Probably not, but just to save face with other Universities, most of which are in bad shape financially, Harvard has initiated a somewhat serious effort to cut back. Two years ago, a guy named Stephen S. J. Hall, former vice president for administration, had 115 brainstorms on how to save money. That was the winter Hall decided to turn off all the heat in the Houses over Christmas vacation,, producing extensive flooding due to cracked water pipes, costing a whole...
Today, when Puzo gets the urge to press his fortune, he heads for the gaming tables of Las Vegas. He is no longer a "degenerate gambler," his description of a guy who would rather gamble than do anything else. The compulsion was lost years ago when the casinos cut off his credit and demanded cash. Even the desperate excitement of changing one's life with a bank-breaking night is now denied him. It is one of life's happier problems: "having more than enough, he has too much to lose. Gambling is simply a $20,000-a-year relaxation...

Even Mozart runs take off so spontaneously that Stoltzman might almost be improvising...
Only those students who have funds available to them from a source such as the University will be assowed to use the computer, Guy Ciannavei, manager of the Harvard Computing Center, said yesterday. All users of the computer, including students, will have to pay a priority-scaled price. Those services of the highest priority will be performed the fastest and will cost the most. Students wishing to use the computer will pay the same rates as any other user. Students will only be able to use the computer if the University has "sanctioned" that use, Ciannavei said...
