collegiate institution do have
ua. In all likelihood provisions
will be made for a telephone booth
hi each at the twelve new hallo
aooe to be constructed here. Meat
of the project booses already bare
phones. In view of these facte and
of the undeniably great naad of
both dormitory and day students on
the campus for more and better
phone service, it can scarcely be
disputed that a telephone booth
should be installed as’aoon at pos-
eible in each of the dormitories
now in use.
The writer of the original open
letter concerning this matter re
ceived shortly after Ha publication
a cordial letter from M. C. Atkins,
district manager of the Southwest
Telephoim Company whose offices
are in Hr yap and which now serves
the college with four pay phones

would be only too glad to m*ul!
