The following resolution concerning the suspension of the
contingent deposit regulation was adopted:

WHEREAS, the establishment of the S.A.T.C. Unit at the

known as the contingent deposit and heretofore required of
each student to cover the cost of breakage and damage to
property and library fines, with the option to subscribe
from said deposit to the Chapel, Magazine, Law Review, and
the Virginia Union, is no longer essential for the recovery
of damage to property or to protect the library against loss,
