Black student leaders say the
^ national holiday to celebrate the
birth of the Rev. Martin I uther
King lr. is long overdue.
SCiA President Kelvin Stroble
said people have fought long and
hard since King died to have this
holiday honored. "I'm glad to
see it tinalls happened," he said.
Stroble thinks King deserves to
be honored in the same way as
presidents like Lincoln and
Washington "Washington was
our tiisi piesident, Lincoln kept
^ the Union together," he said,
"hut in the words of the editor of
The Stale newspaper, it was King
who showed us the country's
greatest problem."
Stroble thinks himself a legacy
of King's dream, and says he is
\er\ grateful to him. "We are
now m the time where we stop
dreaming the dteam and start living
the dream."
(irace Jordan Meladden, a

the national holiday honors not
onl\ King, but also many other
people, "\oung men and women.

"A new day is being realized in
out nation through the national
holida\," Mcladden said.
" I hanks to King, we can truly
dedicate ourselves to the principles
on which this nation was
^ founded: life, liberty and the pursuit
dI happiness lor all, and that
all are created equal," she said.

the USC chapter of the NAAC'P,

In the statewide NAAC l\
(iadsden says the holiday is
lone overdue. kin^ "was a great
icailet who made his dream a
reality. It we don't continue his
^ dream then we allowed him to die
in vain," he said.
(iudsden say he hopes next
yeai to celebrate without having
to j.'o to classes. "It's a national
holiday, and we should have the
day oil."
C iiiclscicn thinks King's courage
and committment to nonviolence
are two factors in his
lasting influence. " I he man was
threatened, bombed, and stabb
ed," (iadsden said. "He was loved
by some and hated by others,
P and he knew he would be killed
tor lus dream, yet went on."

New phone

By BUDDY MOORE
Stall writer
Mote than 600 student phone numbers
were changed this semestet because ol new
Mjnwitie in liic piu>nc system's computer
program.
I lie change is one ol I he t*r t> w inu pains
of a new system, hut h will allow the
reinstallment ?.>t leatuies Mich as call hold
and call waiting, beginning today, according
it) USC's director ol associate
technologies.
"When the new phone system w.is implemented,
the only software available
from A 1 & 1 could handle just y.uOO phone
numbers." said Chailes I'oole. who
oversees the phone system's department ol
communications.
"In ordei to grt everyone in. we had to
squeeze student and adm mist i at ion
numbers togctlici mio L'toups," he said.
"Once the new soltw.ue came in. we
were able to separate the student and administration
numbers and place them in
separate blocks, which made the whole
system more manageable .mil more
efficient
A group, or block, consists oi loo consecutive
numbers. With the new software,
numbers starting with 0. which were
previously not available, were opened for
use. Most of the new student numbers
therefore begin with 0. I'oolc said.
1 lie numbers chanced had no
geographical significance, Poole said,
noting they came ftom \arums places on
campus.
I he majoi reason foi dividing student
and administration numbers into separate
blocks is long distance calling. I'oolc said.
" I he student pays for Ins long-distance
calls; the state pays for those of the ail?r-.?.

"( iimers won't divide student and .i?l

consist of one or the other to in.ike the
system more efficient." he said
However, the mixture ol both rvpes ol
numbers hadn't yet become a problem.
I'oole said, because once students made
long-distance calls, they were tecogni/ed
on the SI AN system as separate Itotn ad
ministration long-distance calls
Most students receiving new numbers
were called before the end ol last semestei
and notified of the change, and letters wete
sent to all of them at the beginning ol this
semester.
Now phonebooks will not be punted. ;u
