Student government’s external affairs committee has chosen two representatives to act as channels for students’ complaints and sugges tions. Cheryl Swanzy, vice president for external affairs, said the commit tee has chosen one representative for the GTE phone company, and one representative for other student consumer interests. “We plan to provide students an avenue of communication on the local level that will successfully deal with their problems,” Swanzy said. “We are aiming toward building an effective working relationship with the businessmen that will enhance our ability to obtain action on student’s problems.” Swanzy said each representative will take complaints on the phone, away in tli(j and direct students to the person in their area of concern. Debbie Pigg is the GTE representative and will be concerned with checking the company’s progress in dealing with phone problems on campus, and receiving and directing complaints to GTE. “There are enough people with complaints to justify a system like this,” Swanzy said. The new representative system should take the hassle out of getting phone service restored, she said. David Collins, representative for student consumer interests, said bis job will be concerned with utilities, banking services and the Better Business Bureau. Collins said the student consumer interests representative will provide information about these services and general business activi ties in the community. The representative will also take complaints from students concerning area businesses and seek action through the BBB. “I have talked with the executive director of the Better Business Bureau and he is really excited about the services,” Collins said. Files containing detailed information on the internal structure and operation of these services and businesses will be kept by the repre sentatives. Collins said frequently students call a company to file a complaint, and, unless they happen to know someone who works there, they do not know with whom they are dealing. This system should make things easier and faster. “The one-on-one relationship with these companies should provide faster service, with less hassle for both the student and the company, plus the student government may have a little more pull, ” Collins said.

MUSIC BOX WORLD is at Happy Cottage (Across from Luby’s) UNIVERSITY CENTER SCHEDULING NOTICE its By ROY BRAGG Battalion Staff The Bryan City Council adopted a ^solution Monday night transfer- jng the titles for two city fire trucks to Brazos County. K City Manager Ernest Clark said the vehicles would be used by the Bounty in the formation of a volun teer fire department. ■ The volunteer department, Clark said, would allow the city to concen trate on fires inside the city limits. In pe past, the city has responded to file calls in rural areas for a set fee. K The two vehicles, Clark added, iare targeted for replacement in the Biture. The titles would be given to Bie county for $ 1 each. | A few councilor en, however, ob jected to the title transfer. Councilman Joe Hanover echoed Smith’s objections. “Why get rid of a truck before it’s been replaced?” he asked. Clark told Hanover that, in the past, the city has used fire trucks from College Station and the Fire man’s Training School at Texas A&M University if the need warranted. The ordinance passed by a vote of 6-1, with only Hanover voting against. ■ t O r'.Tr-Y VfHI tion hash ed spend ed against: rmy. cans unemi increase si government recession bout it.
