Dear Phog:

IT have no objection to your suggestion
about bowling, but just at the moment I don't
know where we can get the funds to do it. I am
a little loath to make any unnecessary commitments
or expenses until we find out how the winter's
enrollment is going. Then perhaps we can see what
can be done.

I think there is no logical reason why
your department should keep up the handball building
except that you have always done so and right now
Mr. Bayles is nearly frantic with his own budget.

He is the most willing person in the world but we
are pushing him pretty hard to get some new ad-
ministrative offices here in this building, fourteen
new practice rooms in Hoch Auditorium, repairs in
the basement of Fraser and maintenance work in
Marvin Hall. All of these simply take up the funds
which he has this year at his command.

I am sorry we don't have more funds but
hope to help you out possibly by opening a student
drive for handball courts this spring, and I do
hate to leave those buildings as they are due to
the fact that students themselves complain about
it.

There was no appropriation at all made for
the intramral field grading although I tried to get
it. The legislature was pretty good to us.in granting
most of our requests but this is one that went by the
boards. I am sorry, but somehow, sometime, we shall
look for better luck.

Sincerely,

NS... @. ana
