Chase, r. announced yesterday. The new ervice is being installed with money ken from the sinking fund of the Stu ent Activity fund for the current se nester. 'T'hree new telephones are being laced on the first, second, and third loors of the Student Union Building. litherto one telephone in the lobby has iad to serve all the occupants of the auilding. An additional phone has been placed n the Woman's Building where one ias been in service. Single telephones re being installed in Tenements 4, 8, 20, and 24 1-2.

In the future those vishiing to call the campus may do so >y dialing either 8123 or 3173. Dean Chase. in announcing the in tallation of the new service indicated hat the University would endeavor to mprove the service still further during he coming months. The new service comes after many tudents had complained' that it was tlnost inpossible to get outside lines, nd after townsfolk had stated that hey were unable to reach the Univer ;ity during rush hours. On the recent Gamecock poll 90 per :ent of the students filling out the sheet listributed stated that they had trouble with telephone connections. At the Student Union Building stu lent assistants were placed to answer r}he g!k phn. and to call the resi dents of the building to the lobby.
