President Bunting
Welcomes New Students
It is a personal pleasure for me to
welcome both new and returning students
to the Georgia College campus. For the
next few weeks this will be an extremely
busy place with orientation programs for
students and faculty, for registration and
placement examinations, and for the of-
ficial beginning of classes. However, I can
assure you that we shall all survive these
activities and that Georgia College will be
a better institution because of them.
I sincerely hope that all new students
(freshmen and transfers) will endeavor to
strive to attain the opportunities that we
believe exist here. Georgia College has
Operation
Underground
The end of a long-term project to place
into operation a new electrical distribution
system at Georgia College is finally in
sight. And scheduled for completion in
September,
The project, begun nearly three years
ago and completed in stages, involves the
installation and connection of electric
cable beneat the campus in a number of
areas.
Eventually, the system will be in the
form of a loop that will permit the isolation
of trouble spots in the case of a line failure.
For years, the college has been the only
large consumer of electricity in the area to
use a voltage different from that used by
other power company customers. This,
voltage was produced by older tran-
sformers at the Georgia Power sub-station
on the western edge of Milledgevilie.
When the new distribution system is in
full operation, the voltage to the college
will be changed to coincide with the
voltage produced by the electric company
for other customers. This will eliminate
the need to convert one voltage to another
as it is now when the voltage arrives on
campus.
According to Dr. W. Alan Jones, GC's
director if institutional planning, the new
system will provide the college with a
more reliable service. Additionally, with
the power lines underground, the system
would be less vulnerable to li^tning and
accidental interuption and the appearance
of the campus will be improved. Power
outages, for instance, brought about by
tree limbs falling across exposed elec-
trical lines will become a thing of the past,
he said.
The cables are being completely en-
cased in concrete and will be connected in
the near future with new transformers
currently being installed on the GO
campus;

been recognized over the years as a
quality institution with academic
programs of excellence. During the past
several years we have added over twenty
new programs, graduate and un-
dergraduate, to provide the type of
education that is essential for satisfaction
and success in the world of today and
tomorrow. Please be certain that you know
of these opportunities for your own per-
sonal self-development.
This College has always been considered
a "friendly campus". Let us work together
to continue this reputation in fact. Be as
helpful as you can to newcomers and make
it a point to know and respect each other.
You will find student leaders, faculty, and
administration ready and eager to help

ment at the college, noted also that the new
underground system would be safer, more
easily maintained by qualified campus
personnel, and, being closer to buildings,
aesthetically more attractive as an in-
tegral part of the landscaping and ar-
chitecture at the college.
The decision to establish an un-
derground system at the college goes back
to 1969 when a consulting engineering firm
recommended that the college replace its
existing overhead system with an un-
derground system.
Factors that caused GC to make a
decision to change the system were the
fact that overhead lines were overloaded,
voltage regulation was poor, and service
and meter points were not near the load
center. Ilie fact that the capability of
adding new loads to the present system
was limited and the fact that the Georgia
Power Co. was planning to convert all of
its distribution systems in the city from
four thousand volts to twelve thousand
volts also entered the picture, as did the
fact that the overhead distribution system
then in use would require extensive
rebuilding and expansion to adequately
serve the rapidly-expanding campus.

