V.C. HOY THROWS OUT BY-LAWS TO KEEP STUDENT FROM REG FEE CHAIR by Lance Robbins The Registration Fee Comwhich closed out its two week yearly session this week, is easily responsible for the most important decisions concerning budgeting and the distribution of funds. The student-faculty Committee handles roughly 2 1 ■'■> million dollars of registration fees and decides how that money shall be sifted through the various departments and programs within Student Affairs. In October, three experienced members resigned, and novice students had to take their places. Then last week a long battlebetween the ASUCI officers and Student Affairs came to an abrupt and startling halt. Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs Jack Hoy ignored an ASUCI Council decision to remove Peggy Kravitz from the Reg Committee. She is the senior representative on the Committee. The Council decision was made on the basis of a Council Amendment that prevents students from being on Committees if there existed a "conflict of interest." The Council, aftermuch discussion,decided that there was a conflict in Kravitz'scasebecause sheheld an important job within Student Affairs, and therefore could not effectively represent the mittee, student vote. Hoy resisted both the motion and student demands and ruled that Kravitz. by his orders, would remain on the Committee (New U, Jan. 10). If one analyzes the move by Student Affairs to keep Kravitz on theCommittee, it isevident that it was an attempt to keep a student vote working for Student Affairs. The office wanted Kravitz to stay on the Committee, despite Council rules, so badly, that Kravitz was not even enrolled as a student whenshe wason theCommittee last year. Vice-Chan- cellor Hoy probably knew that, but it was not mentioned. There are UC rules that state only an enrolled student can be,on Committees. The deliberate flaunting of rules and regulationsby such important figures in the Administration is disturbing to students and faculty alike. The overruling of the Council decision was perhaps as one faculty member says, "a serious threat to student effectiveness that could set a precedent in future disputes unless something is done." If that incident merely chip- ped away at the integrity and questioned the authority of the office of Student Affairs, the situation surrounding the attempt to unseat Bob Lawrence. Assistant ViceChancellor of Student Affairs, as Chairman of the Reg Committee, simply crumbled the foundation of ASUCI-Student Affairs cooperationfor the future. In early November, mem- bers of the Committee expressed a desire to have a new chairperson, a student, instead of Bob Lawrence. Since students have a majority on . — Bob Lawrence Remains Chairman o» Reg Fee Committee through dubious means — Greg Thomas Attempting to make Reg Fee Com mittee serve the needs of students the Committee already, some people felt the students were going too far. Yet the motion for a new chairperson did not arise out of thin air, without any basis. It was a perfectly legitimate request, not a political power grab by the students on the Committee. It also did not mean that Lawrence was necessarilydoing a bad job. In fact, some former members of the Committee had nothing but praise for Lawrence's leadership abilities. Yet his critics seem to find that aspect of his personality to be a fault. They say he is too aggressive,too intimidating. Others feel that Lawrence has spread himself too thin, dabblingin too many Committee activities to effectively concentrate on the important ones. However, it was discovered that the original by-laws for the RegCommittee stated that the "chairperson istobeelected every November." Cireg Thomas." ASUCI Vice-President and member of the Committee, sent memos to Lawrence and Hoy which stated that the ASUCI Council and members of the Committee assumed that elections would be held as scheduled. At the subsequent Reg Fee meeting. it was announced that unofficiallystudents werein favor of a student chairperson. continued on page 5 New University UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE VOL. 7/NO. 22/FRIDAY. JANUARY 17, 1975 ah inside vitw TH OCTD NEGOTIATIONS THE by Terry Moore At the council meeting on January 7. the ASUCIdecided to sign a contract for continued bus service with the OCTD.This contract involved an increase of ninety cents per quarter perstudent aboveprevious expectations. The New University has interviewed Don Frambach. ASUCI president, one of the principle negotiators of the contract. New U:. First, how did this situation occur? Frambach: Spring quarterof last year, a man from the OCTD named Rick Rostamonte. Dennis Hampton (ASUCI business manager), and Armando Banuelos negotiated a contract which fixed the cost at $1.30 per student per quarter. This amount was to be approvedby the students in a referendum in the Fall Quarter Regpackets,but due to opposition from the Registrar, the referendum could not be held until Winter Quarter. In August, "just after Ibecame president, a newspaper article appearedsaying that a contract had been signed between the OCTD and UCI. Having read that. I assumed that the contract had in fact been signed, and Icontinued working on other problems. But late in September Iwas informed that the contract had never been signed, and that in the period between spring and fall everyone involved with the contract at OCTDhadbeen replaced, from thestatistician all the way up. The new group wanted a contract with a lee of $:3.5O per student per quarter. ASUCI and the OCTD then engaged in protracted discussions, and we pointed out that the OCTD hadnobasis for its claim that this represent ed twenty five cents per student ride. TheOCTD then conducted a survey in the middle of the quarter to determine student ridership andcame up with a revised contract with a fee of $2.50 per student in the winter quarter, and $2.75 in the spring quarter. After that we spent a long time trying to get theraw data from the survey. Iwrote letters,made phone calls,and arrangedmeetings, butit wasn't until Wednesday evening of Finals week that we got the survey data. Itturned out that thedata had been totally misinterpreted, and the statistician at OCTD finally came up with a figure of $2.00 per student per quarter. But the person's superior stepped in and said that the contract would have to be based on an assessment of $2.10 per student per quarter. When we asked him why. he said, and Iquote: "The students must pay for the privilege of riding for free." He also said that unless we agreed, he would cut off bus service the next day. We finally arranged a meeting with the General Manager who said that there was no way that his decision could be changed, and that furthermore there was no way for employees ofOCTD to make a contract unless there were twenty-five cents collected per student ride. This was due to a decision of the OCTD governing board. The situation when we brought the contract before the council was this: if the council had not approved the contract, the free bus service would have been terminated the next morning. New U: Why did you support the contract before the coun, cil? Frambach: You mean, why did Ithink we should pay this exorbitant price of $2.10? I the council to do, was to pay thought that if we didn't have a too much for one quarter, contract, then they would take about $6,500 more than was us very seriously when we originallyagreed upon. Then, asked for a discount, but in in negotiating for next quartalking to the employeesof the ter, we would try to get the OCTD board. Irealized that OCTD board to change its they just can't make that policy and if they didn't, then decision, it has to be made by at the end of the quarter the the Board. Iwas concerned bus service would end. that, number one. if we didn't New I': How does this have the contract, it would be decision to accept the condifficult to talk to the Board tract affect the student? Will about it; service would have fees be increased by that stopped, and a new program amount" would have to be initiated, and Frambach: No. Fees will not there's an inertia with this be affected at all Idon't know kind of board. With u contract how we are going to raise the Ifelt it would be easier to money, we could take the money from contingency or approach them. But secondly, there is quite a from our reserves but that bit of service to the UCIcam- would leave us badly strappus right.now.and it's geared ped for the rest of the year.

