Mr. Karl Kloos, Bursar,
University. of Kansas.

Dear Karl:

I am writing you regarding your ciroular letter of
March 22nd which is addressed ‘The Head of Department Addressed”.
I had overlooked the one : | where you have asked for a reply

As I told you over, the phone, I studied this carefully
and then wrote a note to Henry Shenk and appended it to this letter.

es Since we had not ordered anything except pool equip-
ment last fall that required a priority I did not see any need, as I
véewed it. You will remember that we endeavored to order a pump for
the pool and failed to get priority when Mr. Bayles decided to rebuild
the pump. We did ask and receive a priority on the swimming pool
cleaner. So I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this respect.

o I would like to fil out « priority blank for chlorine
for the future. If it cannot apply to these three months I would like
to have you forward a blank that we can fill out for priority beginning
duly lat.

| Captain Buhl has asked and received permission for his
Machinists' Mates to take their swimming tests on Mondays and Thurs-
days. So it will be possible for us to get a priority on account of
service use. The new Navy contingent that is coming in for Engineer-
ing is also required to take this test. | ,

Very ‘sincerely yours,

| Director of Physical Education,
