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
