...went the slow route simply because it could not afford the broadcast tieline charge. An A. T. & T. link-up for ten hours of weekly programming costs roughly $450,000 a month, or about three-quarters of NET's total monthly budget.

...more money on new dormitories because students today demand off-campus housing. This is merely a thinly cloaked desire to drive away many low income families from the Cambridge area since cartels of Harvard and Radcliffe students are willing to pay exorbitant rents that no working family man can afford. On the contrary, Radcliffe should continue its dormitory building program, and should require that students live on campus...
