ARE WE SUPERFICIAL?The stud-ent body has been accused
of being superfIcia!. It is a gravecharge, if a true one. Thig.
d-ecisionwag reached by the diSCussion groupwhich met last Sunday
night to con-sider the question, "'''hat iSi wrongwith Connecticut
College?"'I'he students who attended the m-eel:-
ing claimed that this superficla.1it)!shOWed Itself in several
ways. Itseemg, the fad to be flighty and col-legiate. Girls who
I'ead seriou-s booksfor pleasure are scorned, girls whodo not join
the group going to themovies are co-nsidered Queer, or grinds.The
ca.mpus lack!s serious discussion'i,-not open meeting,-but
wee-hourbedroom discussions on religion andphilosophy. The table
con.versation isa low type, also-nothing 'but gossipand giggles.
The group claims thatmany girls on campus have nothingbut thiS'
shallow nature. Others, inconformity with public opinion,
haveburied their real selves so deep thatthey are lost evenl to
themselves.Has this accusation, a reply? Yes.
First. students may be gay on. campus,raucous between classes,
but are theyalways that way? Serious discussionsare not published
abroad: the next day.but there Is not a "superficial" girl inthis
college who does not stay up lateover a hot argument of college,
nd.-tional or reilgious importance.Then, students are not all of
such
a studiouS' make-up that they can'"spend hours- on lEssons,
outside read-ing papers aOO read' serlouSo booksafterwards, for
pleasure. Upper cla!i'

"IS THE MAIL ALL OUT?""19 the mail a!1l out?" Ffg uratfvely
speaking those "Behind the scenes>" inthe post office- answer
that questionten thousand umes during «he hourfrom eight to nine in
the morning, sixdays in the week. Or, more Jntre-quentf y. "Can I
mal! a laundry case?"And when the answer comes back "Notuntil the
mail is all out" a sigh isusually heard and ver-y often enutter
-tnas that su~est a little grumbling.For the benefit and
en'iightenment of
all students then, ts this article writ-len. 'l'he ,post orttce
has three prin-ctcres which every individual on theforce tries to-
dive up .to-i-Prornotness,Politene..ss, and Patience. The last
twoare \'eI'Y s tr-cmg-ly taxed when one isdoing one's best to get
att the mailout and in the right IOOxes by "8.50 andis continually
having to- answer thequestion "Is the mail all out?" It isn'tthat
we mind arrswerf ng any questions-it's airmply that every time we
have toanswer a question, the mail Is jus-t alittle bit longer in
being distributed.Our purpose Is to serve the students
to the best of our a!bHity and it is inorder that people may
have their mailas prom.ptly as !possibl·e that we can-not mail
packages until' after the mailis all {)ut.And then, one more
thing-no doubt
some people have t'hought that whenthe post o'ffice door is shut
rather vio-lently, it is being slammedl in' theirfaces. Far from
it-the c100r is a very,very peculiar door. It S1ilm-plyTeEusesto
shut unless it is slammed an.dslamm-ed hard. So' don't be insu'ited
ifthe door seems to be shut in YOU!'face.·With these facts in mind,
in order
that there might be no more misun-d'erstandings on the part of
students asreogn.l'ds post office hours, rules, -etc.,p,lease
o'bsel've the following:
1. 'l'he ,post offic.e- is open to sailstamps, envelopes, etc.,
and to tak-epackag·e-s u.ntil the mali' comes in(usually aibout
8.105). If the windowis shut, you know the mail has' comeand is
being
