Students who have complaints about phone service can now contact
student representatives who will provide information and assistance.
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.
Local jogger seeks
help to find dog
B'NAl B'RITH HILLEL FOUNDATION
A jogger who was bitten by a do-
berman pinscher last Tuesday would
like to know if the dog has been vac
cinated against rabies.
“It was the first time I’ve ever
been bitten,” the jogger said, “and I
didn’t think to look for tags.”
Therunner, who was nipped on
the leg about 5:30 p.m. near Texas
A&M University’s golf course, does
not plan to sue, but would like to
know if rabies shots are necessary.

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.
