Dial Direct!!!

Putting in Direct In Dial numbers to most
departments was an attempt to cut down on the load
on the switchboard and allow callers to get through
faster. Unfortunately, among those who won't use
the new numbers Cap College people are just about
the worst offenders—we always call 986-1911
because we’ve got that number memorized.

Hence, there has been printed up a handy little
directory of Frequently Called Direct In Dial Numbers
that will be distributed to all College employees so
that you can carry it around with you or take it home.
Lynne Hamilton gets credit for this intelligent idea,
Jessie McCready and Pauline Clark on the
Switchboard came up with the list, and Linda Givens
did the printing. Extra copies will be available
through the Public Relations department.
