call box

For my second post I wanted to highlight the merits of the design of the new call box installed outside of sigma phi.
 The greatest aspect of this design is its simplicity. This design is an improvement on the old call box which had a telephone that had to be placed against your ear to place a call. This new box provides a simple dial pad to make calls and a call button to place the call after dialing. Also along with the auditory affirmination that would be recieved from making a call there is also a visual aid located next to the red help button which will blink red when a call is recieved.
But the greatest feature of this design is the big red help button. It is quite obvious what this button does and how it is used. By having this button it cuts out all the time necessary to make a call and in the case of an actual emergency this is highly helpful.

  1. What about the utter lack of privacy though? One might prefer an option to use a handset that you put to your ear so that only you can hear your conversation.
