Harvard Trust will have a tougher credit policy than did the Coop, but no tougher than the Coop planned for itself this fall. Because of the high cost of money the Coop was planning to tighten credit and tack a 1.5 per cent interest charge on overdue bills...
...HARVARD-HOLY CROSS: Looks like fun, even if your date does cost you five dollars. Everyone's got an eye on the Crimson, and one problem is that Harvard has everything to lose and nothing to gain since it ranks first in New England.

The initial Camelot project was to be a three-to-four year undertaking with a total cost of about five million dollars, and in the early stages there was optimistic banter in some Washington circles about the possibility that the project would eventually mushroom into a $50 million extravganza extending into the distant future...
