'There art; no options for in

looking at expanding the age
category to keep children
through their third year.
As for the child care pro
grams in general, a parent
showed concern about the
amount of time the children
spent with their toys and if
there was a way the children
could Ixi more actively engaged
in learning.
"Children learn by playing,"
Blanchard said. “Learning so
cial skills is one of the primary
goals of the program."

"Whon 1 worked tin.' cord board phonos, some
times threw people would answer the phones at
the same time,'' said Nelson, just before speaking
into her headset the throe words that campus op
erators know lies! "University of Oregon."
An amazing feat considering that on the Mon
day of New Student Week, the campus operators
handled a record amount of 1,4*17 calls, answer
ing each lull I In 20 seconds on the average, Grover
said.
"When you can't remember something, you ask
Dianne," said the other full-time operator, Lois
McDonald, who has been working in Operator
Services sintu? 1972
McDonald said she also has answered some un
usual (utils
"One person asked how long to cook a potato,
and another asked who posed for the Pioneer
Mother,” McDonald said
Those are some of the more humorous calls,
she said Hut she also said she receives a lot of
calls during her early morning shift from parents
trying to locate their kids.
"You have to remember that the campus opera
tors are (lie University as far as people are con
cerned, and you have to he helpful," McDonald
said
When tails come in from worried parents, the
campus operator serves as a sounding froard and
a link to the University, McDonald said.
Three student operators share the fourth full
time position, which opened in March of this
year.
Jenny LeBlanc, a senior psychology major,
works nine hours a week as a campus operator.
"This job really works out well for me because
I can get a lot of studying done between calls
when we an; not tin) busy,” she said
When asked what callers could do to make
their jobs easier, the operators answered unani
mously, "Look the number up."
The University provides a directory in each
student room, and the directories are also avail
able at each area desk. Grover said
"Have patience, know what you want before
you call, and have a paper and pencil in hand Ire
fore you call." McDonald said.
"And make sure the pencil works,” she added
with a smile.
