New Students Mean Overtime For 'Ma Bell'
About 1,600 new telephones will be installed when the University of Kansas students return this fall, according to Ron Lester, president of Southwestern Bell Telephone Co.
How to install those phones fast enough to make them as a problem that makes Bottle glorified.
"We work our tails off when the students come back," he said. "We have people who don't want to do it."
To meet the demand, new installers are brought in from other cities, he said.
"The normal number of installers is 14, but through the rush period we hire an additional four or five. They work long hours, because we only have facilities for a certain number of people, and we have to take up the slack in long hours."
Bothwell said it was too costly to provide more facilities for an additional number of installers. He said this was because the additional installers were used only for a short period and the cost of the equipment was phenomenal.
The installation charge for a typical private line is $8. The monthly charge for this line is $6. But Bothwell said other types of phones were capturing the market.
Touch tones cost $1.75 more than regular phones each month. Extension lines for either model are $1 monthly. Bothwell said extension lines are less expensive now than they were two years ago. In 1972 they were $1.25.
The most popular model recently was the "touch tone" model he said. Touch tone phones also are referred to as pushbutton phones.
Trimline phones (with the pushbuttons in the handle) are also popular. Installation of trimline and touchone phones is $5 more than a regular line.
Bothwell said the telephone company had not encountered many problems with students.
"We have normal problems," he said. "I wouldn't single out students as atrociously bad. I'd be reluctant to say we have a problem. The majority of KU students are damn good people. But then, we have that other normal percentage."
Schemes to place free long distance calls are not limited to students, he said. One scheme, involving the use of phony credit cards or charge calls, was tried by a few students.
"We have a few students that pose a big problem. But the number is really small," I say.

The lakes are Lone Star Lake, Perry Lake and Douglas County State Lake. Another lake in the area was plotted by 1976. By that date, Lawrence will have nearly 32 square miles of lake within the county.
For those who enjoy water sports, several areas are within a short distance of Lawen.
All of the lakes are man-made, Lone Star Lake was made primarily to provide work for one of the Civilian Conservation Corps camps during the depression. Its construction provided many jobless men with work.
Lone Star, which has 156 acres, is 15 miles southwest of Lawrence. It offers fishing and pinching year round. Swimming, pleasure boating and camping are allowed from Memorial Day until Labor Day, Bob Steele, caretaker, said.
Pleasure boating and water skiing are allowed on certain days only, and camping is allowed by permit and in designated camp sites.
Largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie and bluegill have been stocked in the lake. Paddlebobs, sailboats and motor boats may be rented for a fee of $2 to $2.50 an hour at the concession building, Steele said.
Perry Lake, which has 12,200 acres and is 18 miles northwest of Lawrence, also offers fishing, boating, pinchickening and camping. It also offers a great bass pass Forestry, Fish and Game Commission
Swimming is allowed from June through August. Boating is allowed from April through June.
The lake is stocked with channel catfish, white bass, walleye, northern pike, bass, and trout.
There are 185 camp sites, which may be rented for $1.50 per night. Camping permits may be purchased from the Marine Enterprise, Inc. , Rt. 1. Perry.
Douglas County State Lake, which has 180 acres and is located 12 miles southeast of Lawrence, is more hidden than the others but is also a popular recreation spot.
Those who want to camp there may do so
for 3 days, free of charge, according to the commission.
It offers fishing, camping and picnicking. It has a concession building, open all year, where bait, tackle and food can be purchased and boats can be rented.
