6 —The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 4, 1985 PUC will allow Bell to up dial tone rates By ROD SNYDER Associated Press Writer HARRISBURG The Public Utili ty Commission indicated Thursday that it would allow Bell of Pennsylva nia to increase the cost of local dial tone service for residential and busi ness telephone customers. The PUC, in a non-binding poll, appeared to agree with Bell’s argu ment that the cost of “dial-tone” service should be raised to more accurately reflect the cost of provid ing the service. A PUC spokesman said the dial tone charge is only for hooking into the telephone system and doesn’t include the cost of making calls. “The PUC rightly recognizes the need to increase dial-tone line rates,” said Bell Vice President James Bren neman. “But even with this increase, the price customers pay will be far below what it costs us to provide the service.” It could not be immediately deter mined how much the local dial tone rate would'increase from the present $3.71. The commission is scheduled to vote on the rate case Oct. 17. The indication came in a poll in appalachian outdoors Everything to Get You on the Slopes.

The poll will be used to let the PUC staff draft an order reflect ing the majority view of the commis sion. Last week, the commissioners polled on other issues in the case. Preliminary estimates show they will allow only a total increase of between $2B million to $35 million, according to staff members. The PUC also said Thursday that it would likely reject Bell’s proposal to charge those customers without un limited calling service by the length of their calls. “It is clear that the PUC has denied timing for local calls, and this is disappointing,” said Brenneman. “It is clear to us that those who make the most use of the public telephone net work ought to bear more of the cost of the network.” The commission also indicated it would lift a restriction, imposed in Bell’s last rate case, that prohibited new customers from having two-par ty lines and old customers from switching to party lines. © 1985 AT&T Communications Commission allows mail-order drugs for aged By MAUD S. BEELMAN Associated Press Writer HARRISBURG The state’s regulatory review commission yesterday cleared the way for elderly people to receive mail-order prescription drugs as part of Pennsylvania’s low-cost medical program for the aged. After two hours of hearings on whether the rules were intended to apply to local and mail-order pharmacies equally, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission unanimously approved the expansion of the Pharmaceutical Assistance Con tract for the Elderly. F. Nicholas Willard, director of the American Association of Retired* Persons’ pharmacy serv ice, said the regulations put a burden on mail order pharmacies that was not shared by local pharmacies doing over-the-counter business.

Commissioners rejected arguments that all pharmacies in the PACE program were covered by mail-order regulations. But McGinley sug gested that the Department of Aging review its policies regarding local pharmacies to see if they could benefit from some of the mail-order regula tions. Rep. Peter Wambach, D-Dauphin, a member of the House Consumer Affairs committee, said lawmakers wanted to place the same burden of patient verification and history on local pharma cies that also do a mail-order business.

All PACE pharmacies, regardless of the method of delivery, must identify patients through a signed Universal Claim Form. Aside from the patient history file, the only other major difference was that mail-orders were re quired to fill prescriptions within 48 hours of the order, she said. “So I really can’t understand why there’s such a disagreement about delivery,” Smith said. “I think Mr. Willard is hung up on a matter of principle. They just don’t like the distinctions that are being drawn." Smith disputed that it was burdensome to re quire mail-order pharmacies to maintain patient histories, saying “that’s the state of the art” in the mail-order industry, as was the 48-hour turn around time. She said the histories were necessary to make up for the “deficit” of no personal contact between the pharmacist and patient. nuclear test Bernard Gerard, France’s high commission for French Polynesia, said the navy would intervene if nec essary to keep the protesters away from the testing site.

Col. 3:15 Concorde swoops into Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) A nee dle-nosed Concorde landed in Phila delphia International Airport for the first time yesterday, amid hopes by officials that the supersonic airliner will begin making stops at least an nually. The 9-year-old plane, which can fly at twice the speed of sound, arrived from London in wind and drizzle as part of British Airways’ charter ar rangement with Cunard Line Ltd. The plane drew dozens of specta tors to the overseas terminal, and British Airways obliged them with peeks inside the sleek, white plane with blue and red trim. Some of the 100 passengers will return to London by sea aboard the Queen Elizabeth II luxury liner. Another Concorde flight will arrive in November as part of the Concorde- QE 2 package, Cunard spokeswoman Dale McCullough said. Cunard hopes to begin scheduling one or two such charters each year between Philadel phia and London, she said. Yesterday’s visit was the first Con corde stop here since commercial Concorde travel began in January 1976. After the Concorde landed, nose high and its long, fin-like wings seem ingly sweeping the runway, a man dressed as the Phillie Phanatic, mas cot to Philadelphia’s major-league baseball team, bounded down steps from the plane. A technological marvel that took years to become profitable for British Airways and Air France, each of which owns seven Concordes, the plang'makes twice-daily trans-Atlan tic trips to New York and three trips each week to Washington and Miami. Passengers pay extra for the speed, with a usual fare of about $2,503 one way from New York to London, com pared with $1,988 in first class on other British Airways flights. One fellow who is sold on the Con corde is the pilot who took it out of Philadelphia. Capt. John Hutchinson said he has flown about 70 different kinds of planes in 30 years and puts the Concorde at the top. Passengers can sip their cham pagne or gin and tonic traveling 1,350 mph at 35,000 feet, he said, and see "nothing but a ripple on the surface of their drink.” v°un! u !iu WE NEED MORE OF YOUR TYPE.
