idea of bringing the ballot box
and the voter closer together.
Voting by mail is an idea whose time has
come. In December, the State of Oregon held
the nation's first statewide vote-by-mail con-
gressional primary election. And, it has been
used since 1977 for local issues and elections.

Wille officially submitted her res-
ignation to college athletic director
Don Childs in late December.
Childs will assume interim head
coaching duties and be assisted by
long-time Alvin Youth Softball
coach Ken Delcambre for the 1996
season, which starts Feb. 3, with
the search for a new head coach
While initially shocked at their
head coach’s departure, several Lady
Dolphins' players were also glad to
see Wille move up in the coaching
ranks.
“She called each player up indi-

Christmas holidays and told us

Your mailbox could become
a ballot-box.
In every case, the same good things happened.
Election costs can be as much as $1 million lower,
because there are no polling personnel to pay, no space to
rent, no polling equipment to tr nsport and set up.
It's secure and reliable, with no evidence of fraud,
ballot-tampering or undue influence in fourteen years of use.
Signatures on mailed ballots arc checked against each voter's
registration signature, a double envelope keeps the ballot
secret, and, of course, all the criminal penalties for mail fraud
and tampering apply to mailed ballots.
Voting hy mail also increases voter participation—it
broke all records in Oregon. It gives voters plenty of time to
make a decision. It eliminates waiting in line to vote, and the
problems that keep people away from the polling place, such
as bad weather, age or physical handicaps. Voter participation
has topped 900/0 in some contests.
Such results are gratifying to us at the U.S. Postal
Service. If voting by mad works in Oregon, why not in other
states, or even nationwide? We're glad people trust us to
