Alternatives exist
for check cashing
STUDENTS WISHING to cash personal,
payroll and two-party checks
may have a hard time doing so as the
semester closes.
The treasurer's cashier office in
Petigru, one of the more popular places
for check cashing, has stopped doing so
until next semester.
THE DEADLINE f or cash ng outof-state
checks was Nov. 28 and the
deadline for cashing in-state checks was
Dec. 5, said Myrtle Gerald of the
treasurer's office.
The treasurer's office requires a student
to show a fee receipt and validated
student ID to cash checks. Until the
student gets an up-to-date receipt and
ID validation, his checks will not be
honored.

it Alaska, Nebraska and Washington,
D.C. are among those threatened.

a A 1982 study predicted a dwindling
n number of 18-year-olds. The resulting
money trouble would force as many as
200 colleges ? most of them private
r schools ? to shut their doors by 1990.
But this fall's budget problems in
I many farm and energy states arc
leading some state legislators to propose
closing or merging "marginal"
campuses.
No! all of the troubled schools,
however, arc accepting the proposals
without r? fiolit
- &-"A
rccent plan by the Dallas Citizens
Council to merge four traditionally
black private schools to create one
"fiscally responsible college" with wide
community support, for example, was I
rejected by the colleges.
\ ! While increasing numbers of state
I colleges are under the financial gun, i
M private schools arc also facing similar ,
Vl problems.
m In August, the Catholic Church^
supported University of Albuquerque
-fl ! fell under a mounting budget deficit
i and declining enrollment.
\ ' A# Ihn comrt timrt A I Fniunrciftr
of Ohio and the American Bar Associa|
tion dropped funding of the Antioch
Law School.

A Winnsboro man's full-page advertisement
in a local newspaper knocking
Mack Trucks' move to the city has
brought a host of city, county and state j
officials to the corporation's
defense.
But Ray Cline, who paid $300 to run ^
the ad in The Herald-Independent on *
Thanksgiving, is convinced that if his
neighbors take a closer look at the truck
manufacturer, they'll see ? as the ad's
headline says ? "There's A Lot Of
Bull in Those Bulldogs."
Skills top computer training
An office computer user's reading
ability, reasoning skills and personal
enthusiasm arc more valued by most
small business employers than previous
technical training, concluded two Stanford
University professors from their }
nationwide survey of 2,813 small
businesses.
