Dear "Phog":

It has come to my attention that the functioning
of the Placement Bureau at the University is not what
it might be.

Upon the Chancellors return I am hoping ta discuss
this matter with him for the purpose of improving the
situation if possible, and it appears to be possible,

I hold that the University can do no greater service
to its graduates, prospective employers, and the State,
than help them secure employment upon graduation, I
am convinced there can be an improvement,

; I am writing you because I recently heard of a
vacancy, now sometime past,in Which a request Was made
of the Bureau for a plac a High School coaching
staff - and were advised they had no application. The
matter was taken up With you, I am told, and you told
they had plenty of good men and furnished them several
applications -— one applicant, which they hired, turned
out to be one of the best Coaches the School had ever
known.

Now if you can and care to help me out in this
I would appreciate it. Of course I assume any such
information you care to give me you would want kept
confidential. If it appears worthwhile I would be
glad to stop at Lawrence and discuss it with you per-
sonally, in Which case I Would be glad to have you let
mé know your summer plans as to when you would be in
Lawrence and available,

It seems like we have been sort of out of touch
lately, for which I presume neither is to blame, but
hope I can again see more of you and enjoy your contacts,

With best personal wishes, I am

Yours very truly,
