Mr. Williem Wilps
Herminine, Pennsylvania

Dear Willian:

Mr. Mike Getto, former KU coach and at present the manager
of the Eldridge Hotel has told me about you and that you are interested
in coming to the University of Kansas.

First of all I want you to know that we will be very happy to
have you here as a student and as a football player. We are looking for
boys who realize that education is important and yet«who like to compete
in athletics. Mr. Getto tels me that you are interested in Heating and
air conditioning , refrigeration and so forth. Those courses are offered
here in the University in the mechanical engineering department ot the
School of Engineering. You would want to take the four years' course in
mechanical engineering with a major in these courses.

Undér special cover I am sending you a booklet telling about
some of the activities of the school.of Engineering her at the University.
Our school of engineering is one of the outstanding engineering schools in
this section of the coumtry, and our graduates are readily placed with big
industrial concerns throughout the country upon graduation if they are
interested in that type of work.

You will find living costs gt the University of Kansas probably
lower than at any school of similar size and reputation in the United States.
I understand that you are a discharged veteran and would have most of your
schooling taken care of under the G I Bill of Rights. Should you not be
able to get along on the funds provided, we can find you a job by which you
can earn some additional money to help you should you care to have such a
job.

We have had a number of boys from Pennsylvania and your vicinity
that have come to school out here at KU and have made good. We would certainly
be glad to have you here at the University and playing on our varsity teams.

I will be glad to send you any further information and answer any
questions that you may have about coming out here.

Very Sincerely yours,

Coach Varsity Football

Of its 370 seas now » Ahive) initiated since its reestablishment in 11908, Mo Alpha
has 148 know members in service in the present conflict or a percentage of 40. We
feel sure this compares very favorably or even better than many figures we have scen
since the war,, There are some, no doubt that have never reported and again we ap-
peal to every Mo Phi Psi in service to PLEASE report his service to the editor.

On Feb, lst, Craig Ruby, Jimmy Stewart, Bell Dehoney went to Columbia and met Vernon
Hentschell and Orson Lee of St. Louis. The trip was primarilly to look over the
Gampus and try to pledge some men, Also to inspect the house and other matters in
connection with the chapter. We are very glad to report the pledging of Don Carr,
Washington, D. C. and Graham Hay of Long Island, New York, Also that there are
several men to be rushed by these new pledges including Bill Collins! son who has
been discharged from service. In other words, a step has been made in the right
direction. April will see these men initiated and more pledged,s Ruby reports that
the house is in swell shape since the Govt.resurfaced the floors and repainted all
the downstairs also that the Sammys are taking the best of care of the property and
as spring comes there should be more men in the mouse, hence more rent will be re~—
alized. * | ill g,

a little higher type of fellow than the rest". Sure Dave we've know that since

these brothers in the service —- just think paying up these notes —- while some of
the civilian brothers are not paying some $14,000 still in Treasurer Giesecke's note
file. Looks like Phi Psi does something for these younger initiates that it did not
do 10, 20 and 30 years ago at Missouri.

Norm Ericson writes from Europe that he is still counting on doing big things at
Mo Alpha after the war, Get this ~ now fellas. He wants to be the first one back
to summer school and to help get the house in order etc., etc., Now there's a Bro.

We read in the Dec. issue of the Mo Alumnus magazine that "Sen" Jones'08 boy was
killed in action over France. He was in the Army Air Corps. In the same issue

we see that Archie Klein 1914-15 M U grid star died Nov. 25 of a cerebral hemorrhage
at Shepard Field, Texas.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE Ue-—-—The University board of visitors has recommended a post war
program for the U which will entail the expenditure of some 20 million dollars in
Columbia. This will modernize all Red campus buildings and even might mean the
passing of Jesse Hall dome. Some of the larger items to be Oked by the legislature
(everybody write your representative). 3 million for a string of dormitories; 3
million for 6 Ag bldgse; 13 million for library expansion; 2 million to be used in
college of engineering in new and reconditioned bldgs.; 13 million for a real aud-
itorium; a student union or center 1 1/4 million; a $750, 000 gymnasium and 1 million
for a new power plant and underground facilities. This program in comparison to the
past annual expenditures of 1 or 2 million really is something to talk about. It is
possible that this program may be financed by a bond issue which no doubt will meet
with the approval of all interested in the University. So all you alums talk up
Missouri.

Management over the wretchedly poor service we

Dear "Phog";

As you requested, I amclosing the article on Tom
Bennett. You may make whatever use of it that you
wish,

His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bennett of Holton.
Walter is a Rotarian.

Have been right back at work since I left “awrence.
Maybe I do not have as much work to do, since I ceased
to be a member of Local Board No. 1 of Douglas County; |
but I am busy.

With all best wishes,
TOM BENNETT

First Lieut, Thomas E, Bennett, of Holton, severely wounded

es mine explosion near Metz, France last October where he was

serving with the Seventh Army 163rd Engineers, died March 29, 1945

in the Army Hospital at Brigham, Utah, Tom spent two years in the :
K. Ue School of Architecture and was sworn into the United States

Army as an inductee on October 18, 1942. He always planned and

expected to return to Mt. Oread to finish his education, but over and
above this he was always a loyal Jayhawker as is shown by many

personal remembrances which are prized possessions of his family,

For instance there is the picture of his jeep taken in Paris with its
name "Jayhawker" plainly visible on its side, But even more significant
are the contents of his personal notebook which he always carried in

his pocket, In this book, next only to the data which he kept on all

of the men in his platoon, appear in his own handwriting the complete
words to "I'M A JAYHAWKER" and "CRIMSON AND THE BLUE", Truly Tom Bennett

was a loyal Son of Kansas as well as a faithful and brave soldier,
