Bank Of America Introduces Secured Credit Card In Oregon Bank of America today intro duced a secured credit card for con sumers with little or no credit history', such as young people and those re cently divorced or widowed. The new BankAmericard Se cured Card is available through the bank's 84 branches in Oregon. The card is secured -- or backed — by a BofA savings account in an amount equal to the credit line, w hich can range from $500 to $5,000. The principal balance can't be w ithdrawn while the customer has the card. If a card member fails to repay the debt, the bank collects from the savings account. “The new BankAmericard Se cured Card enables us to meet the credit needs of our customers who may not otherwise qualify for our credit card,'' said Jim Barri, BofA Oregon vicechainnanofRetail Bank ing. “Once customers build a good credit history or re-establish credit after economic hardship, we hope to graduate them to our classic card.” According to Barri, the card is competitively priced and enables the bank to strengthen customer rela tionships. The rate on the new secured card, currently set at 18.15%, is a variable rate, which is adjusted quar B A N K IN G ON terly and is based on the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal pluk 10.9%. The annual fee of $18 is waived if the customer has a BofA checking account. Accounts have a 25-day grace period on purchases before interest is charged. To apply for the secured card, custom ers must be at least 18 years old, have a U.S. address, never have filed for bankruptcy, and all credit accounts must be current. A fter 18 m onths o f con tinuously m aking paym ents on time, custom ers will be eligible for a B ankA m ericard w ithout the required savings deposit.

Rose Bowl To Delay Classes In Eugene Winter-term classes at the Uni versity ofOregon w ill begin Wednes day, Jan. 4, one day later than origi nally scheduled, due to concents over the safety of students returning from the Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, Calif. The football contest between the UO Ducks and Penn State Nittany Lions takes place on Monday, Jan. 2. Winter-term classes had been sched uled to begin the next day. UO President Dave Frohnmayer got the approval to delay the start from Joe Cox, chancellor of the Or egon State System of Higher Educa tion. “We estimate that one-third of our student body, perhaps 6,000 stu dents, may attend the Rose Bowl and that many of them may be driving hom e after the g am e,” said Frohnmayer. “To help ensure their safe return, we thought it appropriate to delay the start of winter classes by one day.” S p ir it O f P o r tla n d Ta L aun ch H a lid a y C r u is e s The Spirit of Portland dinner ship has quickly become a Portland favorite.
