CHARGES LEVIED FOR LOCAL CALLS Effective November 1, 1985, a charge will be levied by the telephone company for all local calls originating from businesses, including the Station. During regular working hours, these charges are 7.9 cents for the first five minutes and 1.0 cent for each additional minute. Reduced charges do occur on holidays, weekends, and in the evening and at night. Most of you probably saw the article in the newspaper the other night about the instigation of these charges for local businesses. We did want to advise you that the Station is not exempt. Obviously, it has been customary in the past for employees to make a certain number of personal calls during business hours. With charges now being levied for all local calls, it is imperative that employees keep personal telephone calls to an absolute minimum. Departments will be provided with a detailed printout from the computer at the beginning of each month listing the previous month's telephone calls and their costs. This will be used as the basis for charging departments for calls and for departments to allocate these charges internally if they so choose. Your cooperation in minimizing personal calls will be greatly appreciated. R. E. Krauss Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture.

It is a very easy matter to divide and separate the parts of ft baked fowl, bat it is another matter to do it easily and ele­ gantly. •. , 2. Every man and woman, boy and girl, should be familiar With.the art of carving. . ' - :' 3. A good skillful carver places the fork in the fow l as shown ftbove, and does not remove it until the whole is divided. 4. First cut off the leg and wing on one side and then shave off the breast in nice thin slices. Then turn the bird and cu t the other side in the same manner. ~ 5. Never rise from your seat while carving. 6. To bit the joints while carving and separating the w ings and legs, the bird should be thoroughly studied before cooked, and the lesson learned as to the location of the joints, after which no trouble will ever be experienced in separating any of the joints or parts in the fowl. 7. In a turkey the thigh should be separated into three por­ tions; one with the bone, and two without, and a piece of this, w ith a slice from the breast, w ill be sufficient fo. one person, unless it is known that they do not prefer any of the parts thus separated. 8. The wing may be divided In a similar way, unless prefer­ ence is otherwise expressed. - - 9. Always lay the pieces with skin side up and add a spoon­ ful of stuffing. •i COMPUTER NEWS A special telephone line for use with modems has been established for sending and receiving data at 1200 baud speeds or higher.
