When some news just can- not wait until the morning, the easiest thing to do is pick up the phone and dial seven numbers. In the middle of studying, the ring of the telephone is sometimes music to the ears. Siblings fight over the phone, and sometimes the only solution is to assign hours to the family. “I hardly 2 ever get to talk because my sister is always on the phone,” said And Weil, junior. “What phone? I can't use the phone after 6:30,” said Can- dice Chase, sophomore. @ Somehow I always end up talking longer than I had planned.” said Gret- chen Schlachter, junior Student Life If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another Even’ worse, when the time comes to call someone, it seems like everyone is gone or cannot talk. “When you are sitting at home and you have time to talk, does the phone ring? No! But when you have to be somewhere in a hurry it rings ... it never fails,” said Mary Jane Rumley, sophomore. Girls seem to talk on the phone longer than boys; “I spend so much time on the phone — about two hours total,’” said Medora Thomas, senior. Boys talk on the phone “about an hour ... mostly to girls,” said Carter Carrao, senior. Without phones, though, how would you know if anyone was home or not? What would happen to gossip? How could rumors be spread? How could you make phone pranks? It is hard to imagine life without them. §{3 Amy Bradley a Ie Ze ee JRE Lf 4 ‘ a “a - y m
