Telecenter s\ is recruitinc By Fran Marxsen Gamecock staff Wrltar The new Telecenter, 10 long-distance telephone lines located in the LaFaye House on College Street, is being used by the Student Alumni Association, SAA, and the Office of Admissions to contact incoming freshmen and USC alumni. The SAA began operating the Telecenter this past Wednesday night with a workshop session to instruct members on use of the facilities, according to Mike Nunn, graduate advisor.

WEDNESDAY AND Thursday nights the SAA members will use the center to contact USC alumni. "We call alumni all over the country who are not, for some reason or another, members of the Alumni Association/' Nunn said. SAA members are responsible for seeing that the 10 phones are manned each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. High school seniors who have already been accepted to USC are also contacted by those using the Telecenter. "We call freshmen all over the state to ask them if they have any questions or problems that we can heJn them with." Nunn uifi SAA momKnf t\aM? u~?~?1 ?,J "?A a , M.M.

The SAA members solicit Alumni Association membership from the alumni they call. The people manning the phones do not have a standard pitch, Nunn said. "We encourage them to be themselves/' he said. "It's hard for the alumni to turn down a student." Nunn said that they get about 25 "yes" responses from the alumni, about 15 percent of all the calls they make.

The yearly dues for the association are $10 for single members and $15 for married couples. Association members receive the association publication, Carolina Alumni Quarterly, and they have full use of Thomas Cooper library and limited use of the Sol Blatt Physical Education Center. National life insurance and low-cost tours are offered to members of the association, and they may use the Alumni House, formerly the University House, for parties. The Alumni Association works closely with class reunions. Since the university took over the Alumni Association's operating and salary expenses this year, all of the $10 and $15 memberships go into the Alumni Scholarship Fund.