GC Receives Grants
Library—
Georgia College and the Central Georgia Association of Libraries have recently received
two grants, each in the amount of $4,235, to purchase various types of library materials.
The two grants were made by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's
Office of Education through a college library resources program,
GC will use its grant to support graduate programs on campus, primarily through the
purchase of all types of print and non-print materials, Charles E, Beard, director of
libraries at GC, announced.
Beard, project officer for the association's grant, indicated that the consortium would
use its grant money to purchase commercially-recorded audio cassette tapes in needed
subject areas and to purchase blank cassette tapes for use by the various association
members to copy tapes already in existence at the different institutions.
Members of the Central Georgia Association of Libraries are Emanuel Junior College in
Swainsboro, Fort Valley State College in Fort Valley, Middle Georgia College in Cochran,
Gordon Junior College in Barhesville, Tift College in Forsyth, Georgia College and Georgia
Military College in Milledgevilie, The Flint River Regional Library in Griffin, the Oc-
mulgee Regional Library in Eastman, and the Middle Georgia Regional Library, Macon
Junior College, Wesleyan College, and Mercer University, all in Macon.
Nursing—
An award of near $28,000 has been made to Georgia College by the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare's nursing capitation grant program, according to Dr. J. Whitney
Bunting, college president.
The grant, totaling $27,976, will be used by the GC nursing education department and
administered by Catherine Summerlin, department director.
Capitation grant funds as a rule may be spent for any purpose which the receiving in-
stitution of higher learning judges will most effectively advance its educational program.
Specifically the money will be used at GC to provide in-service or other type of training
that will increase the skills of licensed vocational or licensed practical nurses, nursing
assistants and aides, and other para-professional nursing personnel.
In essence, the grant will help to alleviate the current shortage of nurses and to upgrade
the skills of those already in the nursing profession.
The nursing capitation grant program, administered by the Bureau of Health Manpower
Education's division of nursing at the National Institutes of Health, replaces a program of
institutional grants previously authorized by the Health Manpower Act of 1968. Tlie
capitation program was authorized by the Nurse Training Act of 1971.
This is the third such grant to be received by GC. In 1972, the college nursing education
department was given a grant of $8,022. Last year, GC received $15,572 in grant money.
Biology—
An award of $1,117.96, the last of a fouripart grant from the Ideological Foundation, Inc.
of Macon, has been received by Georgia OoUege, according to Dr. David Cotter, chairman
of the GC biology department.
The amount represents the last distribution of the assets of the foundation established by
Edward Grassman and managed by Edward G. Engel.
Tlie $1,117.96 is the fourth unrestricted grant made to the biology department for
ecological research since 1970. Previous grants have been for $6,500, $1,000 and $500, which
with the present grant, have provided a total of $9,117.96 for ecological research at the
college.
The funds have been transferred to the Center for Environmental Study and Planning at

Book Increase
The combined library holdings at
Georgia College have passed the quarter-
million mark, according to Charles E.
Beard, director of libraries at the
MUledgeville institution of higher lear-
ning.
As of July 1, the GC libraries contained
252,066 pieces of print and non-print
material in the hia Dillard Russell
Library at the college and in the learning
resources center on campus.
The learning resources center was
created in 1973 to support the teacher
education program at the college and now
has in its collection 4,079 library resource
materials primarily selected for use by
elementary and secondary teachers and
teacher education students.
Both the main library and the learning
resources center permit circulation of
materials to Middle Georgians without
borrowing fees.
Karate Offered
Interested in learning self-defense? If
you answered that question affirmatively,
karate is for you. Now Georgia College has
an extra curricular activity, classes
available to students at the price of $7.50.
Larry Adams, a one time student of
Georgia College and holder of a black belt,
is instructing the course for the benefit of
the Drug Council of Middle Georgia. Tlie
fee of $7.50 will be donated to the Council
for expansion and improvement.
If interested please sign up at the in-
formation desk in the Maxwell College
Union before September 25th, 1974. After
all, what could be a more beneficial course
than that of learning to possibly save your
life?
Letters From The Editor
Dear Student Body,
This year, the Colonnade staff has plans
towards making the Colonnade one of the
best college newspapers. With plans as big
as these, it's obvious that we are going to
need a little help. I can think of no better
means of support from you the student
body than your help in making the
Colonnade the success we hope for.
Ilie Colonnade is the Student's sounding
ground to other students, faculty members
and friends. It is published in hopes that
the students view is expressed for all. The
Colonnade is also a form of news media
making available information which
might otherwise be unknown to the
student.
As you can see, the Colonnade is the

Dear Freshmen,
By the end of this week, you will have, in
one form or anotherrbeen welcomed to
Georgia College so many times that you
probably wiU feel sick if you hear that
word one more time. Therefore, let me be
one of the first to wish you luck here at dear
o'lGC.
Being a transfer student here just last
year, I Imow what all of you new freshmen
must be thinking as you tour the seemingly
endless grounds which during your next
four years will be called home. Believe
me. This place is not half bad. . .in fact,
I'm sure you will like it,
You will soon come to realize that the
students here are all anxious to help you in
the traditional problems experienced by
freshmen, and would like to be a friend.
Your instructors too, are a pretty nice
bunch of folks, (of course I don't know
them all, but I can speak for those I have
anything else," he noted, "and
Milledgeviile seemed a good place to begin
a series of pilots about Southern writers."
Dr. Sullivan, who hopes that the pilot
made recently about the Georgia College
alumna will become the basis of a series
for educational television, knew Miss
O'Connor at the University of Iowa where
she obtained her MA degree after earlier
~ had in a years time quite favorably!)
For many of you, this year will mark the
first that you have lived away from home.
Tliough MUledgeville is a small town, we
have no trouble finding things to do. (ie..
.the Butcher Shop,Pub, the damn, di'iving
to Macon's Uncle Sam etc...) For many,
campus clubs, organizations, and
homework keep the schedule anything but
boring.
What ever route you choose, the secret to
happiness is to do it with a friend. And as
the old saying goes "to have a friend is to
be one". If you make your first step a
friendly one You'll find this place a lot
more to your liking.
Here's to fun, success, and happiness!!
See ya around campus.

