At this meeting we were in formed that there would be ap prf).imiately 35 additional non-re stricted telephones that will be placed throughout the dormnitories oier which the student can call off the cumt;mns. This is an improve inent, over the present situation and it is deeply appreciated by council. However, the practical system which council proposed last spring is not foreseen in the futu re. The administration has made it obvious to council that we will not be able to have the ideal telephone situation such as we had last year under the old system in which we could plare unrestricted calls any where in the Columbia area and could also receive calls from off the campus. When this council took office last April the telephone system change was well on the way to be coming a fact. The exchanges for the new ayRtem had already been ordered. Council, realizing that the admnin ist ration had already con tracted for the boards, accepted the fact that the new system w'ould be put into effect in the fall. We foresaw the difficulties that would be incurred in the new sys tem, and during May, after num erous council meetings and several conferences with Dr. Patterson, w'e presented a plan which we felt w4ould have the merits of the old system included in the dial phone.1 Our plan was to have no pay phones in the dormitories but to have all non-restricted phones ont the campus, which would give the lU caller an outside line if he dialed a a code number. People who were call- IE ing from off the campus would te (Continued on page 6) Post O ff ice Boxes Will Be Reassigned i Starting Monday .3 All postoffice boxes will be Sa reassignedl beginning Monday, Vv university Postmaster Joe Law- ar rence announced this week.

He aid many of the non-restricted erminals will be allocated to the xpanded building program but 15 .to 40 of them will be for nstallation in the dormitories. Dr. Patterson said the admini tration is also considering a sys em of using switch keys on >hones in some of the larger Jormitories which would allow -estricted phones to serve as ex ensions of the non-restricted ones. At present the university has 120 non-restricted phones on the .ampus, all assigned to admini strative and faculty officials. rhere are 100 interior lines, ac rording to Dr. Patterson.
