              Check Cashing
Bonnert, l SBC Compromise Over Extension Controversy

Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) President Allan Lubel has received a compromise on the ensuing check cashing controversy of an hour ex* tention. The proposed extension would be until 5 p.m. on Friday and change to 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
The new hours win go into effect on Friday
According to Lubel, the Bookstore will fund the additional hour on Friday, and the hour change on Saturday will require no additional funding
This move came after the USBG Senate last Monday passed legislation, formalizing the students' commitment to the issue
Originally, the students' request was to have the check cashing window open until 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Business Manager Oliver Bonnert turned this down because of a “lack of funds."
USBG and Bonnert wanted to send this request to the University Management Committee for approval, but the Administration felt that a compromise could be reached, Lubel said.
“1 think this particular issue is an excellent exam-
ple of how a compromise between the Administration and students can be reached, “ Lubel said
"We didn't react violently but worked with them intelligently,” he said, “and w’e got what we wanted "
“This is also a good example of how valuable student government is in effecting change and increasing student services on campus. For once the students have a concrete change that has made their stay here better, and student government is responsible for it."
According to l ubel. the compromise was proposed by Bonnert because Bookstore Manager George Mitchell felt that very few students utilized the check-cashing service from 8 to 10 a m on Saturday.
“Not many students will get up at 7:30 a m. on Saturday just to cash a check," Lubel said.
The bookstore will be handling all publicity throughout the first week that the program goes into effect
"1 want to urge every student to make use of this new service because, if it is utilized to its fullest, when we go to the Administration with subsequent requests, they will know that we have the entire student body behind us,” Lubel said.