If we were not to dent Affairs, has initially said have the contract, they might he is opposed to that. This will change the lines, and they be a problem no matter might change the schedules so whether we have bus service that they cater to a different spring quarter or not. The group.

STUDENT REGENT NEEDED The University of California is behind the times in terms of student representation on powerful governingboards. The Board of Regents should have a student representative. Student representatives are serving effectively on twenty-four boards in twenty states, and there is no reason why a student regent would be any different. Our opinion is supported by the voters of California, since it was Proposition Four that allowed for this reformation of the structure of the Board of Regents. Even more emphatically, our editorial opinion speaks for the student electorate. In the November election, over 90% of the student electorate voted in favor of PropositionFour. There are strong arguments for student representation on the Board of Regents, and very weak arguments against it. One scholarly study on this topic points up the unique advantages to having a student on theBoard. It regarded the "student perspective in most cases as a combination of the disinterested outsider (since students are not experienced educators and since they have been in contact with higher education for a relatively short time) and the involved insider (since students are, in fact, involved in and affected by nearly all aspects of their educational environment.)" The arguments against having a student regent are numerous but invalid. Examples are as follows: a student regent wouldhave a conflict of interest serving on the board; the student regent couldn't commit enough time to requirements of the job; and a student regent couldn't be trusted with confidential matters. All of these arguments are fallacious. The student would have less conflict of interest than most of the other regents, who have interest in either industry or the press. Surely a student has as much time to devote to the regency job as any of the "busy" tycoons on, the board. And lastly, the ability to keep certain matters confidential is an ability that varies from person to person, and situation to situation. Speaking before a Special Committee on Reorganization in Los Angeles, Larry Miles, Chairman of the University of California Student Body President's Council, stated, "History will record your decision. Ihope it speaks to an era of increased sensitivity to student participation in the governing process." We hope so too. WRITraToN ! INFLATION STRIKES STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE a charge to students.

