  Telephone Ad Hoc Committee was an executive committee formed by the President of the College. I co-chaired with the VP of Student Life. The purpose of the committee was to do all the leg-work involved in submitting a proposal to the Executive Board for putting telephones in the student's dormatory rooms. Work included questionnaires to the community concerning desire, willingness to pay, etc. as well as finding out from other Colleges in the Christian Consortium what they are offering, their processes, administrative costs, etc. Once all the leg-work was done, we then presented a proposal to the Executive Board, which they accepted and implemented the following summer.
