Cable problem for some dorms
Task force to study contracts
By SANDRA K. GARY
Battalion Reporter
A task force to study inconsis
tencies in the present television
cable contract procedures used on
campus has been set up by the
Department of Student Affairs.
Procedures for signing up for
cable service, ways of collecting
the service fees and the cost of
cable service for the different
areas of campus vary, said-Associ
ate Director of Student Affairs
Ron Sasse.
The task force will look at all the
cable contract procedures and de
termine what, if any, changes
should be made and whether they
should be consistent for the whole
campus, Sasse added.
Consisting of the four area coor
dinators, student representatives
from the various dorms and sever
al members of the Residence Hall
Association, the task force will
make recommendations and re
port their findings to the student
affairs department before the
semester ends, Sasse said.
“This way any new procedures
can be implemented during the
spring semester,” he added.
The need for a task force came
to light when McFadden Hall’s
dorm council tried to save the
dorm’s residents time and money
in getting their cables hooked up.
Instead of having the cable
company come out to the dorm
and set up a booth where the resi
dents could sign up for cable ser
vice individually, McFadden’s
dorm council did the job them
selves.
“We took up money for the
cable along with activity fees the
first week of school, ” Wilson said.
“This way we got the service a
little cheaper and were hoping to
get it sooner.”
About 100 of McFadden s 240
residents paid for the service,
which costs $7 for a television or
stereo hook-up or $12 for both
hook-ups, Wilson added.
Melinda Hindes, former vice-
president of McFadden, took the
$834 the dorm council collected to
Community Cablevision on Tues
day, Sept. 8. She was told McFad
den would have their cable service
by the end of that week, Wilson
said.
Hindes called the company on
Sept. 12 to add more names to the
list and to find out what was caus
ing the delay. Community Cable-
vision told Hindes the service
would be hooked up by the begin
ning of the week of Sept. 13.
As of Sept. 21, the residents of
McFadden still had no television
or stereo hook-ups and the dorm
council had given their money to
the Community Cablevision with
out signing a contract of any kind,
Wilson said.
“It reflected badly on the dorm
council because we took the girls’
money, and they weren’t getting
what we promised them,” she
said.
On Sept. 22, Brenda Bivona,
McFadden’s RHA representative, I
told the RHA executive council/
about the problems McFadden
was having with the cable com-*
pany. i
Following that meeting, Moni-J
ca Christen, north area coordina-,
tor, contacted the Community;
Cablevision manager. She said:H
“The problem was due basically tOM
36,000 Aggies returning to school,
and all of them wanting to have I
their cables hooked up the first;
week.”
By Oct. 22, all McFadden resi-l
dents had their cables hooked up,;
Wilson said.
