Bad-check write
The check policy at the University of Kansas is simple. You do not have to go through the usual ritual of showing two pieces of identification. If you are in a restaurant, don't cover it. Your enrollment will be canceled.
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Renorter
Bad checks are a problem at KU especially during enrollment, said Roger Liebst, general accounting supervisor for the comptroller's office. At the end of enrollment last semester, the comptroller's office had almost $60,000 in bad checks, he said.
"People will write a check knowing full well that they don't have the money to cover it." Liebst said. "Often they will do it to hold their enrollment."
A BAD CHECK is treated as a late enrollment and carries an extra $10 charge. This year University officials have added an extra charge for writing bad checks.

From that day on, he devoted his life to that love — the sun.
"All these stories about me are false. I just love the sun. That's the only reason why I spend my time, my life, sumbathing," he said. HIS REAL NAME is John Schneider. 420 Rhode Island St., and he says he has been sumbathing in front of Wescoe Fork for almost
10 years. He was born 40 years ago in Wichita where his mother, three brothers and one sister still live.
Watts estimated that $3 billion worth of improvements were in the contract. He said the agreement would raise the current average hourly wage of $12.33 to $14.33 over the years.
He says he never was a soldier. He likes religion, but he is not a monk. And, he says, "I don't want to go to war."
