Telephone Terror?

The North Dakota State College of Science faces a $46,897 phone bill in a case involving a former men's basketball player accused of using a school-issued calling card for unauthorized calls.

Touhomi Ghazoul, 20, a native of Algeria, is charged with felony theft. The official charges allege that he made ``more than $10,000'' in domestic and international calls.

The Forum said it found new details on the case through an open records request. The college is in a dispute with long-distance carrier AT&T over who should pay the bill.

Science was notified of exceptionally high charges on Sept. 10. The school deactivated its nine school phone cards on Sept. 28, the Forum said.
