A Touch of Irony
After the hard fight last
3($ar to get the pay telephones
\eyioved from campus living
organizations, the loss of free
yjhones in the Vets' dorms lie
cause of abuse of long distance
rt'Jes is ironic. Especially so,
si^ice the dorms had the long
est and hardest fight.
We’d wager that the fresh
men men would show a little
more concern for the free
^iVone privilege if they had
^ȣC4i here last year.
University regulations for
bid the making of long dis
tance calls from c a in p u s
.jjkones, because of the difficul
ty. in charging the particular
son making a call on a tete
4jJppne listed for an organiza
tion like Stitzer hall or Eng
department.
1 This regulation is violated
Sequently .in dormitories, as
witness the bills of $115 run
\y*-hetween Jan. 1 and March
one \rets’ dorm hall, and
another bill of $200 charged to
another hall since last Septem
$>ut in Carson hall, for ex
a^iqde, although the regula
is violated, the particular
-,^ul making the call is virtual
always charged individual
for-her call. The girls are
\d^eaititied according to floor
apd hometown called,
i, Ifkit this is evidently not the
ca,se in the Vets’, and the Uni
versity has been stuck with
'tVd bill. The men have not
^J-d for their calls, so all the
yj£n will have to share the
- if the callers don’t pay up.
I. As. with most restrictions for
l| violations, all are restricted
J^cause of the violations of
so#ie.
The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company installed
pay phones in living organiza
tions the summer before last,
and it was only after a tough
struggle by students. Emerald
and ASUO senate, well-aided
by the University administra
tion, that the phones were tak
en out.
They were removed from
fraternities, sororities, and co
ops during the year, and, as
per administration assurance,
from dormitories last summer.
And it was no easy task.
Here’s one isolated ex
ample. part of an Emerald ed
itorial of Jan. IS, 1952:
‘‘Demand an opinion from
the University administration
“Send a delegation to talk
to the governor of Oregon.
“Sign a petition protesting
the phones to the Oregon
Public Utilities commission.
“Write to your parents ask
ing for a raise in allowance,
due to the phones and the new
rate. Explain the unfair situ-'!
ation to them, and maybe
they, in turn, will explain it
to others.
“One phone call a day for
just the remainder of this
month will cost you $1.10. It’s
time to do something ... or
go broke."
And the free phones were
finally put in.
Of course, the freshmen in
the Vet’s dorms will have to
pay for their own abuses (al- ^
though all might have to pay
for the abuses of some). But
the freshmen .could do better
than look a gift horse in the
mouth.
