At your convenience you can turn this in at the Business Office to be deposited to that fund. When the bus statements arrive I will send them on over to you. . { Yours very sincerely, Russell L, Wiley On : February 5, 1942. Mr. J. J.

Dear "Doc": Just a note to find out how the University feels toward Sports announcers in the way of basketball tickets. In other words, I wonder if K.U. gives complimentary tickets to the Sports Announcers in the near vacinity. In football, Kansas was the only school, that did not oblige the sports announcers. For the good of future sports at K.U. I hope they do not continue this policy in football, basketball or any sport. If you are going to give comps to sports announcers, I would certainly appreciate it if you could fix me up. Also, Dad was wondering what the deal on K#Men is as far as tickets are concerned. Trusting that you will do the best you can, I want to wish you luck on the coming season, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your far-spread family, I remain, Fraternally yours , VA tee ditor, ee 3/City, Missouri December li, 1941. | Mire de Je Wilson, Manager, The Rapid Transit Co., Lawrence, Kansas.

The cars ere cutting to the left of the circle silt pavpin Souditg Bim tho deeih Wak wee’ an vieote going to the east makes it a bottleneck when the bus stops.
