Dear Dr.Allen:

I regret that you feel as you do regarding the situation that
Came up on our basketball date. However, I would like for you to under-
stand that income, from a convention of the type which I mentioned, is
absolutely nothing. We merely put this convention on as a civic service
and the Auditorium pvays the bills. This is one of my duties as Director
and when such conflicting dates occur there is nothing much more I can
do then try to make satisfactory arrangements with all concerned.

I have talked with the International Secretary of the Boilermakers
Union and have arranged to have the convention move out of the Arena
early enough Saturday afternoon, February Sth, to assure you that the
court will be in readiness for the K.U.-Great Lakes game on scheduled
time, so you may continue your schedule as previously erranged,

Yours trul
