Dear Phog:

It sakes we K. U. folk around here
mighty haodoy that you wiil be with us on
next Tues. Evening. Your willingness is
a wellknown fact, and a willing horse gets
ridden, they say. %o while we realize that
you are putting out extra effort to be
with us, we want you to know that we appre-

ciate it very much.

I hope that you heve solved the travel
problem. If you would prefer to come on
the train, I would be happy to meet you in
either Ellsworth or Mcpherson. We could get
you on a Santa Fe at Sterling at something
aiter eleven that night. It might be more
restful than driving.

- At my suggestion they have changed the
time of the meeting to seven. I thought
that perhaos you might need the extra half-
hour to get here without hurrying.

Anticipating with pleasure our visit
with you, I am

Dear Daves

I have just returned from our play-off in Kansas
City, and notice in Tuesday's Xensan the publicity
concerning the calisthenics class.

You will renerber when you were in my office I
euphatioally urged you to present your program the
next day so that we could make our plans with our
instructors. I haven't heard from you yet, and TI
feel that the Kansan carries premature publicity bde-
cause no sort of a program has been worked out.

Purther, I feel that wnless there is one hundred
per cent participation in the class by members of the
two student councils to set the example for the other
students, that the whole thing will be ea failure.

I notice in the paper that “those who wish to
enroll may do ao by contacting the Ku Ku's, Jey Janes,
the registrar's office or the athletic office". Where
does the Department of Physical Hiucation come in?

Fitness Class

The War-Defense committee of
the M.S.C. is sponsoring a calisthen-
ics class which will start next Mon-
day and continue aout weeks until
May 3.

The class will meet in Robinson
gymnasium until the weather is
warmer and then will meet outside
on one of the playing fields.

The class will be instructed by
Dr. Forrest C. Allen and his staff.
Doctor Allen says, “I think this is
a great thing. We will work them
hard, but everyone will have fun
while working.”

Enrollment started yesterday and
will continue until Friday. Those
who wish to enroll may do so by
contacting the Ku Ku’s, Jay Janes,

the registrar’s office or the athletic}

office.

Classes will meet twice a week at
4:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Monday and
Wednesday. More than 30 campus
leaders, including members of the
Men’s Student Council and the
W.S.G.A. Council and house presi-
dents have enrolled in the class. The
class will be strictly calisthenic.

Orville Wright, chairman of the
War-Defense committee of the
M.S.C. says, “this is, in a sense, an
experiment to determine whether or
not the midwestern college student
is concerned enough with this war
to discipline himself. It is undoubt-
edly true that unless this class suc-
ceeds, compulsory physical training
will be inducted on this campus.
Demands are now being made for
that compulsory training in influ-
ential circles. The students by en-
rolling in this course can make it
successful.”

Towel fee will be the regular sev-
enty-five cents which entitles the
student to 18 towels. The class will
meet 17 times in the eight week’s
period. The student is expected to
furnish his own gym equipment.

fael Herrera of Phoenix turned over

The M.S.C. War-Defense commit- |
tee meeting, at which presidents of |
all university houses and activities |
were requested to be present, was |
held in the Memorial Union ball-
room at 4:30 pm. Monday.

The meeting was called to discuss |
war and defense activities on the|
campus, The three-term basis for
Hill activities and organizations is
being planned by the Men’s Student
Council. There is a possibility of
organized houses remaining open for
the summer. The defense commit-
tee is asking all houses to poll their
‘members to discover how many
‘would like to keep the houses open
during summer school.

Also discussed was the plan to
collect current issues of magazines
from organized houses to send to
army camp libraries. The maga-
zines will be turned in at the Un-
ion building by a representative
from. each house and a record will
be kept at the check stand, -

The new service flags were dis-
played at the meeting and mem-
_-kers of the men’s houses were told |
how to obtain the flags for their
houses.

