Students Favor
Centrex System
By DIANE TOWNSEND
“What is your opinion about the proposed Centrex Tel
ephone System to be installed on campus!” Thirteen stu
dents recently answered this question in a Red and Black
poll. ,
Jo Collins, a senior, said,
“I’m definitely for it. The Uni
versity has grown so much
since the present phone sys
tem was installed that it is
now inadequate. There is a
real need for more lines.”
“Actually, I don’t think a
new system is necessary,” said
James Loewry, a junior. He
added, "It's an adventure ever-
y time I try to make a call
now. I get such a feeling of ac
complishment whenever I get
the person I’m trying to call.”
Anderson Byers, a sopho
more who operates the switch
board at Candler Hall, thinks
the Centrex system would be
“wonderful.”
“I think a new system is
really needed,” said Pat Heavn-
er, a sophomore. “I work at the
reception desk in my dorm and
I get all the complaints from
boys who can’t get their calls
through.”
Ed Brantley, a senior, com
plained. “The phone set-up Is
so bad on campus that it's im
possible to get through to a
girls’ dorm. I think that the
installation of the Centrex sys
tem would be one of the great
est things that could happen to
the University.”
“Nothing could be worse than
the present telephone system,”
Margaret Brown, a junior, an
swered. “The Centrex plan
would have to be better."
Penny Craig, a sophomore,
agreed that the Centrex system
is "an excellent idea.” She said.
“The present system is inade
quate. It’s just not large
enough to handle all the calls.”
“I don’t see anything wrong
with the present system,”
stated Claire Poster, a fresh
man. “I work at a reception
desk in Creswell Hall two hours
every night and I think the
system works fine. I think the
Centrex system is a good idea
for students who want it.”
"I’m all for it," Mike Ward,
a senior, commented.
Dottle Armstrong, a Junior,
also voiced her approval of the
proposed new telephone sys
tem.
Charles McCullough, a fresh
man, said, “I think the Centrex
plan Is a very good idea—par
ticularly since only those stu
dents who want telephones in
their rooms would have to pay
for them.”
"Something needs to be done
about the telephone system on
campus.” commented Cathy
Lawson, a sophomore. "The
Centrex plan seems to be about
the best idea."
George Delman, a senior,
stating his approval of the
Centrex idea, added, "I defin
itely think professors should
have private phones in their
offices. Under the present sys
tem. it is very hard to get in
touch with them.”

SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE
AND JAZZ LIKE THAT
I am now an elderly gentleman, full of years and aches, but
my thoughts keep ever turning to my undergraduate days. This
is called “arrested development.”
Rut I cannot stop the healing tide of nostalgia that washes
over me as I recall those golden campus days, those ivy-covered
buildings (actually, at my college, there was only ivy: no bricks),
those pulse-tingling lectures on John Dryden and Cotton
Mather, the many friends I made, the many deans I hit.
I know some of you aro already dreading the day when you
graduate and lose touch with all your merry classmates. It is
my pleasant task today to assure you that it need not be so;
all you have to do is join the Alumni Association and every year
you will receive a bright, newsy, chatty bulletin, chock-full of
tidings about your old buddies.
Oh, what a red-letter day it is at my house, the day the
Alumni Bulletin arrives! I cancel all my engagements, take the
phono off the hook, dismiss my resident osteopath, put the
cheetah outside, and settle down for an evening of pure pleasure
with the Bulletin and (need I add?) a good supply of Marllxiro
Cigarettes.
Whenever I am having fun, a Marlboro makes the fun even
more fun. That filter, that flavor, that yielding soft puck, that
firm Flip Top box, never fails to heighten my pleasure whether
I am playing Double Canfield or watching the radio or knitting
an afghari or enjoying any other diverting pursuit you might
name—except, of course, spear (idling. But then, how much
s|>eur fishing drx's one do in Clovis, New Mexico, where I live?
But I digress. let us return to my Alumni Bulletin ami the
fascinating news about my old friends und classmates. I quote
from the current issue:
“Well, fellow alums, it certainly has been a wing-dinger of a
year for us old grads! Hemenilx-r Mildred Cheddar and Harry
Cumcinlx*rt, those eraiy kids who always held bunds in Kcon II?
Well, they’re married now and living in Clovis, New Mexico,
where Harry rents spear-fishing equipment,and Mildred has just
given birth to a lovely 2K-|x>und daughter, her second in four
months. Nice going, Mildred and Harry!
"Remember Jethro Brie, the man wo voted most likely to
succeed? Well, old Jethro is still gathering laurels! Last week
he was voted ‘Motorman of the Year’ by his fellow workers in
the Duluth streetcar system. ‘I owe it all to my brakeman,’
said Jethro in a characteristically modest acceptance speech.
Same old Jethro!
“Probably the most glamorous time had by any of us old
alums was had by F rancis Macomlx.*r last year. He went on a
big game hunting safari all the way to Africa! We received many
interesting post cards from Francis until he was, alas, acci
dentally shot and killed by his wife and white hunter. Tough
luck, Francis!
“Wilametta ‘Deadeyc’ Macomlx:r, widow of the late beloved
Francis Macomlx:r, was married yesterday to Fred ‘Sureshot’
Sigafoos, white hunter, in a simple double-ring ceremony in
Nairobi. Many happy returns, Wilametta and Fred!
“Well, alums, that just about wraps it up for this year.
Buy bonds!”