Olympia As one who knows Austin Train well Iwas particularly upset to read Steve Gay's letter in the December third issue of the New University. Austin Train is not a racist, political fanatic, or religious zealot. He is a devil's advocate: one who raises obstreperous objections in order to provoke equally noisy reactions. Attacks upon his ideas are welcome, but attacks upon his character are not. Isuggest that Gayliberatehimself from his parochialintolerance and accept Austin Train for the fine man he is.

JANUARY 17, 1975 Lawrence was caught by surprise at the sudden move, and so was the office of Student Affairs. Apparently the office had not remembered the rules. The meeting was postponed until further discussion because of Dean Whiteley 'sinsistence on full attendance if voting was to take place on such an important matter. A few weeks later, seemingly out of thin air, new by-laws for the Reg Committee were handed out, authored by Jack Hoy. The sudden appearance of a new set of rules which immediately canceled the rules of the old by-laws, surprised and shocked most students and faculty. This new document stated simply that the "originalby-laws wouldbe reviewed at a later date" and that "the Chairperson would by the be appointed directly " Vice-Chancellor. A memo was thenreleased by the office of Student Affairs to all Committee members: Robert Lawrence will continue to serve as Chairman of the Reg FeeCommittee. Charges that the new document was written purposely after the issue was broughtup in order to stifle a student Chairperson was hurled at the By now most of you have at least heardof the CommuterStudent program. You may have read about past or upcoming events, but there's a lot more to us than that. Wehave a wide variety of services to offer, including a community referral service, carpoolinformation and rental advice, which we feel can help to make the commuter lifestyle a more enjoyable experience. Our base on campus is located in the Antrap (formerly the TUB), behind Humanities Hall. All six advisors keep regular office hours and are happy to be of any assistance regarding commuter interests or problems. Wehave plans to redecorate theinterior in hopes of creating a comfortable, friendlyatmosphere for studying, playing cards, pool, pinball or chess, or just having lunch, watching a crafts demonstration, and relaxing between classes. A community referral service (CRI: community referral information) is being compiled to be located in the Antrap. The information will include counseling services, legal consultation, rental information, restaurants, and many other types of information. In the future,our main emphasis will be to serveasmuch of the commuter population as possible, not just the students living in the three designated areas of Balboa Island, Newport Peninsula,and Costa Mesa/Santa Ana. If you live a long way from campus, and wish tocarpool or just getto know other UCI students in your area, we can help you from our computer printout of all commuters and their addresses. We encourage all commuters to feel free to attend theactivities being heldin any of the three areas. So look for the dates and times of events as they're advertised, or give one ofus acall to find out that's goingon,or to suggest something you'd like to see done. If you like, bring a friend, or come alone,but any way you do it, you just might meet some interesting people, have a good time, and maybe learn something about careers, landlords,macrame, or whatever! Vice-Chancellor's office. Indeed they were serious accuunbelievable, yet sations, apparently true. It appeared to be another disastrous move by Student Affairs toblock any substantial student participation. ASUCI officials questioned the legitimacy of the new laws, stating that it was written in-between meetings, conflicted with the ASUCI constitution and therefore did not apply. It was glaringly ob: vious to everyone that when the control of the Committee by Student Affairs was threatened, and by its own rules, the rules were simply changed. "We've been working within the system," said one Committee member, who was in favor of a student Chair. "The Committee acted under the original by-laws. Then the laws were changed. If the Administration is giving students a chance to actively participate in important situations, it should not be allowed to withdraw that opportunity to suit its desires." The response from theoffice of Student Affairs is simply that the Committee functions .

