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.

distance call. Later, when found,
he proved to be unaware of having
a P. 0. box. His box wvas over
flowing wvith mail.
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.
