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 ^»£C4i 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. more pencils—no more books—no more teachers’ cross-eyed Oesa&t Dctitif EMERALD Tbe Oregon Daily Emerald published Monday through Friday during the college year except Jan. 5; Feb. 23; Mar. 2, 3, 5, 9, 10 and 11; Mar. 13 through 30; June 1, 2 and 3 by the Student Publications Board of the University of Oregon.^ Entered as second class matter i aIT ■ < rr»n» ntpirnn Ss ii i * if i in SLt nr>r cph.^nl v*»ir • 17 nur farm ■ml (He post office, Eugene, Oiegon.
