Hatfielders Diet to Regain Booth Title
HATFIELD, England — (UPI) — Hatfield Technical College students went on a diet today to try to regain their world "telephone box squash" record from South Africa.
Students in California and Canada meanwhile entered the competition to see how many of them could squeeze into a telephone booth.
Also in training was a group from the London School of Economics and Cambridge University.
It was a Cambridge team which set claim two weeks ago to a world "squash" record of 15 men to a regulation British post office telephone box.
A few days later Hatfield weighed in with a claim that 19 students there had wedged themselves into the 50 cubic feet of space.
record was questioned today—British squash experts said the South African boxes are slightly higher than the British.
They claimed also that nobody in the box was able to answer the phone when the bell rang.

James L. Peterson, Lawrence graduate student — "Today it is necessary to get better jobs."
One important question faces every college student. Should I work toward a master's degree?
in our parents' generation a high school education would suffice, but later a trend toward a college education developed.
Gary Burgess, Pomona senior — "If you want to do anything original, it's a necessity. A bachelor's degree allows you to be only a technician."
The response was as follows:
Mary Holland, Smithton, Mo. junior — "A master's is not too important in what I'm in, but it's important for men. A B.A. is now about what a high school degree was."
Curtis Stanley Hunter, Alton, Ill., sophomore — "I'm a zoology major, and from what I hear you've just about got to have a master's degree. You can get a bachelor's and make a living, but to advance you have to have a master's."
22 students of St. Mary's College had packed into a telephone box there yesterday.
John Walker, Overland Park senior — "I'm in the school of education and the master's means about $1,000 a year more when teaching. Second to that, you do have a lot
No University of Kansas claim to the world phone booth squash title has been entered. However, a group of students were seen figuring the cubic capacity of the booths in the Kansas Union basement this morning.
"We have received news of these achievements," a Hatfield spokesman said. "We intend to set a new mark soon which will be hard to beat. We may even ask for the rules to be altered so that somebody must be able to answer the phone if it rings."
Nearly all students polled believed the master's degree a necessity in most fields.

Now the problem arises: Is the master's degree worth the extra time and effort involved?
Barbara Lesher. Wichita sophomore — "I seriously doubt I will go ahead and get it, but I wish I could. I don't think I will be qualified to teach high school students with a B.A. I really don't feel I would know more than they would."
Spencer Dickson. Topeka junior-"For me, I am in math, the necessity for a master's degree is becoming more important. Opportunities are certainly a lot greater. I'm planning on graduate school."
