Student locator
curtails service
People dialing 845-4741 may
still hear the familiar “Student
Locator -— may I help you?” but
they can no longer get all of the
services once offered by the De
partment of Student Affairs.
To speed up its service, Cen
trex, the office now in charge of all
Texas A&M University telephone
services, will give out only the
phone numbers of students, facul
ty and staff. However, phone
numbers can now be obtained 24
hours a day, seven days a week
instead of the former hours of
Monday through Friday, 8 a. m. to
10 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to
noon.
Information about students’
addresses, hometowns, ages and
majors can be obtained by going to
the housing office in the YMCA
building.
Centrex, funded by the Uni
versity’s Physical Plant, has
offered a telephone number refer
ral service in conjunction with the
Student Affairs student locator
service since 1968, said Geneva
Brewer, administrative assistant
and Centrex supervisor.
However, because Texas A&M
had two operations offering the
same basic service, they were con
solidated, said Ron Sasse, associ
ate director of student affairs.
To further expedite the service,
anew phone system funded by the
Physical Plant was installed when
Centrex took over at the start of
the new fiscal year Sept. 1, Sasse
said.
The Physical Plant now hires
students and other workers to op
erate the Centrex switchboards 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
Student locators, once hired by
the Department of Student
Affairs, simply were not rehired,
Sasse said. The money funding the
old service was directed to diffe
rent Student Affairs’ projects
when the new fiscal budget was
set up, he said.
