Coin box service will be removed and flat-rate business serv ice phones installed in fraternities, sororities and co-ops at the : University of Oregon and Willamette University. And Ore gon State College houses will be allowed to retain their present flat-rate phones. i Fred Scholl, Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company gen eral commercial manager for Oregon, revealed this new move to ASUO telephone committee chairman Dick Kading and Em erald representatives here Wednesday night. "Temporary' Move j sa‘^ l^at move was only a “temporary" solution to the pay phone problem. "We are conducting investigations to try and find a solution that will be equitable both to the phone company and to the students, he said. “The company is granting this return to flat-rate service during the period in which they make their in vestigation. Completion of the research should take at least 60-90 days," he said, adding that he felt the business phones would be left in at least until the end of the present school year. Will Confer Today Scholl, who was accompanied by W. G. Keith, PT£T Gen eral commercial engineer for Oregon, and Louis Eade, Eugene ABC's of Getting Back Flat-rate Telephones lit re’s how fraternities, sororities and co-ops are to go about get ting flat-rate business phones reinstalled: • All houses who employ the Bresee-Warner system to handle their house accounts should contact that organization immediately and have it applx for the flat-rate service. 0 Houses not served by Bresee-Wamer will be contacted by telephone. Louis Eade, Eugene manager of the PTAT. requested that, in order to speed up the installation of the phones these houses do not call the phone company. 0 It costs: If a pay phone is merely replaced with a business phone, there will be no charge. If a new line in addition to the present pay phone lines is installed for a flat-rate phone, there will be a $7 installation charge ($3 for each additional extension). PT&T manager, said that he would talk to administrative officials of Oregon and OSC today. He emphasized that the PT&T does not feel that restoring business service is fair to the company. And restoring flat-rate service on this temporary basis is contingent upon two con ditions : No Complaint • That no formal complaint is filed with the Public Utilities commission regarding pay telephone service by any of the schools affected. • That the administration does not now press for temporary restoration of flat-rate service in University-owned dormi tories. "We don't propose to make any change there,” said ScboH, when asked about removing pay phones on the same basis from the University-owned dormitories. Change Over Soon The PT&T officials said they would start working on the changeover immediately and promised to let the EmeraldT know today how long they thought it would take. “If a formal complaint is filed, this whole thing is out,’* Scholl emphasized. He explained that the company would not then jeopardize its case by allowing flat-rate phones to be in stalled even temporarily here and at Willamette. Kading had mailed a formal complaint to the PUC earlier Wednesday afternoon, but said he would now revoke it. DSC has a formal complaint in the hands of its lawyer, which has not yet been filed. Scholl emphasized that the phone company is not revising its interpretation of the phone tariff, which the PT&T main tains calls for pay phones in. all campus living groups on tha grounds that they are "semi-public.”
