Midnight Oil Causes Special Mail Service By ROGER CO AD Battalion Staff Writer Lots of Aggies burn the mid night oil, and part of this burning •prompted the Memorial Student Center house group to set up a ,.late mail service. _ There were once several mail boxes at different places on the campus for students to use late at night, but sometimes the student in charg-e of collecting from these boxes would leave for home on weekends and the mail would just sit for a few days. ^ Many people complained to the U. S. post office department—who actually had very little to do with this campus mail—and the service was discontinued. For several years there was no midnight mail service. Then some one in the house group of the M,SC suggested that seme sort of mail service be set up. The result was the present mail box in the main lobby of the MSC. “A tremendous amount of mail has been pouring into the mail box at night,” said Dick McGlaun, head of the house group. The count runs between 300-1,500 per day, with an average of about 900 letters a day. .'irt CIGARETTES ODERN SIZE FILTER TIP TAREYTON gives you true tobacco taste... is smooth and easy-drawing!
