TELECOMMUNICATIONS. Deregulation has hatched a gaggle of new players in this industry, once the undisputed domain of A T & T. More than 100 companies now compete with A T & T's Western Electric in manufacturing a vast new array of telephones, from the basic black model to designer styles and gimmicks like the Pac-Man special. Opportunities for growth-and disaster-abound. Technicom International, a young Darien, Conn., company that sells residential phones and small-business communications systems, captured revenues of $43 million in its first full year.

Your distressing account of Monday last, "Band's New Guidelines to Cut Vulgarity and in Jokes," has arrived on this distant shore. As one of the aging alumni putatively beneficiaries of the Dean's intrusion into the domain of free expression--and as one who two decades ago played in Schneider's Band and formulated a show routine or two, when not otherwise pulling oars--let me urge the Dean's restraint on prior restraint...