Dear Students,
Fang, (alias Ctiarles Edward Herty III)
is a beautiful dog, you see, a brown Ger-
man Shepherd mutt with discriminating
tastes. Tliat is, he likes cafeteria food
better than dog food. Many well-ineaning
people let him in to scrounge what he can,
and this is the problem: Ttie health
authorities don't want him in the cafeteria,
and will throw him in the pound if his
presence up there continues.
So please, friends, if you want to feed
him your scraps, take liim down on the
grass before you give them to him, OK?
Hiat'11 be better for all concerned,
especially Fang.
Manyllianks,
Lindsay Morris
Dear Lindsey,
Tliank you for your concern of Fang. I'm
sure the other students will agree with
your proposal in feeding him.

receiving a bachelor's degree at GC.
"Flannery was obviously something
very special even back in the early part of
her career," he said recently, sitting in a
rocking chau* at Andalusia Farm, north of
Milledgeviile, where Flannery spent much
of her time writing and raising her
peacocks.
She was actually a legend in her own
time," he added. "I remember when Hirst
went to Iowa, I heard that there was a girl
from Georgia already on campus by the
name of Flannery O'Connor about whom
great things were expected."
Dr. Sullivan also remembered Miss
O'Connor as extremely unpretentious (in
spite of the fame that preceded her from
Georgia to Iowa), that she had a Southern
accent "that she wouldn't change for
anyone", and that she was among the first
in her class to publish a story in a major
publication.
The television pilot that Dr. Sullivan
wrote and will narrate on the screen, will
be shown first in Nashville. Later, it will be
offered to 60 other stations in the southern
segment of the National Education
Television network.
After the pilot is aired m the South, it will
be offered in September to NET officials
for national telecasting and to the Public
Broadcasting Service for consideration as
a series about American authors of note.
The pilot is being financed and produced
by WDCN-TV in Nashville, an affiliate of
the NET network.
Locations for the film included interior
and exterior scenes at Andalusia Farm,
the Qine house on Green Street, and the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in
Milledgeviile.
The film, in addition to network telecast,
will be offered also to schools and colleges
in the nation at cost.
Dr. Sullivan said that the pilot was "off
• to a great start" and- predicted that it
would be good enough to attract national
interest.
In discussing Miss O'Connor's works
further, he called her "the only truly
original writer to come out of the South
since the end of World War II."
"Hie others are merely reflections," he
said.
"Flannery was a distinctive writer," he
stated, "one who was absolutely uncanny
in the portrayal of character."
Dr. Sullivan cited as one of the reasons
for Miss O'Connor's success the fact that
she "stayed in one place to do her
writing."
"She wrote about things she knew best,"
he remarked, "and this gave a feeling and
a form to her work."
Dr. Sullivan, who is as familiar with
farm life as he is with the works of Flan-
nery O'Connor, has a farm in Tennessee
where he retires as often as he can, and
indicated that he "was more envious than
anything" of those who can live on a farm
like Andalusia on a permanent basis.

