MID-YEAR RUSH GETS POST OFFICE COMING AND GOING

"Tutoring school notes may help the undergraduates, but they make a lot of extra work for the Post Office," said Mr. Arthur Stevens of the Cambridge office to a CRIMSON reporter in a through-the-bars interview at the stamp window yesterday. "Over 20,000 postal cards were used during the mid-years," he continued, "for the purpose of advertising printed notes to Harvard students, and I don't know how many letters besides.

"We have another rush--from men who want postals to put in their examination books. From some of the marks I have noticed on them, I don't see why there is such a hurry to get the returns. However, we usually sell about 2000 extra cards in the mid-year period."

When questioned as to the truth of the charge that some sectionmen take these postals to the office and redeem the, Mr. Stevens was not willing to say that the habit was prevelant, although he did admit that it had been done in few cases.
