Katz Not at Dinner, Gets Billed Anyway

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Tempers flared recently when the Boston University Faculty Club billed Stanley N. Katz '55 $66 for "Dinner, Tax, and Tip," supposedly incurred there.

Katz immediately contacted the Faculty Club and refused to pay. "I've never been to the Faculty Club," he protested. "I don't even know anyone at Boston University."

"Someone has to be responsible for it," the Club retorted. Katz agreed, but didn't see why it should be him. B.U. couldn't find any good reasons either, so Katz was told to "forget it for the time being."

Katz is not sure why the Faculty Club sent the bill to him. Someone may have forged his name on a dinner stub, or, B.U. simply thumbed the phone book.
