oh anchoralumna, you really brought back memories.
no one had phones in their rooms during my time-it just never dawned on us. there was a phone on the 3rd floor landing, one on the 2nd and of course, the phone/mail room, where phone duty was carried out. we had 2 or 3 lines-i can't remember.
pledges had to serve as door monitor/phone answerer from 5 to 7 on a rotation basis(because they did not live in the house) and "actives" manned the phone room and answered the door from 7 to 11. executive officers did not hold phone duty. somehow, we all managed to make and receive phone calls with minimal problems, and it was always exciting when the intercom buzzed and the voice from downstairs said, "fsuzeta, you have a call on line
1."