NEW MEMBERS
"Let's Talk About It"
n you are a student who likes to take
advantage of the opportunities available,
you vWll probably soon Ipe seeing the at-
tractive new councelor, Nancy Corbin.
' Miss Corbin, a graduate from Georgia
with a master degree, has been employed
as a senior high English teacher in Florida
and participated in the counceling
program while studying at Georgia.
In addition to counceling, her interests
lie in music and hiking. I asked Miss
(^rbin just exactly what kind of coun-
celing slie would be doing.
"Career counceling and personal
counceling." She went on further by
saying, "I think Georgia College has a lot
to offer and it is my job to help students to
get the most out of their college ex-
perience."
Miss Corbin feels that the student should
branch out into electives to broaden his
outlook on life. This helps in planning for a
career, which she made note of is now
being started as early as grade school.
As part of the counceling program, Miss
Corbin will have available aptitude tests,
plan workshops and seminars, conduct
group and inc^vidual counseling.
As of yet, her office location has not been
Flower Lady Leaves
Twenty-two years ago Elisabeth Anthony
of Macon came to Georgia College to teach
in the business administration depart-
ment.
On July 1, she will become an associate
professor emeritus of business ad-
ministration, her long tenure of the college
ended.
In completing 22 years at the
Milledgeviile institution of higher lear-
ning, Miss Anthony, known for her flowers
as well as her business acumen, topped by
one year the record of her father who
taught at Mercer University for 21 years,
from 1929 to 1950.
Miss Anthony, a native of Kentucky but
reared in Tennessee, was educated first at
Hall-Moody Junior College (now the
University of Tennessee at Martin). Later
she went to Mercer where she earned her
BA degree in 1931 and Peabody College for
Teachers where she received the MA
degree in 1948.
Before coming to GC as an assistant
professor in 1952, she taught French,
Latin, English, and history at Perry High
School, Norman Junior College at Norman
Park, near Tifton, and Stockbridge High
School and business subjects at Jordan
High School in Columbus.
During her two decades at GC, she
served under four presidents. Only three
other teachers still at the college were
there when Miss Anthony arrived at what
was then the Georgia State College for
Women "Dr. Joseph Vincent of the
chemistry department, Miss Ruth
Maynard of the home economics depart-
ment,, and Dr. Joseph Specht of the
department Miss Anthony served so well.
"I've enjoyed associating with my many
friends on campus over the years and I've
enjoyed teaching students who are now
scattered throu^out the Southeast," she
said recently.
Now that she has retired, Miss Anthony
can devote as much time as she likes to her
established. However, the information will
be printed as soon as available. Miss
(Sorbin is looking forward to meeting the
students and helping them with their
problems. After speaking with her, it
became clear to me that this is one
profession she will be very good in. Why
not give her a chance to prove it?
Willoughby's
Got The Beat
James Willoughby, assistant professor
of music at Georgia College, recently
attended a jazz workshop at Newberry
College in South Carolina.
Th.e event was sponsored by the college
and the National Endowment of the Arts.
At the workshop, sessions were held on
arranging music for jazz ensembles, sight
reading the latest in "big band" jazz
literature, improvisation techniques, and
the improvement of rehearsal techniques
with jazz ensembles.
GC helps to sponsor a jazz workshop
each February for high school musicians
from throughout the state.
flowers, her part-time avocation in the
past.
The Maconian has been raising flowers
ever since she can remember because, as
she puts it, "I just can't live without
having flowers around me."
Comments on her flowers have been
almost as numerous as the blooms that
have decorated the campus over the years.
"Hiis is one way that I get pleasure out
of my flowers," she says, "seeing them
enjoj»ed by others."
GC's "flower lady" became a gradener
almost by proxy. Her mother once
operated a nursing home, but was too busy
running the business to keep up the
grounds. So, Miss Anthony, when she was
home from her teaching duties, became
gardener by default.
Currently in her Macon backyard, she
has more than 40 rose bushes, a large
number of day lillies and irises, and seven
tomato plants. Tomatoes are the only
vegetable she grows.
During her years at GC, she has become
a familiar sight on campus carrying vases
of flowers to administrative offices and
classrooms. And flowers and plants
originally grown in the large garden
behind her home on Merritt Avenue have
been transplanted all over Milledgeviile.
Even the Mansion, the home of the college
president and his wife, boasts flowers
transplanted from Macon.
The retired GC business teacher has no
specific plans for her retirement except to
continue growing flowers, doing volunteer
work, for her chwch in Macon, and
traveling.
Her traveling is limited, she says,
because her garden is almost a year-
around project, keeping her dose to home
except for short jaunts of no more than a
monOi.
At a recent faculty meeting, she was
presented a sterling silver bowl in
recognition of the esteem the faculty hold
for h-er at the college.
Talk Of
Life
Quotations from the Broadway musical
"Mame" and Hindu philosophy spice an
article in the current issue of The
Adelphean by Dean of Students Carolyn
Gettys of Georgia College.
The Adelphean is the official publication
of Alpha Delta Pi and has a national cir-
culation of approximately 80,000.
In the article, entitled "On The Highway
of Sisterhood", a condensation of a talk
given by the dean at the installation of the
fraternity's new Zeta Iota chapter on
campus. Dean Gettys compares life to a
journey.
The dean advises in the article that the
journey should be paced, that it should be
slow enough for experiences to be ab-
sorbed, and that new highways be
traveled.
The theme behind the words from the
play "Mame" — "Open a new window,
open a new door, travel a new highway,
one you've never gone before" — was
equated by the dean to what she believed
could be a challenging opportunity to all.
"New windows, new doors, untraveiled
highways open an unlimited ongoing, over-
flowing way of life determined only by the
clarity with which one views the possible",
she noted.
The dean also suggested that journeys
through life be approached with a positive
The Bike Fight
iuRR!
Dr. David G. Baarda, professor of
chemistry at Georgia College,-as a bicycle
rider has two pet peeves.
Dogs and schoolbus drivers.
The GC chemistry professor, who rides
his three-speeder regularly between the
college and his home all year 'round, has
been bitten by canines dogging his
pedaling feet and run off the road by
schoolbus chauffeurs with disgusting
regularity, he says.
Dr. Baarda traded his family's second
car four summers ago for his present bike,
anticipating the energy crisis by three
years and getting enough money for the
car to pay for the bike.
The car, a 1960 Chevrolet, had been his
wife's car when they married in 1962 and
had considerable sentimental value,
Baarda remembers. But not enough to
keep it.
Only a heavy downpour will stay the
completion of his five-mile round-trip to
the college five and six days a week. On
days when the rain might be heavy, he
accepts a ride to GC with his wife,
sometimes putting the bike into the back of
the station wagon in case the weather
should clear in time for the return trip.
When he gets a "wet suit", he may even
give up the occasional luxury of coming to
work in the car on rainy days, he indicates.
Over four years of pedaling Dr. Baarda
has had only one flat tire (when he ran
over some glass near the gas company
office on Jefferson Street) and has fallen
only once (when he didn't angle his bike
enough to cross a railroad track). 11ie
tumble, in the first year, caused him to
beat a hasty retreat home for another pair
of trousers.

