Bogus Checks By Students

BOGUS CHECKS BY STUDENTS

Given to the University and Checks Not Honored. STRANGE WAY TO START

Treasurer Soule Liable to Make Considerable Trouble For Some One Yet.

That some students should come to Michigan and start their University course by passing bogus checks is a wonder but a fact nevertheless. Tuesday Treasurer Soule said that his entire time was now occupied in summoning students who had given him bogus checks. In many cases it has turned out that they never had any money in the bank on which the check was drawn. Others gave checks which have been through several banks and not honored, but returned for the University to make good. This offense has occurred more or less each year, but probably never to the extent it has the present year. It would seem that a great deal of trouble might be caused for the students thus conducting themselves and truly there might be were the authorities so disposed. An example may be made of someone in the near future, if that is the only way that suggests itself to do away with the crime. The necessary trouble and inconvenience that is caused the treasury department by bad checks is very great and something will be done to stop it presently. Now the students are called in and told that if they cannot furnish the money at once they will have to leave the institution.
