As you may have heard, the College is getting ready to install a new campus-wide telephone and voicemail system. [...]::hates on Smith College (in a relatively mild manner, but still) :: Yes, usage is declining as many people get cell phones, but not all of us have cell phones. *stabs* 'S not like i call home much anyway, though, so it's nearly a non-issue. I would be more pissed if it were happening earlier than my last semester here.
We will also be changing the way students are billed for telephone services. Starting in January, students willl no longer pay a monthly charge for telephone service. Instead, telephone service, including voicemail and local calling, will be included in the room and board fee beginning in Fall 2005. No increased cost for this service will be included in the spring bill.
Because of declinging usage, the long distance billing program is being discontinued as of December 27, 2004. Students will still be able to use pre-paid cards and calling carrds to place long distance and international calls.

I now have lots of hot new icons and omgliekwhoa i hit my 50 (even deleted some pre-existing ones to make room). Never thought that would happen. I'd been wanting new icons and feeling like the pre-existing ones weren't adequate (not that i don't have much love for many of them, was just feeling like i needed more) so now i feel much better. I also posted much pretty to
