  Dear YIPL,
    In issue no. 15 the "T" network doss not work
    for the Southern New ~ngland Bell Co. system
    because coin return etc. still works with ouly red
    and qreen wires, even when yellow is cut. (there
    is no black for S. N. E. T. )
    Collect rn11s are accepted always at a certain pay
    phone in a dorm. Could this mean that it is being
    tapped7 I! so, how can I tell? Is there any
    way that I still can work the "T" network?

    In cartain places the pay phone uses a ground
    wire seperate from the pone line cable. Look
    for a wire to a nearby pipe, or to an electric
    fixture plate. Otherwise, try reversing the po-
    ~rity of the red and ~reen wires, this sho~d
    reverse all collect and return siguals.
    
    Pay phones that don't start with 99 or 98 in
    the last four digits are good ~cargets for collect
    calls. Operators us~y don't accept c.~us to
    most pay phones because they reco~nize the #.
    Sirs,
    In w~iting to recieve your publications my
    sole ~nterest was in gaining knowledge about
    electrical systems. Yet, upon recieving some
    back issues (ordered 11772) I have found the
    political motivation of your organization tot~y
    contrary to my own. My interests certainly do
    not lie in "ripping offt' the Bell system. Eventual
    reform in soc~ety must come from more concrete
    and benefical works (this being the primary idea
    ~hind my involvement witb UNICEE).
    Because of the misunderstand~ng ~nitiating our
    contact, I must der~l~na tbat 3 further commun-
    ic~tions cease unwediately. -D. C. -N. Y.

    ~YIPL has determined, after exhaustive testing, that ~e
    economy has taken a turn t~ward heaven, thus temptin<;
    us to raise our prices. Of course, we wouldn't thinls of
    doing that to you, our money-drsined devotees. So we
    decided that the only way to keep YlPL's price down is
    to increase circulation immediatelY. That me~ns ei~er
    every YIPL has to sign up one friend, or a {ew YIPLs
    have to sign up severtl1 friends. You people are taldng
    part in the ~reatest man vs. machine drama ever to
    unfold in the history o! civilization, and you r~n help
    to ma~e it a lot of ~n, so help out, O. K ~ Don't for-
    get that the more people we have, the more we have
    to intimidate Bell wi~h, the more information we get
    to use and people to use it, and the more people who
    will save money on expensive ~lls ~ng to loved

    Dear Friends,
    
    Just finished reading "Happiness is a E31ue Box"
    in the YiDster Times and al~ I can say is here
    is my 2 dollars for the YIPL
    
    Off the subject of phones, ~pe recorders
    can be a power~l tool in ch~lenging your
    construct of the world and to understand
    how words manipulate (which can be used to ^ --
    advantage). Tape recorders c~n be used for
    social change. For fairly extensive e~cperimer
    with the tape recorder, read "THE JOB" by
    William Burrougs {Naked Lunch) published by
    Grove Press. Or~ly in hardcover to the best of my
    ~owledge, bot some librar~es ha~re it. Read
    1'THE JOB'' if at all possible-most exciting book
    I b~ve come across in many a year.
