No Records

Because of the technical setup of the
University phone system no records of who had
received the large number of calls were
available. Mr. Hurdle said that the noncollectable
bills amounted to "thousands of dollars."

Under a new arrangement announced to
students over the summer, those living in the
suites may decide among themselves whether
they want to have a telephone. If the members
of a suite elect to take the responsibility of
having a phone, they must contract directly
with the phone company.
