The group referred this proposal to Chancel lor Hunter for further study at the last meeting, January 25. The suggested raise, from $10 to $12 per term, came from the board’s finance committee.

New Postal La w Changes Mails Students of the University, who send their laundry home and find that it is frequently delayed, are actually themselves to blame, according- to an announcement made Monday by Frank L. Armt tage, Eugene postmaster. The delay is caused because* students or their parents havo failed to remove cancelled stamps from the postage cards. Such stamps must be removed, even if the cards are reversed, since the recent enactment of a postal law. Neglect of this kind usually causes a one-day delay, Mr. Ar~ mitage says. He advises Etun i dents to inform their parents to conform.
