Traffic, Library Fines Catch Up With Students
The time has come for the traffic office and the library circulation department to take on the role of bill collectors. And the student with fines just can't win.
The traffic office is mailing both old and new fines now in their only billing period of the semester. Three days before finals, names of students who have not paid their fines go to the registrar's office and their transcripts are held until they pay.
All payments are due on the last day of school. Students may have their transcripts put back in the good standing files by paying sometime before the next enrollment period. If they do not pay they are not permitted to enroll next semester.
If a student has reason to protest a traffic fine he must pay the fine and then present his case at the next session of student court to get his money back.
Although traffic fines are usually for larger amounts, the library sends out more fines than any other department. If those pennies a day aren't paid for overdue books then the student is billed for the book itself.
Three weeks before final examinations begin students receive bills for the total amount due in fines. If the student doesn't bring in the book and pay the fine he gets a bill for the cost of the book plus a replacement fee.
Three days before finals names of students who still owe bills or fines are sent to the registrar's office. Fines may be paid at the circulation desk any time except during enrollment and on commencement day. If students owe for the book itself they must pay at the business office.
It gets complicated when students find the book they've been billed for, said John M. Nugent, library circulation manager. First they must pay the bill at the business office then return the book to the library after enrollment. The library will then cancel the bill and assess a fine. After the fine is paid the student gets a refund slip which he must take to the business office to be repaid.
Mr. Nugent said the library is "not a bookstore" and they are interested only in getting the books back. All book fine money goes to the business office and not to a library treasury.
Students who wait until their names are on the hold list will have to go through red tape before they can pay and be cleared for enrollment. If they wait until the last minute to get cleared with the registrar it may postpone their day of enrollment or cause them to pay a late enrollment fee."
If students try to skip the fine by transferring to another school, KU won't give them their transcripts and they'd have a hard time getting in another school, H.I. Swartz, business office accountant said.
Exam Dates Set For Summer
Students who haven't taken the Western Civilization or English Proficiency exams will have a chance to take them during the summer session. The English proficiency test will be given June 21 and the Western Civilization exam, July 26.
The Western Civilization exam will cover the same subjects as the tests given during the school year.
James Schellenberg, assistant instructor of Western Civilization, said almost 600 students were registered for the test to be given Saturday.
Mr. Schellenberg said registration for the summer test would probably begin about the last of June.
David Dykstra, English instructor,
said registration for the proficiency
exam would open approximately a
week before the test.
Even The Best Make Mistakes
LOGANSPORT, Ind. — (UP) A judge accomplished what 132 top Indiana teen-age drivers failed to do—eliminate a Purdue University student from a national driving conest. Leo Yoder, 18, won the Indiana "Road-e-o" here Saturday—later was arrested for improper passing. The justice then ruled him ineligible for national competition.
Few Taking Polio Shots
Only 700 polio inoculations have been made since the start of the semester. The Salk vaccine cannot do its job when the possible victims do not go to the trouble to take the shots, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, pointed out.
Dr. Canuteson said health officials are now recommending four shots instead of the three previously suggested. He added that those getting their shots right away can get the second dosage before the main polio season begins in the summer.
The second shot is to be given 3-4 weeks after the first, the third 7-12 months after the second and the fourth is still optional.
Dr. Canuteson said the three shots are thought to give up to 90 per cent protection against "paralytic polio."
Folio shots to students are paid for by the student's health fee. Members of the student's family can get the inoculations for only $1 per shot. Faculty members and employees of the University can get them for $1.50 per shot.
They Gotta Have Water, Too SAN FRANCISCO — (UP) — Six states involved in a 6-year-old battle over Colorado River water rights advanced a host of specific claims, but the U. S. government could teach them a thing or two about being specific.
Federal attorneys testified Saturday that their claims include water for 785 skunks, 463 cyotes, 57 cougars, 261 bobcats and 112 gila monsters.
Birds prefer to face into a high wind during a storm while all animals, except the buffalo, turn tail.
The feet of a hummingbird are so under-developed that this small creature can't walk. October is the biggest worldwide holiday month, with 42 holidays being celebrated. Seventeen grasshoppers per square yard can eat one ton of alfalfa per day.
