A classified post office will be established on the Unviersity campus if and when approval is given by the first assistant postmaster general in Washington, D.C. Ethan L. Newman, acting Eugene postmaster reported Tuesday that negoitiations between the University and local post office were completed more than a month ago.
Newman said the request has been in Washington for almost a month. The post office department will notify the University and Eugene post office when it decides whether sufficient funds can be granted.
Directly across from the journalism building on University street (sic) has been selected as a tentative site for the office, which will be a classified substation. If approved, it will serve the general public and University students.
The Eugene postmaster said carriers will report to the campus office if it is established. It will handle parcel post, money orders, stamps and take care of all the regular postal duties.
“The University has been very cooperative in regard to negotiations for the postoffice (sic),” according to Postmaster Newman.
