S. K.; Bill Bochman, Vivian Morse, G. M. Howe, Jr., for Blue Key. The tentative hours which have been set for deliverance of Sunday mail are p. m. to 3:30 p. in. These hours were set by the University officials so as not to interfere with church services. Several N. Y. A. students who are already acquainted with the post of fice department will act in the sorting and delivering of mail. This plan was adopted by both Blue Key and K. S. K. after it was dis covered that the establishment of a lo cal sub-station would not be practical. The plan adopted by the leadership fraternities and approved by Univer sity officials is as follows: In accordance with its alleged pur pose and object to be of maximum ser vice to the University of South Caro lina and its students, South Carolina chapter of Blue Key and K. S. K. pro pose and submit the following plan for the procreation of Sunday mail service on the campus: 1. That Blue Key and K. S. K. have received the cooperation of the Colum bia post office in sorting first class University mail to be handed to stu dent representatives of the campus post office, in a sealed bag. 2. That, under the strict supervision of the local Blue Key chapter and K. S. K. University officials and with the aid of those Carolina students em ployed under the N. Y.

Since it was a holiday, I thought it possible that there would be a general exodus from the campus. If our stu dents had absented themselves that day, I would not have critized them They deserve all the holidays they get. Instead, they did the University and its president the great honor of partici pating fully in the inauguration.
