The president also said the Lex- ington Police Department had sug- gested the University as well as
downtown businesses close to al- low employees to get home be- fore the 5 o'clock rush.

charge of the telephone operations,

classes were dismissed
He said most of the calls were
from students either trying to call
in or out of the University. "We
also had several
calls
from parents and relatives who
were interested in students here."
Lilly explained that due to the
power failure Wednesday night the
batteries which give power for the
phones were in need of replace- ment.
-It will mean phone service will
be discontinued for a few minutes
during the exchange," he said, "but
the delay will be negligible."
"We would also request that students avoid placing unneccessary
calls and that they try to limit
calls to five minutes," he said.
"This will better enable us to
complete any emergency calls
which might come through."
