Pablo Just Grins When He's Kidded
Smallest member of the University building and grounds force—that's the distinction of Pablo Mendoza, 735 Pennsylvania street.
A familiar person to every student, Mr. Mendoba towers almost 4 feet 11 inches above the campus on which he works. Asked if he killed him about his size, he grinned and said, "Yes, but I'm used to it."
An employee of the University for the past six years, he came to the United States when he was 22 from Guanaguarto, Mexico. Mr. Mendoza said his greatest difficulty was to learn to speak the English language Self-taught, he learned it in about two years.
"It is a lot harder to learn than Spanish," he said with a grin.

KU Postmaster Completes 30 Years In Mail Service
China, Siam, and the Belgian Congo are as close to Lawrence as the lick of a stamp to B. E. McKee, campus post office clerk, who at Christmas time rounded out his 30th year of post office work.
"When I left the service after World War I, there weren't many jobs available. After looking over the field, I learned that in the postal service I could earn double that of any other job." Mr. McKee said
Working while he attended school,
Mr. McKee was graduated from K.U.
with a bachelor's degree in economics in 1923.
"People don't realize it, but we have to study constantly." Mr. McKee remarked. Besides owning several books on postal regulations, the office receives two bulletins weekly from the federal government, notifying workers of changes in rules. These, Mr. McKee explained, are learned by postal workers as carefully as a student preparing for a quiz.
Tall, slow-spoken Mr. McKee remembers when the campus post office was opened 26 years ago. It remained situated in Fraser hall for two years, then was moved to its
present location in the basement of Frank Strong hall. Today, the office employs two clerks and three carriers, who serve not only the university but also residential districts surrounding it.
Commenting on the long lines jammed in front of windows, Mr McKee said that although the holiday season accelerated business, the office is busy continually.
