Record phone call The record breaking phone call between the men of Sandison Hall and the women of Burford Hall ended at 10 a.m., November 13, when the phone went dead. The call lasted for 622 hours, sur- passing the old world’s record of 550 hours which was set at Kansas State University in 1966. Fifth floor in San- dison and sixth floor in Burford were the floors involved in the “phonathon.” Robert Hannel, a second semester junior majoring in manufacturing design, commented that he talked about height, weight, measurements, hair color, classes, hobbies, weather and future plans during his 45 hour phone conversation from Friday to Sunday. Hannel commented that he might try the phonathon again next semester with another dorm. Throughout the call records were kept as to who talked and for how long. The phone call equalled the world’s record on November 10 at 10 a.m. Expanding draft? The SGA’s Draft Counseling Service has expanded its activities to include veterans’ problems and has changed its name to the Draft and Veterans Counseling Service. According to the center’s director, Dave Howard, the change is due to the expected elimination of Selective Ser- vice inductions after June 30, 1973. Howard noted that despite the suspen- sion of inductions, the Selective Ser- vice System will remain intact. All of the system’s other functions, such as classification and examination, will continue. In addition to advising those still eligible for draft, the center also deals with the problems experienced by veterans. A major problem noted by Howard is the veteran’s adjustment from military regulations to civilian law. Regulations, he stated, differ among the various military bases. Howard said that the application of these regulations is based more on personalities than on fairness and justice. Another problem with which the center deals is the veteran’s adjust- ment to civilian courts. ‘Military courts,’ Howard stated, ‘‘haven’t recognized all the constitutional rights that a civilian court has.” SOSNDHAPYONS oh SO BNAAPYONS os Burford and Sandison break the world’s record for a phone call.

Campaigns conclude On November 7 ISU students went either to the Yellow Cab Company at 1000 Spruce Street (Precinct 5-C) or to Redman Hall at 12th and Mulberrty Streets (Precinct 4-A) to vote for the next president of the United States. Alan C. Rankin, President of ISU; Paul O'Dell, President of SGA; and Gary Coffman, Chairman of RHA all made statements urging students to vote. O'Dell publicly endorsed Matthew Welsh for Governor and Warren Henegar for Congress. As everyone knows the election results were quickly known. President Nixon was reelected by carrying 49 states including Indiana. Welsh went down to defeat to Otis R. Bowen and Warren Henegar lost to incumbent John Myers. ‘Jogathon’ success “Thonisms” seem to prevail at Indiana State with ‘“telethons,” ‘“skip- ropeathons” and now a “jogathon.” The faculty and staff of ISU participated ina 50-hour jogathon from November 28 through November 30. James L. Wittenauer, director of intramural activities and William M. Malloy, track coach, organized the event. They said the jogathon is acknowledgement of the ever- increasing popularity of jogging for physical exercise and total fitness. The ISU faculty and staff, they also pointed out, were jogging for mental and emotional health as well as physical fitness. ISU President Alan C. Rankin donned jogging attire and officially started the event by jogging the first minutes of what is possibly the world’s first jogathon. “We haven't heard of a jogathon ever being tried or accomplished by any other college-university faculty and staff men and women.” concurred Director Wittenauer and Coach Malloy. “Perhaps our 50-hour event might well establish a new world record.” Faculty members in the jogathon.

Attorney faces controversy As SGA attempts to hire its own at- torney for student use because they feel that the university's attorney is not acting in the student’s interests, note might be taken of the purposes of Darrel E. Felling. Felling was retained on October 16 by ISU on a part time basis to serve as attorney for the new department — Student Legal Counsel- ing Service. Felling’s office is located in Room 100 of the Union Building South. The office is open at least 20 hours per week for students and student organizations. Felling is available to advise students as to a course of action open to them or to function as a referral ser- vice. After explaining his cir- cumstances, a student will be in- structed as to whether or not he has a legal problem. He will be advised as to rights, responsibilities and obligations. The attorney is restricted from representing students in a court of law. His duties entail counseling, advice and referral services only. Felling has been retained through June 30 when the program will be reexamined with the possibility of expanding the position of Student Legal Counselor to a full time position. Felling states that the problems he has dealt with consist mostly of univer- sity grie vances that students have. Other leading problems concern tenant-landiord problems and criminal charges. Meanwhile, SGA has not given up in its attempt to gain its own lawyer. After their first bill was rejected by the Board of Trustees, the Student Senate has passed a second bill again re- questing the right of the Student Government Association to retain its own lawyer.

Where do our fees go? “The combined contingent, stu- dent service and building facilities fees are used to help meet the cost of con- struction and maintenance of buildings, campus, library, laboratories and to support various student services and activities,” according to the Student Handbook. Instructional programs are also partially financed by these fees. These combined fees total to $20 per semester hour during the regular academic year for Indiana residents. An additional $17 per semester hour is paid by out of state students. As stated above, there are three basic areas of fees that account for the student pay- ment. The contingent fee supplements the State budget along with other mis- cellaneous fees and fines to cover current university operations. These Poe . a 26 fees supply the working capital for money necessary in such departments as instructional areas, physical plant operations, administrative operations, Student Life Association, repairs, utilities and maintenance. Some of the fines collected would include library fines, change in course fees, parking fines and lab breakage fees. The building facilities fee is used for just that purpose stated—construc- ting academic buildings. The money collected from students helps to meet the cost of construction. The student service fee is directed towards student oriented projects as opposed to academic projects. Some examples are SGA, convocations, musical activities, women’s physical education activities and the Afro- American Cultural Center. Fe oa | for clean-up : ae - for repairs
