Qwiges will also t>e occurring In our state and nationsil government in November. The Twig will also give some coverage to the candidates and their campaigr^s. Ttie Twig Is also experiencing maiiy changes as a paper. We have gone to four columns opposed to the previous five. Also, more pictures will be in cluded this year. ITie Twig is also, ad- Ing several new additions to the paper, such as an entertainment page, a feature' page, a sports page^nd f‘50 years Ago Today," "In The Courtyard").

We want to know what your thini! The installation of 600 student telephones has brought our total to 850 telephones on campus. This, of course, means more «dls are being made by ,more people and results in busy lines. The technical persons with whom we have consulted have advl^ us that traffic on our telephonelines will be very heavy ^or the first few weeks. It is al ready clear that the usage ecceeds our expectations. TTie result is that we are ecperiencing a blocking problem. How ever, steps are being taken to assess the magnitude of the problem and to alle viate it with the addition of more trunk lines. In the meE^time, we would like to suggest several ways you can assist us in alleviating some of the traffic block- 1. Use “ring again” feature to access local or long distance lines. This will connect you automatically to the next available line and will eliminate the need to constantly attempt to get a line. 2. When calling other persons in the dormitory or other numljers on campus, dial only the last four digits of their numt)er. Dialing the 829 prefix ties up twolines, while dialing only the last four digits ties up no lines. 3. The pay telephones on campus are on separate lines and are available for your use. 4. Until these problems are solved, please keep your calls toa minimum and as brief as possible. The main college switchlxard will be manned 24 hours a day during this adjustment period. Persons off campus will tie ^le to get an emergency mes sage to you by calling (919) 821-0231. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time. CATCH-ALL CATCH-ALL, a brand new Twig column this year, will carry such thins as engagement announcements, advice in response to your letters, and humorous tidbits about campus life. We'd love for you to jot down any type of problem and drop It in the Catch-All envelope outside the Twig office, second- floor Gate Center. Also let Os know of any engagements that you would like to have published in the Twig. Dear Nosy, ‘ I t^vejust met myroommateand I can see there are going to be some pro blems. We have nothing in common. She started decorating the room before I even got here. Her posters are plastered all over the wall. I feel like I'm being shoved Into the comer. And on top of all this, she took the bed beside the win dow! A lot of nerve she has. t really want to get along with her, but something has got to change or I’ll be miserable all year. Please - HELP MEII Off to a Bad Start Deer Off to a Bad Start, It appears to me as If you have not given this relationship d d^ance. Don't let her dominate. Sit down with her and tell her that you would like to put some of your posters up, too. Suggest that If she prefers first semester, you'll take the bed by the window second semester. It's always hard to get used to someone you don't know. Try to get to know her, maybe she's unhappy too. Find things you J)oth like and try to work together. However, after a month, if .you're still unhappy, Janice Mc- lendon, head of housing, will tie happy to work with you in tryirig to find a more compatible roomm^e. How to Get Undressed In Front of Strangers That first experience of changing dothes in front of your roommate can be downright horrifying if you’re unusually modest. But never fear it will pass and I mean the modesty. We have five easy steps to overcome this “unbearable" fear: 1. Make up your mind to change clothes in front of others. 2. n4re gown In position to slip quickly over head. 3. Face the wall unless your backside is worse. If this is the case, immediately go to the bathroom to finish the pro cess. 4. Remove jeans and slip Irtto gown in one movement. This may be tricky iHjt it can be done. Believe me, I know! 5. Leave dothes In floor, jump Into bed as qutokly as possible. If you hear any un expected giggles, Ignor them, they'll pass in time.
