Shelly J. Coston
On Wednesday, April 22, the
residents of Player Hall presented
Mrs. Earlene Scott with a plaque
for her services during the 1980-
81 academic year. Darlene Brooks,
vice president of Player Hall,
presented the award.
Mrs. Scott has been with Ben
nett College for three and a half
years and serves as the house
keeper in Player Hall. She is orig
inally from Andrews, S. C. and
has lived in North Carolina for
fifteen years. Mrs. Scott has five
children and is the sister-in-law
of Mrs. Henryhand, a security
guard here at Bennett.
Mrs. Scott has impressed those
who know her as being a quiet,
hard working individual. “In most
custodian positions the employees
don’t really apply themselves, but
Mrs. Scott is efficient and takes
the time to talk with us even
thougih she may be busy,” says
Rosalyn Scott. “Mrs. Scott is a
very nice person and always does
a good job, especially when com
pared to the housekeepers in some
of the other dorms,” says Veta J
Covert, another Player Hall res
ident. Ms. Johnson, the dorm di
rector for Player Hall, shares the
same views. “Mrs. Scott is very
nice, quiet and cooperative and
never complains or refuses to help.
Thanks to her we have one of the
cleaner dorms on campus,” she
says.
“The girls are very cooperative
in helping me keep the building
clean,” says Mrs. Scott. “I would
like to thank them for giving me
this honor.” she adds.
Postal Problems
“My letter is not up yet! What
are those women in the post office
doing with my letter?”
The Bennett College post office
window opens at 8:30 a.m. The
window stays open for business
until the mail arrives. When the
mail arrives, the window closes
untill all first class mail is up.
Mary Kirkpatrick, who is the post
mistress, said, “I find this very
disturbing when there are inter
ruptions at the door or window
while we are working to put the
mail up.”
The mail comes in once a day
from the post office. Special de
liveries arrive anytime during the
day. United Parcel Service pack
ages come in the afternoon, while
campus mail is dropped in all day.
When these packages arrive in
the post office a notice is put in
your mailbox. Kirkpatrick said,
“We get your mail to you as soon
as possible.”
The post office at Bennett Col
lege serves six hundred students
plus faculty and staff. Kirkpatrick
said, “Mailboxes should be opened
by students. Students should not
ask for their mail to be handed
to them.”
Rent fee for the mailbox is one
dollar per year. The rent fee is
paid on a yearly basis. The result
of not paying the rent fee includes
holding the mail, sending the mail
back to sender, or taking the mail
box away.
Gerald Nzeribe, Melissa Mitchell
and Tomasina Wilson are work
study students who work in the
post office. Wilson said, “I enjoy
working at the post office, even
though it gets hectic when there
is a lot of mail in. The students
are just a little too anxious about
getting their mail.”
The B'ennett College post office
buys stamps every day according
to how much money there is after
operation costs are paid. There is
no profit made in the post office
by the selling of stamps and post
cards. The post office pays the
retail price of stamps and post
cards.
Cash should not be sent throug,h
the mail. Kirkpatrick said, “Money
sent through the mail should be
in the form of a check or money
order.”
The women in the post office
work hard at putting the mail up
efficiently. Belles, be patient with
the mail service. If a letter is late,
do not immediately blame the
women in the post office. A lost
letter or package could be any
where between destinations.
Do not go and give the women
in the post office a piece of your
mind about your unarrived letter
or package. Use that piece of mind
to study for a test.
