Mr. Henderson,

In your last message regarding mail sorting at university campuses, you state:

>NEWS - For those postmasters who claimed that delivery by USPS direct to
>libraries and other campus locations was "not an option:"
>
>The USPS does indeed make direct deliveries to a number of campuses, sorting
>down to building and/or departmental level thus eliminating the cost of
>campus mailrooms to intercept, hand sort, delay, and finally deliver it
>
  <list of campuses who do and do not have library delivery deleted>

In this instance you refer to the cost of the campus mailroom.  You then
follow this remark by stating:

>Thanks to all who replied to my query. I will probably prepare an article or
>editorial on this waste of library money, so I would welcome comments and
>experiences.

How is delivery to a campus mailroom a waste of library money?  The
university pays the salaries, etc. of the campus mailroom and would reap the
financial benefit, if any, of eliminating the mailroom.