him to the hospital for a tetanus shot, have

attitude, that those who take the journey
should expect to be "in the very middle of
good, exciting, and great things if the
journey is to become an adventure."
A third suggestion, that the sisters need
and depend upon each other, was made by
Dean Gettys in the article, using a Hindu
proverb as the basis for the suggestion.
"An old Hindu proverb suggests that
happy outcome of sharing and in-
terdependence," the dean noted, quoting,
"Help thy brother's boat across, and lo,
thine own has reached the shore."
Dean Getty's came to Georgia College
when it was The Woman's College of
Georgia in 1965 from a position as dean of
women at Georgia Southern College.
Alpha Delta Pi was founded in 1851 at
Wesleyan College in Macon.
Dilemma
been so numerous that he has had to carry
sticks or sticks with chains to keep the
pestiferous pups away. A water pistor with
ammonia may be the next step, he feels.
Dr. Baarda has found that once he has
established a route throug dog-infested
neighborhoods, cycling is usually
relatively safe. It's venturing into a dif-
ferent area (and meeting different dogs)
that's dangerous.
One of Baarda's daughters won't cycle
more than two blocks from home because
of the packs of pooches that roam the area,
he says.
Dr. Baarda uses his Sears catalogue
special for running errands as well as for
commuting to class and for cycling with
other members of his family on evenings
and on weekends.
He frequently pays his bills by bike,
making five or more stops on a billi)aying
swing that, at ten cents a stamp, means
extra pocket money.
On his is^ninute jaunts between home
and college, he carries his books in an old
waterproof beach bag firmly positioned in
a chUd's seat on the front of his bike.
Dogs and schoolbus drivers and rain
aren't the only hazards of biking to work,
according to the professor.
An occasional prankster can make life
tedious too, he says, remembering the
clown who went to the expense of pur-
chasing a padlock to place on the Baarda
bike.iTo free his cycle. Dr. Baarda had to
call on the GC physical plant and main-
tenance department to sever the lock with
a hacksaw.
Cold weather is more of a discomfort
that a problem for bikers, but as Dr.
Baarda puts it, "I really have no problem
staying warm in thewinter. Tlie colder it
gets, the faster I pedal."

