RENOVATIONS: Before repainting or renovating his study, each student must consult with Josef Albers.
STORE: The College Cooperative Store will be open daily for twenty minutes after lunch and after dinner.
TELEGRAMS: All telegrams should be sent through the College office The telegraph company has been instructed to charge telegrams on the College account only when they are sent by members of the Office Staff.
The Black Mountain telegraph office is open from 9:00 AM to 5:20 PM during week days, and from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM and from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Sundays. Telegrams sent at any other time must go through Asheville and there is a long distance charge for telephoning Asheville; therefore, it is suggested that students and teachers send telegrams during the above hours.
TELEPHONE: The telephone on the porch of the Dining Hall is an extension of the College’s private branch exchange, the switchboard of which is in the College office. The two other extensions are in the office and in the library.
Lifting the receiver of the telephone on the porch makes a connection with the office, where a record is kept of all calls. The caller will please tell the office his name and the place and number he wishes to call. The office will then connect you with the number desired. Sometimes the Dining Hall phone is connected directly to an outside line. In such a case, the caller will hear the dial tone. He will proceed as follows:
If he is calling:
Black Mountain, he should dial the number he wants.
Asheville, or Long Distance, he should dial “Operator” and place his call with her, requesting charges when giving number.
He should be sure to make a record of his call on one of the mimeographed slips, kept for that purpose in the mail box marked “office.” When the operator calls back in a few minutes, be sure to fill in the amount on the slip. Slips should also be made out for any collect calls or telegrams received.
In order to facilitate bookkeeping, a called is urged to make calls and send telegrams during office hours. The caller is requested to ask anyone from whom he is expecting a call to place it during office hours or before 9:00 o’clock at night.
Telephone charges: (including tax)
Black Mountain 6c
Asheville (for the first five minutes, station to station) 17c
Asheville (for the first three minutes, person to person) 30c
Students and teachers are urged to answer the Dining Hall phone when they hear it ringing.
TESTS: Each entering student will be given a placement test in English and a placement test in mathematics some time next week.

VALUABLES: The College will not be responsible for valuables left in the dormitory rooms or the studies.
IMPORTANT: Students and teachers are urged to be careful about fire:
Do not flick cigarette butts out of windows upon the drying grass and dry leaves. Do not drop them into waste paper baskets.
