The facade, famous for its Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Before the fire, workers had been carefully taking the facade apart for cataloging and storage.

About 4:30 p.m. yesterday Molina Community Colleges Seek Veteran Tuition Security Compulsion Turns To Dog Tags "Veterans have problems paying their fees on time be-caus it takes weeks for the Veterans Administration to send them their check after they've registered," said Carlos Rainwater, assistant director of the VA regional office in St. Petersburg. BUT KASTNER said that because of this rule, veterans attend classes until they know if they are going to pass, and then drop out without paying their fees if they are failing. "We have veterans who register without paying, and when it comes time to pay, they disappear," Kastner said.

"He will receive no credit for taking the class, but he's taken a spot someone else might have had." The colleges are being burdened with paying for his spot at a time when we're having to turn people away because of limited enrollment," Kastner said. KASTNER SAID approximately eight per cent of the veterans attending college skip out on fees through this plan. Kastner said he isn't opposed to helping the veterans avoid the red tape of the VA, so long as it doesn't cost the colleges anything. By ROSEMARY FRAWLEY Tribune Staff Writer A law that allows veterans to defer tuition payments for 60 days has cost the state's community colleges and universities $2 million in the last two years, officials say, and now these institutions are asking the legislature for relief. "We are asking the legislature for a $600,000 trust fund to help the colleges recover from the shock of continued losses of veterans deferred payments," said Dr.

Harold Kastner, assistant director of the Division of Community Colleges. IN A BILL sponsored by Sen. Kenneth MacKay, D-Ocala, the colleges are asking for establishment of the trust fund, a requirement that veterans show cause why they cannot pay their fees on time and the mandatory signing of a personal note by the veteran, guaranteeing payment of the fees. Kastner said the problem arose two years ago when the legislature passed a law allowing veterans an automatic deferment of their fees. pi I By JANICE MARTIN Tribune Staff Writer Karen Rose is a compulsive collector.

She says so herself, tracing the compulsion to childhood, when she snatched up every loose key she could get her hands on. At this point, however, she has forsaken all her other collections decks of playing cards, miniature cakes of soap, bottle openers and wooden nickels among them for the pursuit of dog registration tags. AND IF YOU think her hobby is an unusual one, you aren't alone. "I get snickers and sneers and sometimes outright suspicion from people when they find out what I'm after," Miss Rose saids "I suppose a lot of people have never heard of a dog tag collector. "But people collect all sorts of things.

I know about a guy who collects the brand labels off bunches of bananas." Just since July of last year, when Miss Rose got hooked on dog tags by a 1929 Michigan license she found at a Holiday flea market, she has amassed almost a thousand assorted tags from the U.S. and abroad.

The county is preparing a similar request this year, again with Town 'N Country as a possible site.

Milt Zimbler, president of the Town 'N Country Civic Association, said county officials, as before, were trying to list Town Country without notifying anv of the residents. "I el they're trying to do this in se crecy," Zimbler said, "And it's the secrecy that were upset about."
