Students Pay Buck For Rubber Checks Starting September 1, 1957 when a department of the college re ceives a check returned unpaid by the bank from which it is drawn, the person presenting it will be required to pay a penalty of $1. Notices to students on returned checks will be sent via the dorm counselor or tactical officer, who will retain a copy of the note, and will have authority to bring dis ciplinary action through the Of fice of Student Affairs or Com mandant’s Office when deemed necessary. Such action could pos sibly result in the student being dismissed from A&M if the case warrants.
