KANSAS STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND APPLIED SCIENCE MANHATTAN DEPARTMENT OF Vf PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS March a7, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allan Director of Physical Education Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lewrence, Kansas Dear Phogs Thanks very much for the expression of good will that was con- tained in your letter of the 22nd of March. It appears thet after due consideration, the authorities decided to keep me another year, hoping thet by that time the war would be over and there would be more mater- ial to select from when the boys return to their homes. It is needless for me to add that I am very happy to have a reprieve of one year as I truly enjoy my association with other members of our inter-collegiate fraternity. Your story of the spaghetti-vendor was apropos and I enjoyed it. May I return the compliment and write that I have ehjoyed our associate ions together. rome | phanath buck Ay ore wth ee { j Sincerely yours M.F. Ahearn MPA<-lh Director
