Install New Phone System

By MIKE MOORE
Kernel Staff Writer
Renovation of the University's
antiquated phone system will begin next fall and be completed
in 1970 with the installation of
new automated equipment, Paul
Nestor, director of UK business
services, announced today.
The new system, called "Cen-trex,- "
will have its equipment
installed in the new Biological
Sciences Building to be constructed near Rose Street in 1969.
Mr. Nestor said that the
switch to the new system would
be the "only economically and
functionally feasible solution to
the University's telephone prob-

lems."

of phone lines available for dormi
tory and academic use to provide for expansion of the present
system to facilitate the University's needs until the new system
is put into effect.
"Whatever we do in the way
of expansion is not going to provide adequate automatic service
until the new system is installed," Mr. Nestor said.
"Meantime, we'll have to cripple along with the old system,
which won't be satisfactory. It
is not economically feasible to
renovate the present system,"
Mr. Nestor continued, "since this
would simply leave us with a
more expensive antiquated sys-

Saturday.
"No one wants to keep this
program, including both the dean
of women and the dean of men,
and it will probably be abolished before the end of this
semester," Mr. Nestor added.
"Last year some academic offices had to use dormitory lines
which cut off at 11 p.m., making
it impossible for them to be
reached," Mr. Nestor said.

The revision will be on the
ballot in the Nov ember elections.

Mr. Nestor said the equipment currently in use is incapable of being automized, which
is an essential in an effective
phone network, and in addition
the equipment will have to be
removed from the Funkhauser
Building. The academic plan
calls for removal of the building.
Steps which Mr. Nestor outlined for improving the present
situation will be in the direction
of making the complete changeover in 1970.
"The first thing that will probably occur is the removal of
time restrictions on calls going
into the dormitories," Mr. Nestor
said. Dorm lines currently close

Youth Fare Could Stop
Kernel Feature Editor
The new youth-far- e
plan that
has recently been launched by
nine major airlines in the U.S.
has become a question of who's
taking whom for a ride . . . the
youths or the airlines.
The plan, which was started
three months ago as a brain
child of American Airlines' President Marion Sadler, has sold
some 300,000 I. D. cards to youths
at $3 a piece.
The card allows them to fly
anywhere in the U.S. at half

the normal fare, but on a standby basis.
However, since the set-u- p just
is for stand-bys- ,
the youths have
devised several ways of getting
around
problems of getting
grounded indefinitely at an airport.
common method (or trick)
is to make a false advance reservation. At flight time, the youth
finds himself on board (and often
enjoying the comforts of flying
first class) in the "phony" seat.

"An increase of about 800
telephones on campus next fall
and spring will also increase the
effectiveness of the current system," Mr. Nestor said. These
will be part of the groundwork
necessary for the system change.
When asked about the use of
long distance credit calls through
a General Telephone exchange,
Mr. Nestor said that it was "the
simplest and easiest method of
billing long distance calls, and
we will probably go to it shortly."
