Dear ir. Bayles:

I acknowledge receipt of your letter
of Oetober 28.

ay I “Ts in my actions saying
that last spring at the budget conference I naturally
took up with the budget committee the matter of exe
pense of remodeling the Athletic Office so that it
would incorporate an office for Physical Education,
The Chancellor's Office informed me that it was not
necessary to include that in the Physical Education
budget. “hat they desired was for me to submit to
them my ideas on the remodeling and repairing improvee
ment that would be done under their direction, and
they would handle the matter.

. i pointed out the fact that the fivee
foot width flooring in front of our office was in very
bad state of repair, that the walls in this end ef the
gymnasium here had not been painted for quite some time
and that the wainscoting and radiators in the adjacent
area had besn stained by sputum which made it a very
unsightly looking place. ee |

| The Chancellor reassured us ‘upon |
several occasions that he desired to give us tools to
work with, Opening our front door as we do on the
stairway leading up from the gymnasium makes it
hecessary that we have things in fairly good appear-
ance to make our quarters et ell inviting. We do not
think that the front door presents that desirable 7
viewpoint at present. — : an |

j I believe you will remember that the
matter of windows was taken up directly with your office.
This had to do with ventilation and healthful living in
our quarters here, |