Anonymous sourcesreveal at press time that the Committee .might disband and Mr. Hoy would distribute the large sumof moneyby himself. This action may or may not be considered as a result of the currentfuror. Butthis mustnot be allowed to happen. The Reg Committee must be preserved, and with a student majority. It represents student involvement at its best. But there must be proposals that will strengthen students' position, and prevent a blatant disregard for student motions. It is important to realize one thing: despite the rules and laws, despite action and protests from a legitimate, legislative body, and a student majority vote on the Committee itself, Bob Lawrence remains as Chairman of the Committee. He remains as Chairman not by vote, as stated in the rules,nor by consent, but on the orders of one official. Perhaps a compromise could have been made, perhaps there could be a cochairman. But to totally dismiss the situation,change the rules, and ignore legitimate, legal proposals by the student and its representatives, is wrong.

JANUARY 17. 1975 fine arts and entertainment YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN What The Doctor Ordered by Janie Grauman In these depressing days of run-away inflation and 7% unemployment, Hollywood has come up with the solution: Mel Brooks. For about 1/10 of what it would cost to get the advice from your local psychiatrist, Brooks givesus just what the doctor ordered: laughter, and plenty of it. Who else could make a movie entitled "Young Frankenstein" where the monster has a zipper in his neck and wears orthopedic shoes? Who else could have the monster and Dr. Frankenstein, in white tie and tails no less, breakinto "Puttin' on the Ritz?" Who else could have Frankenstein's assistant Igor with a lumpon his shoulder that switches sides? And who else could have Frankenstein ask, ashe steps off a train, "Pardon me boy. is this the TransylvaniaStation?" Mel Brooks is a comic lunatic who never misses a trick in converting ancient jokes and over-used cliches into hilarious entertainment. His accomplishments in this industry range from the SidCaesar shows of the fifties, the longrunning "Get Smart" television series, the "2,000 Year Old Man" records, and films including "The Producers," "The Twelve Chairs," and last year's hilarious comedy "Blazing Saddles." Brooks now returns with "Young Frankenstein" and a few of his "Saddles" stars: the incomparableGene Wilder (who also co-authored the script) as the third-generationFrankenstein, and Madeline Kahn as Wilder's perfectly adorned fiancee. Along with the mad-capperformancesof MartyFeldman, Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle and (surprisingly enough) Gene Hackman, "Frankenstein" promises to outgross "Saddles." which has already brought in close to 25 million world-wide. In this film, we find a more subtle Brooks, a film maker extremely concerned with set design, cinematography, and just enoughof the Boris Karloff terror to be funny. He focuses in on all that is Transylvania: the looming castle atop of the craggy mountain,- the ground fog misting underfoot, the -cobwebbed staircase and then the familiar Brooksianhumor unlit candles to light the way in the ancient castle, and gas burning logs! Mel Brooks is one of only a handful left who is a true craftsman at making us laugh. As far as the film media is concerned, I've never been a fan of sheer escapism because all too often the beauty of the art is sacrificed with the preoccupation of entertaining an audience to a fault. It seemed all that was important to these film-makers was that the audience escape the ugliness of their everyday lives, no matter if the film's aesthetic quality suffered or not. believe Mel With things the way they are today, however,I Brooks' type of escapism is just exactly what we need; the cure-all for most any woe, the precious gift we mustnever lose sight of: our ability to laugh. KUC1 Kosher Bacon Gallery by Lee Goldstein What's a Hatikvah? Well, literally translated it means "the Hope," and also happens to be Israel'snational anthem, in addition to being KUCI's Jewish radio hour, which can be heard every Sunday morning from 11: 00 a.m.until noon. Dr. Howard Lenhoff of UCI's Biology department, who had the original idea for this show, has a very large library of Israeli records which have proved invaluable in producing the show. We also get materials sent from the Israeli consulates in Los Angeles and New York. In future showsI willbeplayingrecordedinterviewsfrom my recent trip to Israel,in addition to interviews with prominent people in the Jewish community. Another feature of Hatikvah is a community calendar of eventsofinterestto the Jewish community in and around UCI. Contributions to this calendar are accepted from anyone and should be sent to Hatikvah c/o KUCI. The Jewish community at UCI has, in the past, been relatively inactive if it existed at all.Hatikvah, along with the growing number of other activities here at UCI, must serve as "the hope" for increased awareness of our Judaism.

