Bad check
By Forrest brown
Careless university students may
find themselves in trouble with their
parents and the law if they write
bad checks.
Penalties can be rough for all bad
check writers, even for those who
may have made a deposit just a couple
of days late.
People who write bad checks for
less than $200 face a $200 fine and
30 days in jail for each check. For
checks worth $200 or more,
i - _ _ it __ i _ i.
penalties couia go as nign as one
year in jail for each bad check.

"Most people, once they get
down here, realize how serious it is
then," he said. "When the jail door
slams behind them, that's serious."
Johnson said the problem for
most university students is that
their parents don't make deposits in
time. Students then write checks
that they think will be covered, but
are not.
People arrested for writing bad
checks constituted more than half
of the people arrested in Richland
County last year, excluding traffic
violators. In 1982, 11,000 people
were arrested in the county, and
6,000 of those arrests were for bad
checks.

keeping up with checking account
balances is the main culprit.
Bad checks as high as $10,000
and as low as $1.50 have come to
the sheriff's office, he said.
USC is just one of the institutions
ihat receive bad checks. During this
past school year, the school received
about $1.5 million in bad checks.
USC Treasurer Howard Rhodes
said the university recovered about
80 percent of the money. USC had

MOST OF the bad checks are a

students who try to rip us off."

"You should make sure you have

WHILE WRITING bad checks
may be a problem, Gene Long,
manager of Cornell Arms, said
USC students don't proportionally
write more bad checks than any
other segment of the population.
Long said the number of bad
checks in the store varies each
month, but it tends to increase at
the end of semesters.
About 95 percent of the money
lost on bad checks is recovered,

Long said. There is a returned
check fee of $10.
Long said if the store is given a
bad check, it tries to deposit it a second
time. If it doesn't clear then,
the store will write a letter to the
person who wrote the check and ask
for the money. If the person docs
not reply in 15 days, a warrant is
signed out for that person.
