WXt s'' J , r News Editor: Billy Vosburg Checks no longer cashed By Billy Vosburg Assistant Editor The cashiers office, at Dixie College, has decided to no longer y cash any checks. This decision came following many of these checks being returned, according to Carlene Holm, in the cashiers office. This poses a serious problem for those students who depend on the cashiers office to cash checks from parents or jobs, whose checking account is drawn off a bank that does not have a branch nearby. two-part- I think its stupid, said Beth Mary Stender, a Dixie College student. Stender is not alone. Many students feel it is a huge inconve- nience. There are banks around the St. George area that will cash checks drawn on accounts from other banks. The only catch is you have to have an account at that bank, with enough money in that account to cover the check if it wer e to bounce. Smiths Food and Drug, however, said they would cash payroll checks from companys witbin the state of Utah. They also cant be signed in ink. Their only catch to that is they take one dollar for every hundred that the check is written for, according to a customer service representative at Smiths. The cashiers office will still cash checks, up to $50, for the student if the check is made out to cash, on the conditions that their balance is zero, and they havent had bad checks with us in the past, said Holm. A lot of students have accounts in different states, or cities, without banks down here, and those students need the money to pay for school, or even just to live. If the cashiers office wont cash those checks, how are we going to get the money, said Sandy Verschoor, student who had to drop out of school due to lack of money. I can understand why theyre doing it, but students need money to live, Verschoor added. , , Women's Association needs Sun News Services The Womens Association is asking for volunteers to help with all aspects of this years Valentines Day Cookie Sale.
