University Stores Target
Of $28,909 In Bad Checks
ince Beginning Of Year
By DONNA FAGG j home.
Renewed interest has bcenj Because of the number of "bor
brought to the ageless problem of rowers," the Bank of Chapel Hill
bad cheeks by the introduction of : has initiated an unwritten policy
a "bad check" bill into the last cf limiting checks from out-of-session
of Legislature. The bill town banks to $25 and requiring
would make the writing of a bad ,
check an Honor Council offense.
Tom Shetley, University account
ant, noted in a recent interview
that he had handled $28,904 in
"rubber" checks since June 30.
The total includes checks cashed
through Lenoir Hall, the Book Ex
change, the cashier's office, the
Bull's Head Bookshop, the laun
dry, the electricity and water of
fice and the Monogram Club.
Shetley said, however, that
through the efforts of Don Lassi
ter, student check representative,
all except $731 has been collected.
That sum is not yet deemed "un
collectable." The policy of the University in
handling checks returned for insuf
ficient funds is first to re-deposit
the check, stated Shetley. If the
check bounces a second time, the
student representative informs the
person by letter. Failure to clear
the matter up brings a telephone
call. If the student ignores this
warning, stop orders are placed
on his grades.
Shetley noted that stop orders
bring quick results. He comment
ed mat mere was at least one
stop order a week placed on some
one's grades.
He was "frankly in favor of
making it (failure to honor a re
turned check) an offense that
would bring the student before the
Honor Council." However, he al
so said that he was "reluctant to
take action that would be put on
a student s permanent record.
W. R. Cherry, comptroller of j
the Bank of Chapel mil, leels that
there are two types of students
who bounce checks. There are
the "irresponsible students" who
fail to take care in balancing their
check books and the "borrowers
who knowingly write checks with
out funds to back them in an effort
to obtain money to tide them over
a big weekend or for cash to go.

"Each student is treated as an
individual," Cherry stated.
iuany 01 me cnapei rim mer
chants have expressed their dis
tress over the situation. One mem
her of the Merchants' Association
said that "Our chief complaint is
that, students make a loan agency
out of us. They go off for a week
end after cashing what they know
is a bad check. When they come
back, they always: 'About that
check, it's good now'!"
A restaurant owner estimated
that about "12 to 15 bad checks"
are taken in every week. It ; is
the larger number of bouncing
cnecKs mat nave led some mer
chants to charge $1.50 to $2 for
every check returned.
How do most of the hard-hit
merchants feel about the "bad
check" bill?
"I think it would be an asset to
merchants and students alike,"
stated Joe Augustine, clothing store
manager.
"I hope that bill passes!" said
Mrs. Harry Macklin of Harry's.
William Long, Dean of Men,
commented that he has found that
it is the irresponsible students whoj
are tne repeating oiienders m
cashing checks without sufficient
funds. He urged the merchants
to work through the student check
commission in these cases.
"The University does not enter
the picture except in cases where
it is felt that the student is being
elusive," he stated.
To alleviate the situation, Long
urges each student to have "a per
sonal account in a local bank.'
He stated that next year the stu
dent handbook will carry such rec
ommendations.
"A student should realize how
important it is to establish credit
and take particular pains with his
financial
matters," said

Long.

Although merchants stated that
they were hesitant to take such
"drastic moves as swearing out a
warrant," nevertheless such war
rants are served.
Paul A. Robertson, justice of
the peace, was reluctant to state
how many bad check cases he
handles a month, commenting that
there were "too many."
He stated that under the present
system, the students "got off with
a pill" (prayer for judgment sus
pended upon payment) and that
there should be a more bitter "ton
ic" to cure these offenders "such
as 30 days on the roads."
He blames "parental delinqu
ency, not juvenile delinquency" for
the number of cases.