This ishow a recentMonday nightkicked off. No, I hadn't been smoking beer cans. Isaw a live laser light show at Griffith Observatory, otherwise known as "Laserium." A number of speakers located in the round provide surround-sound as accompaniment to the light show. The "laserist" operates a krypton gas laser and by using a variety of prisms, mirrors, and filters, creates an infinite number of patterns. Every show differs slightly since the experience is live. The show pleases audiences of all ages: the music ranges from classical to rock, and color is universally pleasant. Themusical selections include work of Billy Preston, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, Respigi, Strauss, Jr., andCorelli. Hula hoops jump through each other and at one point .line images fluctuate between poinsettias and chrysanthemums. Intense rings of undulating color capture the audience. The more interesting visions weren't the oscilliscope patterns though. The most exciting images looked like constantly changing cob- all four colors (red, blue, green, and yellow) It amazed me to see patches of red over blue without making purple. Instead, all four colors co-exist on the screen without becoming muddled. The show emphasizes the bizarre possibilities of laser beams, and though the presentation lacked artistic direction, the phenomenon of pure and unusually intense color stands strongly enough to please the audience. Ivan Dryer, who began fifteen years ago as a guide at the Planetarium, created Laserium. The concept of Laserium stemmed from a demonstration of wow-wee laser images he observed at CalState five years ago. Thefirst production was a four day trial run at the Planetarium over a year ago. The show has drawn full houses twice weekly, four shows a night, since. Laserium began touring the college circuit recently, and will stop by Crawford Hall here next Saturday night at 8 and 10 p.m. Due to the need for clear air, there will be no smoking allowed inside the gym. However smoking before you get there is fine. Tickets at $2.50 for UCI students and $3.00 general admission, will be available at the campus box office, all Liberty and Mutual agencies, and at the door.

KING OF ROCK TURNS FORTY by Lance Robbins It has been twenty years since a hip-shaking, guitar-swinging, pelvis-gyrating hillbilly singer by the name of Elvis Presley burst upon the music scene, creating pandemonium among greasedup. hung-up teenagers and their paranoid parents. The hair in a pompadour cut, long sideburns, curled !ip and the sullen smoulder made Elvis the teenage idol of millions, at the same time paving the way for the rock music of the future. In 1956 there was no trend in music. There was Nat King Cole for adults. Fats Domino for the sound of blues, and the cheeckyclean sound of BillHaley and the Comets to "rock around the clock." The "Pelvis" changed all that. "HeartbreakHotel"hit thecharts and created a wholenewsound: a blend of gospel, rhythm andblues with a touch of country that sent everyone crazy and to the record stores. Soon there was a string of rock 'n rollclassics that carveda niche for Presley in music history; ALL SHOOK UP, LOVE ME TENDER, JAILHOUSE ROCK, and DON'T BE CRUEL. All were millionsellers. He was in a class by himself.The country had never seen anything like him. Ed Sullivan, who swore he would never have that "maniac" on his show, bowed to public demand and bookedElvis for three appearances. But only the people in the audience that night saw the "real" Elvis, the pelvis shaking and the leg making like jello. The millionsof TV watchers saw him only from the waistup, asChurch groupsacross the. country swore that he would create a wave of sexual anxiety among teenagers that would turn the U.S. into a garden of Eden. Newsmenand superstars betthat he would last no more than a few years, they saidhe was a fad that wouldquickly pass. But they were wrong. Not only didhe turn out rock classics that set records in the music industry, but hebegan to pleasethe parents as well.A stintin theArmyin 19591960 calmed the hip-shakingsinger, and turned him into the AllAmerican boy. Unfortunately, he stayed that way for nine years. He made a stringof badmovies notmuchbetter than the "Beach Bikini" movies from the Mickey Mouse club. His last number-one single 'since he retired from public appearances in 1960 was CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, a slow ballad that put him in the Perry Como category. Then, all of a sudden, in 1969. the King was back, appearing on the crest of the waveof nostalgiathat was moving across the country. Wearing a black-leather suit, long-hair and sideburns, creating the "animal, fertility-god"image of the past, Elvis Presley opened at the Las Vegas Hilton to a soldout engagement, packed crowds, and standing ovations.The gutsy continued on page 8 FINE ARTS CALENDAR — — FRIDAY, JANUARY 17 FILM Throne of Blood.

