Dear re Kingnans

This will acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 7th
instant. The University of Kansas does not provide traveling
expenses and since I drive a Buick Roadmaster I find that the
least I can get along for would be 57 per mile each waye

My administrative and class work! demands that I
spend as much time at the office as I possibly can, and then
I use my car to arrive with the greatest economy of times
Really, I cannot operate my ear for 5¢ a mile, and I believe
62 is ebout as low an anybody can operate a car for, but I
Will leave that to your judgznente

Regarding Bob and Howard, I will be very glad to ask
them, but I find that they have a pretty heavy schedule in that
- Howard is President of the Senior Class School of Business, and
Bob is & candidate for Phi Peta Kappa, hence both boys are
students who miss very little class tine and it is difficult
to get them away. If I can possibly arrange it, I assure you
I will be glad to bring themy but I have made it a general —
practice never to take a boy away from the classroom because
the main purpose of his tenure here would be defeated.s

I am sure you will agree with me on this scores .
Do you have any special subject that you would like for me
to discuss?

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation

‘Varsity Basketball Coach
