Sounds A great, doesn't it? It certainly would be if that service didn't cost anything. In reality, though, tHe' service will be paid for by the room and board increase the Ithaca College Board of Trustees approved this month. And now students· who currently choose to save money by not paying for local phone service will have no choice but to cough up the cash for a service they don't want. Carl Sgrecci, vice president and treasurer, explains that more and more students every year are choos­ ing not to pay for local phone service, yet the col­ lege must still maintain the infrastructure to provide that service to students who do want it. The cost of that maintenance outstrips the revenue generated by students paying for phone service, and so now the col­ lege will simply charge everyone for that service. Sgrecci has a point. Unfortunately, the college chose not to present that argument when it announced the change. Instead, administrators tried to paint a rosy pic­ ture of an administration graciously granting free phone service to all on-campus students. The truth is this was a move motivated by economics, not altruism. Furthermore, students were never consulted Letters about this decision, despite the fact that it affects everyone who lives on campus.
