth a total of $15,103.06 in its first two weeks of operation, averaging about $7500 a week. Katzen said this was almost double the $4OOO per week they had originally estimated and "business is building up." The lines for cashing checks are very long, he said, around the 12:30 p.m. opening time and be tween classes. However, no t enough people cashed checks after 5 p.m. to warrant staying open until 5:30, Katzen said. As a result, the new hours will be 12.30 to 5 p.m., he said. In spite of the large amount of money handled, Katzen said there have been no bad checks passed yet. Checks have ranged in value from 79 cents to $llO, he said, al though there have been relatively few in the higher brackets. At present the SCCA is in the third week of a 6•week trial pe- A place where fraternities and sororities can have a really private party or banquet with perfect service in a pleasant atmosphere.

At the end of the trial pe riod, Katzen will report to the Student Government Associa tion Assembly on the SCCA's progress. Katzen said there would prob ably be no decrease in the rates for cashing checks for a "couple of years." The cost of cashing a check un der $lO is 10 cents. Other rates are: $lO.lO to $25.20 costs 20 cents; $25 20 to $5O costs 30 cents; and $5O to $125 costs 40 cents. Checks over $125 are not cashed. He said the $4OOO loaned by the Assembly to start the check cashing agency would have to be paid off first. "We expect to pay off about $750 in the first year," Katzen said. During the third week the total brought in was $9195.24. Katzen said the increase was due to banks being closed in Election Day and because of the Junior Prom. The total for the three weeks is $24,- 298.30. Holderman Will Speak At Engineering Meeting Kenneth L.

ISCOVER NOW OLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Court Asked To Explain Auto Rules By PHYLLIS PACK Mordecai Treblow, graduate student in chemistry from !Philadelphia, asked the mem bers of Traffic Court last night for an opinion on traffic rules and regulations. Treblow has received two tick ets for parking in Aiea 30. which is behind Osmond. He pleaded guilty under extenuative circum stances. He believes this area should be made available to the graduate students as they have to work several nights a week in the labs. Albert E. Diem. vice president of business administration, said last week that if any changes were to be made in the parking regulations, graduate students would be considered first. In presenting his case to the court, Treblow said he "believes that the present traffic regulations violate the spirit of, if not the substance of, the United States Constitution." The court decided to postpone its decision on the case until next Monday. Several court members plan to speak to Dean of Men Frank Simes this week concerning the present regulations. f .ere 3 Your WITH THE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN MUSIC OF THE 'SENTIMENTAL GENTLEMAN' WARREN COVINGTON DRESS; MILITARY FORMAL TICKETS $5 per Couple CIVILIAN SALES: Nov, 16, 17, 18, 19 NUB Desk - ROTC CADET TICKET SALES= Nov. 16, 17, 18, 18 Detachment Offices Parading Coeds Decorate Mail At Angel Flight Drill Practice "A -T-T-E-N-T-I-O-N ! face!