"In a college course such as this we
generally discuss such topics as conflicts,
defense mechanisms, emotional traumas,
perception, personality theories, and
many other such topics," Cheek notes,
"but, it is difficult for many young people
to understand the utter frustration and
dispair which most adults face at one time
or another."
Field trips to the Georgia College nur-
sery school, to a weekly meeting of
Alcoholics Anonymous, to a drug and
alcohol ward at Central State Hospital and
to the Moore Funeral Home in
Milledgeville are on the regular agenda for
the class with the one to the funeral home
always among the most popular of the field
trips.
"The biggest adjustment that a person
has to make in life is adjusting to his own
death. It usually comes as a shock to most
people that death will actually touch
them," comments Cheek of the trip to the
funeral home.
"In classroom or group discussions,
students frequently say something like. .
.'when he dies so-and^o will happen, but
not if I die, in speaking of one' self.' Such
statements seem to indicate that most of
us. tend to think of death as a reality for
others but as a vague possibility for our-
selves," he adds.
"Adjustment is a continuous process.
We do not just 'develop' at an early age
and simply grow older from that stage of
early development. Each stage of life
requires many new and quite different
adjustments," he points out.
' 'Look at some ojf the stages of man. Hie

person who tries to remain rigid and un-
changing through all these stages will
have much difficulty in accepting his own
role in living a happy and productive life."

Lately, the communication gap seems to
have widened to such dimensions that the
entire college could easily become more
isolated than it already is, which could be
disasterous, especially in view of the fact
that Milledgeville, Georgia is not exactly
the Grand Central Station of the world.
Here, reference is made specifically to the
slick, new telephone system which was
recently installed throughout the College
and theoretically enables one to easily and
immediately contact the State Capitol, the
Governor's Office, the Pub, and numerous
other agencies of overwhelming im-
portance, which previously could be
contacted only through a regular ole long-
distance call. Unfortunately, the previous
ease with which a local call could be
placed has been sacrificed for the addition
of this bad, new system.
Probably the best way to explain the
desire to place a local telephone call is to

appaling scene taking place in broad

author was faced with two alternatives:
1) to run up and cork the dude on the'
head with a brick and
2) to run and call Security.
Since the author is but a mere runt of .128
lbs. and has always possed somewhat of a
yellow streak anyway, he chose to run and
call Security, only to be met with
tremendous obstacles. Upoti dialing the
number for Security he was met with a
barrage of funny noises, dead telephone
lines, and voices saying in unnatural in-
tonnations, "I'm sor-ree, thee-num-ber-
which-you-have-di-aled-is-not-in-ser-
vice!" This prompted the author to seek
assistance, and upon turning to the
"directions" page in the college telephone
listings he was met with: "Hi, there
friends, here are your directions to using

The Georgia Zeta Colony of Phi Delta
Tlieta Fraternity would like to welcome all
students, new and returning, to Georgia
College,
Phi Delta Theta is a fraternity whose
role is one of commitment to fairness and
justice, planned and constructive change
to that which is good and honorable and
that which helps mankind to survive the
difficulties.
In Phi Delta Theta, brotherhood is not
just a word, but giving of one-self to the
purpose of benefiting your brother, en-
couraging him in his search for personal
meaning and direction in life.
Social activities help make college years
wonderful years to remember. The
friendships you make in Phi Delta llieta
will continue for your lifetime.
Phi Delta Hieta goes beyond the social
aspect in order to benefit its members. It
functions as a training school in leader-

the author was never a whiz at math nor
had ever attended any classes in computer
programming, one can readily see the
difficidties with which he was involved at
that time.
In retrospect, the author was quite
probably overreacting to the alledged
incident on front campus, in light of the
facts that the supposed victim broke loose
several times but made no attempt to
escape, never cried for help as such, and
seemed to be more angry at her com-
panion than frightened of him. Never-
theless, it is comforting to know.what
should such an incident ever actually
occur, one is able to obtain assistance
quickly and efficiently with the aid of our
shiney hew telephone system.
Here are a few suggestions concerning
its use: one must condition one's self to the
fact that one must dial at least twelve
numbers in order to call a number just
down the block. 2) find someone who is
unusually adept at the construction of
paper airplanes so messages may be
written on them and flown throughout the
various departments, or 3) to save up
spare string and Coke cans which may be
readily fashioned into an efficient com-
munications network. Of course, one may
also choose to keep himself armed with
bricks just in case.
