We carried through the entire season a sixeteam softball league, each team having about 13 players on ite Most of these men who played were graduate students and they found these games on Monday, Wednesday and Friday necessary adjmots in keeping more physically fit and ow alert for the summer's grinds This league has been in full Swing three years, and if enything, it we eave popular this year than last. We arranged to have the swimming pool open immediately after the games so that the players could heve a plunge in the ‘pool. In fact, the men’s afternoons were so allocated that the men who did not play softball and wanted only the swimming, they could indulge in thate It works very nicely in the scheme of things by having the men's afternoons the same afternoons that the softball games are played, Swimming poole As stated above, the pool was open Sor Sith eink wiiiniy ee nee ala noons @ week end women three afternoons a weeks The cosrecreational splash wae held twice & week in the evenings, and it was @ Great SUCCESS e Each year the cojored people have had one oF ‘two cosrecreational axieihie, . and what a splash they make Basketball. 3 on.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A CHILDREN'S PROGRAM ON THE PLAYGROUND It is very important and necessary that the children be provided for and well taken care of on the playgrounde However, they should not monopolize the equipment and play space which is more suitable for adultse Many times this summer adults have remarked that they would like to play a geme of shuffleboard or badminton or croquet but they “hated to run the children off." The nights when the children were amused on the band platform with the program of singing, and folk dancing, there re more fathers and mothers in attendance and it was also possible for these adults to use the play equipmente If there could be a well worked=ouf program of low=organized games for the younger children every evening for an hour or so, the chile dren would be amused and the adults who came with these children would have a chance to play and enjoy themselves.alsoe Someone in the community recreation class could plan and carry out such @ programe Such games as dodge ball, end ball, stealing sticks, long base, last couple out, prisoner's base, three deep, tag games and many others could be used, as well as many different kinds of relay racese Rope jumping, a hop scotch tournament, marbles, stunts and other activities could be introe ducede Certain shuffleboard courts and croquet areas could be reserved especially for the children, which they could take turns usinge Such a program could be carried out at the east end of the quadranglee A few additional lights could be installed here, and benches placed for the fond parents who want to watche Mrs. Sams duly 16, 1940. lies lerwina Zapple, henager, Union ‘ aiverwity of Eensane | Dear Iiies Zipples Sie 30 dt © ce ton af the Gite of ; wash Sn'eeies uk bien: Mie wnat anak alk: ~ %o you about arrangements that you think will be penererey te made he Hines pit fer eer etye THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE SUMMER SESSION July 16, 1940 Dr. F.

I discussed this item with Dean Schwegler and he tells me that we cannot use the Special Recreation Fund for an item which is your permanent office equipment. He tells me that this would have to come from regular departmental appropriations. I am, therefore, returning the requisition to you.

You and your staff are to be congratulated on the active interest that you have aroused among the students. I will be present at the games when possible. It will be better if you do not count on me regularly to officiate for you. My place had better be that of an assistant or relief umpire.
