...HCUA be abolished, and 2) be replaced by the HUC and the HPC?" Unfortunately, they only provided space for one answer, YES or NO. Assuming HCUA members are intelligent enough to realize this inconsistency, they clearly chose to renege on a previous promise to allow the students to express a meaningful consensus on the future of student government at Harvard.

Amexco, which got airborne in May, now permits cardholders to pay for flights over a period of twelve months, charges them...
...card corporations have lately begun to deal in many other businesses. Last week Cities Service began offering travel accident policies to its card holders, as a dozen other card companies already do, and the Southern Railway hopped on the American Express card. Besides charging their travel, tippling, and trencherman's tabs, card holders now can sign for such merchandise as wigs, garden supplies, model railroads and pets...
