New Dial Phone Faster, Students Say
After the first week of registration and classes student opinions of the new dial telephone system ranged from praises for the system because of the fast service to criticism of the amount of numbers to dial.
O. H. Smith, manager of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company of Lawrence, said direct distance dialing will begin in December. He said only a limited number of towns may be dialed when the system goes into effect, but the system will be nation-wide in a few years. Only straight line and two-party line users will be able to use the new system, he said.
The nine students asked how the
system compared with the
prime number.
Mary Ann Scramlin, education junior: "I think the dial phones are much better than the old system.
You don't have to wait for the operator and the service is much fast-
**Dick Walt, journalist junior:** "I has both good and bad features. I like the way the phones continue to ring when they are not answered immediately, but I don't like having to dial a series of numbers to get a line in a house with several phones."
Too Many Numbers
Jane Hill, fine arts senior: "I think it's a lot better not having to wait for the operator to answer. You also don't have to call several times when the phone only rings once and isn't answered.
Diane Warner, college junior. "I like the new system, it definitely fits."
Bob Froblich, engineering sophomore: "I like the dial phones a lot better than the old system.
There's no waiting for the operator and it isn't so old fashioned.
New System Better
George Hitt, engineering junior:
"I think the new system is better than the old one. The operator used to be rushed, and now you don't have to wait for her."
Joanne Kollmann, college senior;
"The numbers are too long. The new
system seems to be about fifty-fifty
with the old one. I like the new
system because you don't have to
bother the operators late at night."
Kent Porter, college sophomore: "I think the new system is all right. The service is faster, but there are more numbers to dial."
Dick West, engineering sophomore: "I think the dial phones are better than last year's system. It seems to be faster and there aren't so many problems in getting a call through to the dorms."
