Postmen Ponder Problems;
Present Postal Procedures
By NANCY KLING
"Neither snow, nor rain, nor
gloom of night," nor even Uni
versity students can stop the
mail of the State College Post
Dffice. But sometimes they can
foul up things pretty badly.
Since letter writing first began
on clay tablets some 4000 years
ago in Babylon, postal employees
have had their problems—prob
ably the same ones State College
officials face daily.
One of the objeits closest to
the hearts of mos students is
that of mailing lat r

Hoy. Nor is it done on purpose,
says Leonard Work, assistant
superintendent of mails. He
tells of a student who entered
the post office in a fit of rage
over his damaged laundry box
and demanded to see the super
intendent. Upon seeing him, the
student asked. "Who runs the
crusher in here?"
In shipping, the boxes are
placed in bags with about 100
other boxes. It is in handling that
the laundry boxes become dam
aged, especially if yours is at the
bottom.
Hoy suggests that students
mail their boxes full instead of
only half full. They will thus
withstand better the weight of
other boxes.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Council To
Urge Safety
Measures
The College Area Safety Coun
cil will ask State College officials
to correct safety hazards at the
intersections of South Pugh Street
and East College Avenue, Easter
ly Parkway and South Atherton
Street and areas without side
walks.
A letter to be given to Ned C.
Cummings, head of the Borough
Council traffic committee, will
request additional crosswalk
markings at the South Pugh
Street and East College Avenue
intersection The letter will ask
that a policeman be installed at
the corner during rush hours,
This intersection was labeled
"dangerous" and the possible site
of a "bad accident."
The Easterly Parkway - South
Atherton Street intersection was
reported a hazardous area to
school children, who must cross
it at least twice on school days.
The letter will ask that the bor
ough investigate the possibility
of installing a pedestrian-walk
light.
The safety council will also ask
that residents of areas without
sidewalks be urged to provide
temporary facilities until perma
nent sidewalks can be installed
in front of their homes. The
council would like the sidewalk
installation to be on a voluntary
basis,
number or name of hall are
sent to Old Main where the stu
dent directory is used to locate
the full address.
The post office officials have a
plan in mind concerning the new
early morning pickup for outside
mail boxes which was begun a
few weeks ago to speed up de
livery. When letters are deposited
in the mail chutes of the dormi
tories at night, they are picked
up at 8 a.m. the next day and
usually aren't sent out until noon.
To speed up mail service and
allow for quicker delivery, the
post office would like to have
a system set up so that letters
could be gathered in the girls'
dormitories each night at a cer
tain hour and then taken to an
outside box and deposited,
Work said that a student could
he appointed or perhaps a dormi
tory hostess could take the letters
to an outside box. This system
would mean that the letters would
get out earlier and would be re
ceived the next day.
Hoy said that the University
Park substation, under direc
tion of the State College post
office, handles only outgoing
mail, registered lett e r s and
COD packages. The substation
does not process any mail, as
this is all done by the State
College office.
Work said that student mail
makes up 95 per cent of the post
office's business.

versity ever decides to gamble
on our maturity.
But all this is only partly the
fault of the University Much
of it is our own doing. We wal
low in our cynicism (a pseudo
maturity, if you will) and turn
down any chance at all to fight
for greater adult freedoms.
I refer, of course to the great
blob of apathetic students who
would rather joke about stu
dent government than to try
to make it an instrument for
getting what students want.
Why should the administra
tion take student .government
seriously when the students
don't?
So because we can't get our
fire up and because the Uni
versity wants to mother us,
we seniors are going to be cast
out into the street in a some
what naked condition, our
growth having been suspended
during a four-year educational
feast.
