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-

riod. 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.

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.
