Okay, Okay, carnation's retro rush thread (ie, how not to do recruitment)

We used a STAN card to make long distance cards. All the rooms in my dorm had phones.

It stands for Wide Area Telephone Service. Basically, whoever wanted to use the phone split the cost of having it. We could call anywhere in Mississippi, so we didn't have long distance charges to worry about.

Of course, the out-of-state members wouldn't be required to sign up unless they had family or friends in Mississippi they wanted to call.

I didn't have one at school, but I did have the benefit of using a WATS line through my father's work. It was kind of like an 800 number that you would dial, then you would input the long distance number that you wanted to call. It was wonderful because you never had to watch the clock when you talked long distance.
