Policy Examined THE WEATHER... Allegheny's trustees and administrators are close to finalizing V the details of a plan to eliminate the current system of personal charge accounts in the college bookstore. Effective July 1, 1986, all transactions at the bookstore will be limited to sale by cash, personal checks, and Visa or Mastercard. The College is presently negotiating with two banks to offer credit worthy students major charge cards.
This proposal comes after roughly two years of study by the business office into the collection of student accounts receivable. Results of the study reveal two patterns which brought about the proposal for changes. First, students tend to pay their bookstore bills late or occassionally not at all. Second, many students come to Allegheny with no experience in handling charge privileges. As a result, students often act irresponsibly in charging items which they can not afford and are unable to pay for. The current one 45-to percent interest penalty for late payments and the prohibition of rollege Press Service students with outstanding bills to register for classes have not deterred students from abusing charge privileges.
