Spirits of '76 Dampened by Regulations of '08

"Kag-parties," the d r i n k i n g
vogue of the early twentieth cen-
tury, produced the first in a series1
of University drinking regulations.
The parties, which involved con-
sumption of large quantities of
lager, came to the attention of
the Faculty Senate in June, 1908.
The practice of student organiza-
tions meeting "in rooms or halls
attached to or connected with sa-
loons" was condemned and stu-
dents connected with it subject to
disciplinary action.

Public intoxication was viewed by

But as in the present circum-

thought to be sound, enforcement

In its place was to be substitut-

failed. Joint Judiciary Council at-

RACKING UP-Neither snow nor sleet prevents University students from riding their bicycles or
parking them in front of the Undergraduate Library. To alleviate the situation, the Student Gox-
ernment Council has been conducting a campaign to persuade peddling students to use the adjacent
bicycle racks. Hundreds of empty spaces stand only 50 feet from the front of the Library.

Pete McCullough (center) discusses requirements for new
telephone equipment with Traffic and Plant Managers.

Success story-with a moral to it

s
"

Robert G. "Pete" McCullough got his
Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia
in June, 1953. In September, he took
a job selling for a manufacturing firm.
He was hurriedly trained-and, after
23,000 miles on the road, decided he
wasn't fully using his capabilities.
He resigned and contacted his college
Placement Office. Interviews with a
host of firms followed. Pete chose the
New York Telephone Company.
That was April, 1954. He spent the
next 13 months training-getting basic
experience as installer, repairman,
frameman, staff assistant, etc. He was
then appointed Service Foreman.
In January, 1957, he moved over to
the business side of the company. In
May, 1957, he became a supervisor. In
January, 1958, he managed a business

office serving 25,000 customers, with 42
people reporting to him.
In October, 1958, Pete was promoted
again-to District Commercial Mana-
ger. Reporting to him now are two
business office managers, nine super-
visors and 54 service representatives
and clerical personnel. There are 64,000
customers in the territory he heads up.
That's Pete's story-up to now. Fu-
ture promotions depend on him. Op-
portunities are practically unlimited in
the Bell Telephone Companies for Pete
and many young men like him.
Moral: The most capable of men
need good training and honest pro-
motion opportunities to move ahead as
they should. Shop carefully for your
career. And be sure to talk to the Bell
interviewer when he visitsyour campus.
