The Frying: Pan

Phone Need In Men Ts Dorms
Is Problem To Be Remedied
An attempt to do something alxrut the lack of
telephones in the men's residence lialls will finally

pet under way net week with the appointing of a
'committee by the Student Government Association.
Although something definitely must lx done about
the problem, the correct solution is not readily
seen.
Only four telephones are available for the ap-- .
proximately 550 !xys living in the dorms, and these
are pay phones. Students desiring to use a phone
at a busy time, such as at night, must wait in line for
"several minutes, and then nwist have nickels for
the slot. If a Ixiy is trying to call a girl living in
one of the women's dormitories, he has to put a
.nickel in the telephone to get the University operator. If his line is busy, as is true in most cases, he
loses his nickel. He lias to get out of line, get another nickel, and wait again. Before he finally gets
; liis girl, a lxy may have to spend an hour waiting
"and a quarter for the phone.
; W hen a loy living in the dorms is called, the call
comes through a desk clerk in Bowman Hall. The
clerk takes down the numlxr and goes chasing all
jover the dorms to find the student. The lxiy has
to call his nunilier back over the pay phone, which
presents the same two problems of waiting and
: money. If a call is urgent, that's just too bad.
The desk closes at 11 p.m., thus making it im-- :
possible to call anyone in the halls after that time,
; except through the director s office.
Two of the
pay phones are also made unavailable at this time.
d
Although Scott Street Barracks was not
by SGA as lieing included in their investigation, we feel it is as much a problem there as in
the dorms. The barracks, which houses alxnit 340
students, has only one pay phone for use. How

George Lawson, president of SGA, said he doubted the University would do anything about the
phone shortage at the barracks, since the buildings
are only temporary structures. But since it seems
the barracks are lieing used more than just temporarily, additional phones should lx? placed there
too.
Dr. Bennett II. Wall, director of the men's dorm,
phones are put into
pointed out that if
the dorms, the students' rent will have to lx? increased. This would be unfair to the majority of
students, he said, lx'cause only alxnit a third of
the Ixiys in the dorms receive many phone calls.
He suggested the best possibility would be to run
two or three trunk lines into a switcliboard in the
dorms. Since the buildings are already wired,
phones can be placed throughout the halls connected to the switchlxiard.

SGA Lacks Support

Of Student Body
In a letter to the editor last week, it was suggested that SGA lie disbanded and the system of
.class officers lx? reinstalled. We do not feel this is
the correct solution to a stronger student government.
Although it is admitted that SGA has been unable to accomplish everything desired by the students, this form of student government stands a
lx"tter chance of succeeding than the class officers
system. SGA represents the entire student Ixxly.
Class officers would represent only one class.
each class elected its own officers and
Until
delegates to a student council, which was the student governing Ixxly. This system did not prove
very effective, and the present form of student government was organized.
the main reason why SGA is not as
We
strong as it can Ik is lxcause the majority of students have an adverse opinion towards the organization and docs not support it. Each student enrolled at UK automatically Iiecomes a memlxr of
SGA. The Assembly we lcomes students to attend
its meetings and give their opinions, but students
seldom do so.
Memlxrs of SGA would like to make several
changes on the campus just as much as students,
because they too are students. But they are often
unable to buck th" Administration and the local
officials. This is the time that the whole student
lxxly's support is needed. Students should back
SGA in their undertakings and voice their opinions
in the Kernel and through SGA.
If the University has a weak form of student government, it is entirely not the fault of the Student
Government Association, it is the students.
