~[J)@@~~a ~Cr@ t]) --------------------------------------- AC C installs nevv telephone system Taken from the November 25, 1980, issue of ACC Campus Update. ' BY BILL GARANT STAFF WR111?R Did you see a lot of Gen- .eral Telephqne men around lately, see bare wires hanging ' from a campus wall, or fail to succeed in calling one of the of- fices on campus? If you did, that's kind of surprising, since the recent switch to a new phone system on the campus was l).andled so smoothly, almost no one knew it was happening. - "I feel that GTE handled the transition beautifully," said Mr. Joseph Genuise, Planning Director at ACC. "They liter- ally worked day and night and took every precaution they could during the recent switch. " their own phone system, as the one that was being used was de- signed to meet the needs of both. Genuise noted that there was no real fault with the old system, it was just too big. Since February, the K-12, ACC, and General Telephone have been working together to create a new system that would meet the needs of the college. They came up with "GTD 120," the name of the new system. Genuise noted that the new system is all computerized and that calls can be made and re- ceived much faster. The "GTD 120" offers many new features such as: waiting on another line. ■ an "emergency notice" so both parties on a line are alerted that an emergency call must get through. ■ a "night answering sys- tem" so any call at night when the s·witchboard is unattended can be answered by any phone on campus. There are many more ser- vices the "GTD 120" offers, but · these are just a few of the more unique ones. One other special service offered, is that there are four special power failure phones located on campus. These phones are located in the elevator of NRC, the head resident's room in the dorm, in Mr. Ilsey's of- fice in Besser Tech., and Mr. wishing phone service can pur- chase one from the phone company, at regular rates. Genuise noted that "GTD 120" will cost the college less to operate than the old system. The new system was installed by General Telephone who did an excellent job during the switch. During the short time that ser- vice to the college was interrupted, they notified the Al- pena Police, the Fire Department, and the hospital, and also had radio vans stationed at two locations on campus to · make any needed calls in the event of an emergency. Last November · it was voted to separate the college :(rom the K-12 school system. Because of this separation, both the college and the K-12 needed ■ a "three party confer- ence" where people can talk together on one line when at least. one of them is on campus. Presenting the GTD 120! As you can see from this current Foster's office in VLH. After the system was in- stalled, General Telephone offered two-hour training ses- sions for all those connected with the use of the phones, which helped things to go even more smoothly. ■ a "call park" so some- one talking on one line is alerted by a "beep" that . someone is photo, the phone system installed by GTE in 1980, is still in use. · The new system also re- Photo by Jennifer Weinkauf moved all extension phones from the dorm.

'By TIMBER CRUISER STAFF of the participants, when con- fronted with a little test of their knowledge of the lingo of the As most of you know, last 50's, came up with such witty The dance Thursday night at the Armory, sponsored by the Law Enforcement Club, capped off week's festivities. Moose and Da Sharks were late in arriving, but set up quickly and only missed their scheduled starting time by an hour and a half. There was an excellent turnout. The Moose and his Sharks, "Knuckles", "A-Bomb", and "Snake", worked wonders in up- dating the electronically prehistoric sound of the 50's. There weren't a lot a students dressed up in style, but enough to give an added touch of au- thenticity to the show. :week was 50's week. On Mon- retorts as, "what'shappenin" and day, it seemed as if no one was -getting into it too seriously. The movie, "American Graffiti" was -shown in the Natural Resources ·Building and helped to instill spirit into the whole scheme of events. Tuesday, a few of the stu- -dents decided to dress up for the occasion, and that evening the movie, "Lords of Flatbush" was shown. Wednesday, a few of the faculty got into the act, and the students got a good laugh. That afternoon, the 50's fashion con- test got underway. This event could have been a bit more or- ganized. For example, innocent bystanders were being chosen for the position of judges. The general consensus of the newly appointed judges was to have each of the 12 contes- tants take a stroll, displaying their garb, then approach the judges' bench and say something typical of a 50's teenager.

The judges, in their newfound infinite wisdom, real- ized the pressure involved with such high stakes, (a case of brew for the guys and a gift certifi- cate for the girls), overlooked these little mistakes and came up with the winners: Ray Schemanski won the beer for the guys. Sue Goodman won the gift certificate for the girls. "Frankie" Mccourt won for the faculty. Overall, the world week was a success, and should be something to look forward to again next year. N.S.I. .

You've put up with the Playboy non- sense and Hugh Hefnor's steady parade of bosom pals. You even got stuck with Twiggy's eye worship, which was a big thing for guys with a fetish for pupils but didn't go much for those of you who did not have such high goals in life. And finally, you've won. Legs are "in. " Women can throw away their padded bras, their girdles - especially their girdles. If they do not have legs, they ain't got it. You can't fake legs. You can't pump they up with silicone. You can't hide a fat thigh by pulling in an extra notch on something made by Playtex. You can't conceal a knock-knee with a swipe of paint and a puff of powder. Legs stand or fall on their own. They are the last bul- wark against female hypocrisy. Unfortunately, there are some creeps who are agitating to abolish the mini-skirt and make the micro-mini-wearers be punished for a capital offense. m Celebrating 125 Years Of Service ALL FORMS , _ SINCE 1867 127 W.

They say a girl can step up onto a bus without making it thighs right or thighs left. Of course they are right. Can't they understand that it's the charm of the mini-skirt? What do they want to see when they are walking downtown to the office - the abominable snowman? Some others claim that a girl in a mini-skirt is a girl with a cold. That has to be the ultra in viruses. Naturally, some girls shouldn't wear mini-skirts but that's no reason why the rest of us should suffer. Why de- prive leg watchers of an ankle here, a knee there, and an oh my gosh did you see that? Thanks to the mini-skirt, older men are getting out now and taking long walks in the fresh air. Their eyes are getting healthful exercise, and while they're staring at legs, men . aren't exactly thinking about high taxes, Vietnam, or even the Gross National Product. The only criticism that can be made is this; older women should not try to look like kids. It's a disaster when they do and they should try to develop a look of their own. A woman today can be anything she wants to be, be- cause clothes are not that important, they are not status symbols any longer. Clothes are for fun!
