Phone travails prevail r

. What's that, you can't use your phone? AT&T says you have a delin- quent balance? You didn't make those calls? Hmm ... sounds like the phone company bug has struck the College again. For those of you who don't remember, the College nearly went to court two years ago when they gave Sprint our Social Security numbers which they prominently displayed on our bills. Students threatened lawsuit and hence we reverted to the costlier AT&T. AT&T promotes itself by claiming to have superior service. But it seems that they are lacking some common sense. More and more students are finding their account codes inoperative with no given explanation. Yesterday, many of us received bills for the first time equipped with late charges. Of course, the first bills were sent to our homes, since we are assumed to com- mute! It seems as though we are magically supposed to know how much to pay and when. We recommend the College get AT&T off their laurels. This type of service is not worth $25,000, or even $25. It is up to AT&T and the College to ensure that late charges are rescinded and apologies extended. While we understand that AT&T is responsible for phone service, the College is responsible to the students for the agent they select. It seems with all the money and equipment the College can afford on Ethernet service, they can find a long distance provider who will provide legally and economically competent service. But we just saw them! We love our parents. They fed us, clothed us, toilet trained us, and did lots of other wonderful things. Now we're big kids, wearing big kid pants and going to college. For the students who live close to Wooster, fall break is a chancetCKgohome, see our friends, go to our favorite coffee Letters: Fenske wrongs Elders right shops, and visit our parents.