Graham Memorial in cooperation
with the .department of Political
Science will present a trio of Latin
American films Nov. 28, Dec. 5
and Dec. 12,
These films, which were chosen
by Martin Merson of the Political
Science Department and members
of his Latin American Studies
classes, are regular feature length
films which point up various as
pects of life in neighboring coun
tries to the South.
"Because of the world situation
and the increased desire on t$e
part of the students to learn about
Latin America," Merson express-!
ed a desire for showing of this type.
GM, in compliance, has scheduled
"A Trilogy on Latin American
Life".
The first part of the trilogy will
be "Dark River", an expose of
conditions on Yerba mate planta
tions in Argentina. This movie has
been compared to "Bitter Rice"
in subject and treatment. The film
was opposed by police censors in
Argentina but they were unable to
stop its release and its director,
Hugo Del Carril, was named best
director of the year by the press
and the critics.

Women's Council
Gives Case To WRC
The Women's Council, last week,
dismissed a case against a defend
ant charged with violation of the
Campus Code and referred her to
the House Council for returning to
her dormitory after closing hours.
The defendant, who pleaded guil
ty as charged, had gone to Wash
ington for the weekend and had
signed out for midnight, Sunday.
She said that she had been held up
by traffic on her return to Chapel
Hill and had called in to notify
her dormitory that she would be
late.
She arrived at her dorm at 1:05,
one hour and five minutes late.
According to the rules of the Wom
en's Residence Council, if a girl
returns to her residence more than
one hour late, she is to be tried by
the Women's Council rather than
the House Council, which hears
cases involving less than one hour.
However, the WRC has another
rule applying to the House Council
which says that a girl has ten
cumulative "late minutes" before
she can be tried for coming in
afier closing hours.
- Therefore, the Women's Council
said that they would subtract the
girl's ten "late minutes" from her
charge of returning one hour and

Harrell Wins
New Tiff Develops
Jack Harrell, SP candidate for
President of the Freshman Class,
won the re-election which his par
ty had demanded. But he may
be disqualified when the Elections
Board meets again this afternoon
to determine whether an illegal
candidate's name appeared on the
ballot.
The re-election was held by the
Elections Board after the board
upheld a Student Party charge that
Sandy O'Quinn's name was on
the ballot when he was not a legal
candidate.
Harrell won the re-election by
forty-two votes after having lost
the first election, but he did not
turn in an expense account before
the absolute deadline set by Elec-
five minutes late, thus civing her
fifty-five "late minutes" and re-j
turning the jurisdiction for the
case to the House Council.

Proposals Still
Not Completely
Counted Out
NEW DELHI (LTD India said
Monday parts of the Chinese Com
munist truce proposal were "un
acceptable." However, the pro
posals were not rejected outright,
apparently because India did not
wish to disturb the six-day-old
cease-fire.
The statement read by a govern
ment spokesman was the first of
ficial reaction to the Chinese offer
although India said earlier it was
asking Peking for clarification of
several points. The spokesman
said the offer still was under
study.
The government statement said
the Communist proposals that each
side withdraw from parts of the
disputed border line wouM give
the Chinese 2,000 square miles ac
quired by force in the Ladakh area
of Kashmir since Sept. 8. The
spokesman denied the Chinese ac
tually controlled the area of La
dakh where they captured 43 In
dian outposts.
In the North East Frontier Agen
cy (NEFA), he said, the Chinese
would continue to control vital high
ground between the McMahon line
and the captured monastery town
of Towang. The Indians insist that
Towang is 16 miles south of the
McMahon line.
More Favorable
The spokesman began the state
ment by saying there was "a no
tion" that the Chinese communica
tion of Nov. 21 implied a Chinese
proposal "more favorable" to In
dia than the terms proposed earlier
by India.
"If so." he said, "China should
accept the Indian position." The
spokesman said the Communist
proposal would call for Indian with-
Idrawal from strongpoints border
I ing Utter Pradash state in the cen
tral section of the border and that
they would have to give up To
wang permanently. Asked the
purpose of the statement, the
spokesman said: "I am giving you
facts. You can draw your own in
ferences." May Reject It
The inference drawn by obser
vers was that India eventually
would reject the Communist pro
posal but not as long as the cease
fire is giving India a chance to
build up its shattered border de
fenses. Twelve American C-130 trans
ports shuttled war supplies to the
front Monday, taking off at 15
minute intervals from New Delhi's
Palam Airfield. All returned by
nightfall.
