January 5, 1944. Mr. Hallie Harris, Buildings and Grounds. Dear Hallie: The condition of the floor in Hoch Auditoriua after the last dance is highly unsatisfactory. The floor was _ gerubbed once, tut much of the wax remained, but the boys have slipped and are very likely to get seriously hurt. T am entering a protest against any more dances on that floor during basketball season where wax is used on the floor. They will have to find some place else to dance, because we can'play basketball on a slippery floor. T watched the game last night between Port Riley and the Machinists’ Mates, and‘there were terrific spills. I em now asking you to have the men go over the floor again, and the student dance committee will have to pay the dbi11 because the job hasn't been done properly. Get some men and go after it again - don't wait for funds. Then ¥ want it tested before we go on the floor, beceuse the job has not been well done before. TI am not feeling good ebout it et all. Sincerely yours, : Director of Physical Rducation, POA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
