Music will be furnished by Woody Wood ard and his orchestra. A drop-in for the members and their dates will be held at Bob Barkoot's home prior to the dance. The 1954-55 officers of Lambda Chi Alpha are Leon Flowers, president; Al Wells, vice-president; Ralph Covington, secretary; Don Mrs. Dugan Switchboar< By Soni The university switchboard was installed in the administration building on September 15, 1953. It had previously been in Maxcy, before the dial system made its appearance. Before this change was madIe, all phones were non restrictedl. Although the dial sys tem has brought in restricted phones, it has cut down the amount of work for the operator and has made for better, quicker, and more efficient service. Mrs. Dugan, the chief operator, celebrated her twenty-sixth year with the university on February 19. Very sympathetic and helpful, Mrs. Dugan's aim is to give us the best service possible at all times. H14dling telegrams, special deliv ery letters, information, long distance, andl the regular switch (#board, she has quite a job, al 'Wthough she manages to stay cheer ful and is alert to our every need at all times. The switchboard re mains open twventy-four hours a day and an operator is always on hand for emergency calls, no matter what the hour. The only holidays for the switchboard is from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thanks giving, Christmas, New Year's, and the 4th of July. Mrs. Dugan has one problem whicif we students could solve with a very slight effort on our p)art. Many students move from one dlormitory to another without registering their change of address at the record or information of fices. It would be a help to the studenits and would cut down wastedl time andl effort on the oper ator's part if the studlent would register his change of adldress prop)erly. Long distance calls can not reach the student if he fails to (d0 this, and1 the op)erator must put a notice in his P. 0. box, or, in case of emergencies, call him out of class. If tho student isn't in class and doesn't go to classes, there is no way to reach him. In one case, a newv student changed his address without registering it, failed to go to class or to his P. 0. box and he wvas unable to be reanche.l foran emne.nency long Chi A Aelebrates Tonight Floyd, treasurer; Elden Dye, rush chairman; Bruce Barksdale, social chairman; Jug Sawyer, pledge master; and Rembert Truesdale, ritualist.

It would be greatly appreciated if students would remember to dial 345 for campus information. Also, the Blue Key carries a directory which lists every phone on campus. Mrs. Dugan, throughout her twenty-six years here, has come to love the university and the people with whom she works. She wishes to coop)erate with them 100 per cent and finds the student body, on the wvhole, very pleasant with wvhich to work. Twenty-six years ago, Mrs. Dugan recalls that there were only five phones on the whole campus, two of them being acces sible to students. These phones were in the president's office, registrar's office, treasurer's of fice, the Y, and the canteen, the latter two being for studlent use. In those days a student could re ceive a call through the Y, only. (Students today should consider themselves very fortunate indeed.) The old switchboard had five out side lines, and the number (the university's first number) was 8123. When the system expanded andl the trunk numbers changed, Mrs. Dugan felt as if she had "lost a member of the family." Mrs. Dugan may recall many interesting experiences connected with the university telephone sys tem. In one incident, "way back when," a group of football players dropped into the canteen to use the pay phone and found that the money-box had been torn off the bottom of the phone. When money was dlroppedl in the coin slots, it simply dropped back out again through the bottomless telephone. A plan immediately wvent into ac tion. The boys called the movie actress Clara Bow, then the rage in Hollywood, andI talked over $24 worth, paying for the call by drop ping the same quarter in a multi tude of times. Having completed their romantic call to the "girl of their dreams," the boys then left the phone booth, the original quarter in one boy's pocket. ipha Formal WAGON WHEEL (Containued from page 4) CROSLAND with M.