Some of those present at the meet- |
ing were enrolled in the new cal-
isthenics class which is to start next.
Monday. |

Near the close of the meeting,
those present were reminded to buy
defense bonds, turn in books for the |
Victory book campaign, and to write
letters to the men in the service. |

Dear Phog:

I suppose you have heard that Paul
Masoner has joined Tunney's corps of
Physical Education instructors. His
enlistment necessitates our finding a
good man to carry on his work for the
balance of the year. Also if we can find
the right man we would be glad to give
him every consideration for next fall.

Paul has been doing an excellent job
with his Physical Education classes and we
are particularly anxious to keep the good
work going. Could you recommend anyone to
complete the remaining six weeks of our
school year, starting on Tuesday, April 7?
We would be willing to pay any reasonable
salary and make any other inducements,
which would help us to complete the current
year. Please let me hear from you.

Congratulations on a fine basket ball

Dr. F. C. Allen, Director
Department of Physical Education
University of Kansas

Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Dr. Allen:

THis afternoon I was in your office to give you the
letter you requested, and your secretary gave me the
letter you had written that morning.

I deeply regret that a misunderstanding has arisen.
We planned to send you a letter on Monday, but after the
morning rally we thought it best to wait until you
returned, and in the meantime quietly go ahead, assuring
you of more specific and definite details.

On Monday afternoon we called a meeting of campus
leaders, and enrolled many of them in the calisthenics
class. It was our idea to quietly enroll a nucleus of
student leaders, and then, after they were enrolled, to
speak to you, get a quotation or possibly a whole story
from you, and release the complete plans to the Kansan.
Unfortunately, the Kansan did not withhold the story as
we had planned, and consequently the premature story of
which you speak was printed. It was our plan not to re#
lease any story until full plans were made, including the
names of campus leaders whose participation would add
prestige to the class. Byt as you know far better than
I do, newspaper reporters often miscontrue the best of
plans.

Our plan was to ask you if it would be possible to
begin the classes Monday afternoon, March 23. But in view
of the recent developments, and the remarkable basketball
success (of which we are all very proud), the class of
course will have to be postponed until you feel you can
make the necessary arrangements. We mve notified the
newspaper of the postponement.

As indicated in the MSC Questionnaire, and from the
general student reaction, it appears most desireable to
make this strictly a rigid calisthenics class, in which the
students are drilled and toughened solely in calisthenics.

If possible, I should like to arrange an appointment
with you for Monday, March 23, which, I understand, is the
earlist date that you will be at your office. I think you
will agree with me that the class should begin at the
earlisst date possible.
MEN’S STUDENT COUNCIL

From our investigations, it appears that the most
popular time for the class would be on Mondays and
Wednesdays at 4:30 o'clock. The other days conflict with
laboratories, glee clubs, etc.

Again, may I express my regrets that the situation
got out of hand. Interest in the class is running high
with many students, and I am confident it can be a success.

We are deeply grateful to you for your willingness

and cooperation in the setting up of these classes. When-
ever we can be of assistance, please feel free to call

on us.

I owe you an apolozy for not answering your first

who fails to acknowledge communications.

For a great number of years I was very active in

tremendously interested in the welfare of the game. How~
ever, there is a certain group who seem to speak for the
Coaches Association at the present time that I camot go
along with. I was named chairman of the Basketball Rules
Committee of the Coaches Association without my knowledge.
As soon as I received notification I told them that I did
not care to serve.

I will not be present at New Orleans, and rogret

that under the conditions I am not greatly interested in
the way the determining members are handling the situation.

Dear Maxs

This will confirm our telephone conversation this
morning regarding Donaldean Maison. He came in greatly dis-
couraged and wanted to quit school, I told him that surely
there was sombody at Lyons who would help him stay in
school. Hoe made 5 hours of C, 24 hours of B and 6 hours of
D last semester. That gives him about ten grede points.

All he owes is this $30.00 for board and room. I
told him if his lendlady wented all of the money right away
thet I would see that she got it.

I think Donealdean is a fine boy, a fine athlete
and I believe he is a leader. I have confidence that he will
go places.

Thank you for yom kindly cooperation.
