Finance Center Expects v • _ I Rise In Check, Processing _ CtMck caahing ia Mg basin«u at the Student Finance Center of Ttxaa AAM'a Memorial Student Center The Center haa p roc eased a record 1*1,704 checka totaling tl^0S,4*7 during the pact fiscal year, aurpaaaing the old mark of 11,546471 in cheeks the preriouc year. "We expect an even larger in* crease next year because of a larger enrollment," pointed out Cashier Faye Yes tea. "And we are preparing for the rush.” Mrs. Yea tea expects the number of cheeks to grow despite s ruling requiring all persona to provide checks from their individual banks. , “This is a comply wth a Fed eral Reserve bank regulation," noted Mrs. Ysates. “These checks have magnetic ink coding which facilitates processing. Federal Reserve banks reported an 83 per cent increase in the volume of checks last year.” ALTHOUGH the new require ment does not officially go into effect until Thursday, the Memo- rial Student Center tested it throughout August “Some students srgued a little with cashiers at fint,” Mrs. Ycates explained, “but the plan is working fine now. We always obtain* the dormitory and room number of students ia addition to their identification card.” Student checks have a $10 mnimum and a $20 maximum. The Student Finance Center also handles the processing of registration checks for most con ferences conducted at the MSC. Employees sort out checks in reference to local and out of town banks, then according to amounts. As the name implies, the Stu dent Finance Center serves as headquarters for treasurers of student organisationa More than 400 accounts are kept in the fa cility. Each organisation has a box reserved for the safekeeping of records. “WE ANTICIPATE about 50 new accounts this fall,” Mrs. Ycates observed. “Space for the students to work is our largest _ problem. To make sure their books are correct at all times, we check their balances for them each time they conduct business.” Some of the treasurers have no experience in bookkeeping, but they receive the necessary assist ance from Student Finance per sonnel. In many instances, advisers of clubs and organisations must give written approval before bills can be paid. And the treasurers make monthly financial statements to their organixations. • A list of all student organize tions ia prepared by October 16 for distribution to all campus de partments and Bryan-College Sta tion marchafits The list includes names of officers and advisors of each group An additional service provided by the Student Finance Center is the mailing of checks when the organizations pay Mils.

Dresaer, a 1962 graduate who is now at Keesler AFB, Miss., commanded a C-123 Provider flight that was hit by enemy fire $0 time*. The three Air Force planes the major commanded were armed only with a nontoxic weed killer. They were on a defoliation mis sion over the Mekong Delta. While spraying the trouble some area near VI Thanh, south of Can Tho, Major Dresaer and the sipnll. all-volunteer group of air commandos went in “low and slow” to allow their loaui* of de foliant to settle into the trees.
