...them fatten Americans' wallets and purses, and the easy, pay-later access to goods and services that credit cards offer extends to such exotica as Nevada divorces, surgical work and, in some areas, bail money. Now the ever inventive credit card companies are poised for a new phase of expansion. Growing twice as fast as in recent years, the amount of purchases billed on cards so far in 1978 is up 40%.

There is another wrinkle in these climatological complications. For about two decades ending in the early 1970s, the earth was in what seemed to be a cooling phase. Some climatologists suggested that the chill marked the beginning of a "little ice age," like the one that persisted in Europe from about 1550 to 1850. If they are right, then the cooling forces-which could be attributable to anything from increased atmospheric dust to subtle changes in the amount of heat received from the sun-will be pitted against the warming force of the so-called greenhouse effect. For a while...

...second phase of the complex was to include the new hockey rink, renovations and an addition to Dillon Field House and conversion of Watson Rink into a basketball arena. Reardon said funding problems forced the Athletic Department to drop plans for the Dillon addition and the new hockey rink. The basketball team, hence, will continue to play on the worn courts of the Indoor Athletic Building (IAB); the hockey team, after this year's hiatus at B.U., will use the renovated-Watson Rink; and several sports teams will continue to feel the crunch in space available for locker room...