Vellekamp, who was a big winner at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, inherits six returning lettermen. The first-year college mentor will also welcome a fine crop of freshmen and red shirt swimmers. "We'll be competitive in everyevent, except diving and the breast stroke," predicts Vellekamp. "We have more people out this year than in years past, and Ifeel we're ahead of last year's progress." This should mean we should score more points in the NCAA's.UCIfinished fifth last vearinthe nationals, their lowest finish in their nine year history. Irvine has won the NCAA swimming crown three times (1969-70-71). Returning lettermen include three-time All-American Tom Boughey, Boyd Philpot, Guy Antley,Mike Figueroa and Jason Wheaton. The newcomers are USC transfer Mike Nelson and freshman John Bowman. Boughey has won the 1650 freestyle three straight years. Boughey will be out to win it for the fourth time, a feat no one in the college division has ever done before in the 1650. Boughey will also swim the500 free, which hehas wontwice in the NCAA, and the 400 IM. "He'll be our big point getter," says Vellekamp. Boyd Philpot, a junior, will swim the 1650 and the 500 free, and should push Boughey. Philpot finished second in the NCAA last year, in both events. "Boyd is swimming just super," comments Vellekamp, "he has the ability tobe a university-level swimmer." 673-8650 INSURANCE 436 Heliotrope Corona del Mar Tg.

"UC Davis, Chico State, Northridge, and Eastern Illinois will be tough. It will take very strong relays and enough places in individual events to win it. But we'll be there." Anteaters Face 49'ers Look For Pot o' Gold " UCI's high-riding cagers will leave the comfortable confines of Crawford Hall (where they have won eight outof nine games this season) and travel to the spacious Long Beach Arena, Saturdaynight, to face the 49'ers of Long Beach State. The yearly series between the two schools stands at three wins for the Anteaters and five wins for LongBeach. The last time UCI topped the 49'ers was in 1968. In last year's meeting, played at the Anaheim Convention Center,Long Beach belted Irvine 82-58. The game should feature some good player matchups. At center 6'8" Dave Baker (13.6 ppg) will battle 6'8" CarlosMina (13.5 ppg) At one forward 6'6" Bob Grass (15.8 ppg) will battle UCI's 6'6" Jerry Maras (15.1 ppg). At the guard spots, Long Beach should have a definite height advantage as they will start 6'4" Dale Dillion (3.8 ppg) and 6'5 Richard Johnson (16.5 ppg), while UCI will counter with 6'0"Kevin Davis (14.0 ppg) and 6'3" Nate Jones (5.2 ppg). UC Irvine stands 10-2 on the season (notincluding a Thurs- day game with Grand Canyon College), while Long Beach has a 9-4 mark (not including Cal StateLos Angelesgame on Thursday) In the latest NCAA Division IIstatisticsUCIisrated fourth in the nation in field goal percentage (.555) andranked13th in the nation in scoring with a 90.2 point per game mark. "We will definitely be theun'' derdogcome Saturdaynight, said Irvine coach Tim Tift. "We are going to do the best job we can in the game.

JANUARY 17. 1975 People Phone: End Of The Line? by Lavon Giesclman People Phone, the first ongoing, after-hours, student-run line has been closed since fall quarter. Present coordinators Walter Mosauer and Chris Haig say the organizationis in a "period of flux." As they see it. either People Phone must develop a new organizationand staff ordismantle permanently. Haig and other volunteers are "re-evaluatingthe energy they have been putting into PeoplePhone." It hasbeen a fulitime effort for volunteers who try to meet the organizational demands. As Mosauer describes this, "In terms of energy. People Phone must have an equal and continuous group effort working in cohesion: combined of an organizational, body and general phone volunteers." For example, both Mosauer and Haig believe this process could be greatly facilitated by weeklygroupmeetings. A continuous effort of all volunteers is necessary for People Phone to exist. Lately, fragmented energies have lent to organizationalproblems. Regarding past commitment. People Phone enjoyed the close-knit unity in its beginning stages last spring quarter. When the phone entered its operating stages, many problems nose because of lack of group structure. Volunteers were unclear about the time commitment involved to make People Phone a viable service. Manythought it unnecessary to make a commitment, now seen as detrimental to People Phone foundations. IVopleJAone is now calling out lor volunteers interested in the central coordinating body. The prc .ictiytijgJjWrgani/ing sent ff^> is re-evaluating their involvement in the People Phone, but at the same time do not want to see it die. They are willing to share their knowledgeabout training and operation to those who want to help reorganizeit.
