The council proposal was to recommend to the administration that an increase be made in the university fee to cover the cost of free phones for the entire campus. The phones would be so wired that calls could be made on the campus and into the city but long distance calls would be im possible. According to council that would entail an increase of approximately one dollar in the university fee, which covers the various student services, including the infirmary and the post office. According to the plan now under consideration by the administra tion all phones would be dial pay phones which would mean a ten cents charge for each call made off campus. There would only be a few phones which would not re quire a fee. Other business conducted by the council included the appointment of a committee to revise the stu dent body constitution. Named to the committee were Isadore Lourie, president of the student body, Son Kinon, vice president, and Terrell Glenn. The council decided to elect one faculty member next year. Two Suspended by Honor Board Two students have been sus pended for a period of one week for an honor violation on a chemistry quiz. Two others were cleared of the same charges. A.E.D.
