Even though smoke signals have gone up to fifteen cents. What is now the State University postal system was established during the mid 20 s to give campus students an advantage in sending and receiving mail. There now are approximately 2,300 post office boxes and drawers. Each year every post office box is sold and each drawer is issued to the different colleges and divisions. According to postal officials approximately 500 to 1500 pieces of mail are transacted through the post office daily. Employ- ees work diligently to put mail as quickly as possible into the boxes.
