UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OBJECT
Demand an Accounting of Monies
Paid Into Guarantee
Fund.

VERMILION, s. D., Dec. s.-(Special.)-
Students of the university are UP in arms
In regard to the action of the authorities
in collecting a guarantee fund Of 50 from
each one at the beginning Of the year
without asking any accounting therefor.
They have gone so far as to appoint a
committee to wait upon President Gault
and request him to secure the necessary
information for them. II they do not re-
ceive a satisfactory answer in regard to
the disposition of this fund they promise
to carry the matter to higher authority.
The trouble arises over a guarantee fee,
which is required OF each student for
breakage and the like. The understanding
at the beginning of last year was that
at the close of the year the breakage would
be summed UP and proportional to each
student, except in cases where individual
responsibility could be fixed. This the stu
dents did not object to last year, and many
even went so far as to assign what bal
ance would be theirs to the athletic or
debating boards. The students allege that
no moneys have ever been turned over
to athletics or debating societies from
this fund, although there should be sew
eral hundred dollars in the hands of the
secretary of the university. According to
their estimate S1,1OO was paid in by the
students last year as a guarantee fund
At the close of the year., when the losses
were fguered up, it was announced that
each student was liable for $50, or halt
of the amount of his guarantee. A few re
ceived their balance when school closed II
June, but the majority did not receive
cent.
