BM ch ce Eee E THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF March ST; 1946 THE CHANCELLOR Memorandum to Dr. Allen - The watchmen have reported wholesale smoking on all floors of the gymnasium during intramural compe- tition in recent nights. I just want to call attention to the fact that smoking has always been prhibited in the gymnasium, and that there has been no relaxation in this regulation. The cooperation of all parties concerned in the enforcement of this rule is requested. We dare not risk the loss of a building by fire.

However, I do not believe that this one protest werrants changing the location of our final street dance next Wednesday. To make a éhense for this final dance would mean chang~ ing electrical wiring and outlets for our amplifying system. Furthere more, the Bailey Chexistry Building acts as a sort of band shell or a sounding board for the music of the orchestra. Also, we have the flood lights set up on the adjacent playground which provides illumination | for both the dance and the spectators. le have been having an attendance — of well over five hundred at each of these mid-week dances, Many ~ of the students who do not care to dance have taken advantage of the badminton, shuffleboard, croquet, -and other activities on the play= grounds 3 I am sorry for the inconvenience to Mrs. Hood's brother, but I am sure that it is an isolated case, In planning for enother summer I think her suggestion about moving the dances to an area in front of Frank = Hall will be worth thoughtful consideration. Wery sincerely yours, Henry Ae Shenk, . Chairman of the 7 HASSMF Department of Physical Education. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR July 8, 1946 Memo to Mr. Shenk: 1. Purchase requests should be signed by you only on the pink copy. Do not sign the white copy. 2. Your secretary has been sending purchase requests without indication of the budget allotment or net balance # date at the bottom of the sheet. With the beginning of the new fiscal year this information should be computed—--by adding the unencumbered balance as of June 30th to the new maintenance allotment. 3. In answer to your letter of July 5th con- cerning laboratory fees I want to point out that under the new arrangement whereby specific laboratory fees are abolished we have granted to the department a lump sum in lieu of such laboratory fees. For the Depart- ment of Physical Education this amounted to $2500. Out of this item you will, ef course, pay the costs of laundry and wear and tear on the towels. I assume, of course, that the students in question are enrolled in courses this summer which normally require payment or towel fees. Sincerely yours, fia/Nctula Executive Secretary July 5, 1946 fe Mr.-Raymond Nichols Chancellor's Office Dear Rays So far as I cnn, no provision has been made for compensating the Physical Education Department for towel fees this summer, WBeveral of our football] and basketball courses require the students to suit up for laboratory arp traction, ‘Since we have no towel Suete I suggest that the Physical Education Department be allowed $50.00 to cover laundry costs and some wear and tear on the. towels. Sincerely yours, Henry Shenk HS sMiF é Director of Physical Education June 15, 1946 Mrs Raymond Nichols ~ Chancellor's Office Prank Strong Hall — Dear Rays In confirmation of my telephone conversation with 7 your office this morning, I wish to advise that the followe ing is the 194681947 schedule for our home basketball games in Hoch Auditoriums: a ee danvery 7 Missouri : January 24 Iowa State January 28 Kansas State february 15 Nebraska March 4 Oklahoma : Also, December 10 and n are being held open tentae tively for the University of Idaho. — : Sincerely, . frector Of Physical Education, Varei ty Basketball Coach. & PCA :MF June il, 1946 3 { Chancellor Deane Malott Frank Strong Hall Dear Chancellor Malotts You nny. be interested in this study of the status of physical education in colleges and universities / in the United States. You will note that we are decidedly in the pinsetty. fa our “he veukipanet”, giasurely, ee Assistant Professor HS sMF of Physical Bdueation PeS. Please return The Research Quarterly to me when you have finished reading ite e , HS THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR April 23, 1946 TO CHAIRMEN OF DEPARTMENTS: The recent survey of textbook needs indicates that the number of volumes required for the summer session is not too large to be handled in the usual manner. If you have not already provided for the requirements for your department for the summer, you should do so promptly through Rowlands or by whatever other meens you think best. The number of textbooks required for the fall semester is so large that past provisions for handling them may not be adequate. The student bookstore mst wait authorization by the Board of Regents at their meeting on May 10, and probably can not be organized in time to start taking orders for books mich before June 1, You are free, in the meantime, to inform any bookstore of the needs of your department for the fall semester or to provide the required texts in any other manner you wish. When the student bookstore is ready for operation, the manager will undoubtedly canvass your department concerning textbook requirements for fall. An effort will be made to avoid dupli- cation of orders already placed. The University is writing to the book companies concern- ing the delivery of textbooks for fall for courses requiring as many as one hundred copies of a single text. If necessary, the University will endeavor to purchase promptly books which might otherwise be unobtainable, but it is hoped that such purchases will be necessary only in a few cases. Please inform the Chan- cellor's Office if you know of books which must be thus purchased by the University. If your department plans to use any books which were used in Navy courses, you should check with the Chancellor's Office on the number of such books purchased by the University which are still available. Your demands for summer and fall should be modified accordingly. In summary: make provision for your textbook needs for summer promptly; make known your needs for next fall to any agency you wish at the present time and to the student bookstore when organized; inform the Chancellor's Office concerning books which mst be purchased promptly by the University in order to assure availability when needed, Sincerely yours, EAELIF——G Dean of the University THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence Office of THE CHANCELLOR April 2, 1946 TO CHAIRMEN OF DEPARTMENTS: At the meeting called by Chancellor Malott on March 25, it was agreed that a report should be made as soon as possible on textbooks needed for the summer session and for the fall semester. Enclosed you will find a blank which you are requested to fill out and return to the Chancellor's Office. The information is desired only on the probable need for new books to be purchased by Rowlands, the student bookstore, or the University. In order that the estimate may be as accurate as possible it is suggested that you ask instructors in your depart- ment to poll each of their present classes to determine how many students are willing to turn in their textbooks to the book ex- change at the end of the present semester. The number of second- hand books now available, or likely to become available, for a given course should be subtracted from the total need before the figure is inserted on the blank. Changes in textbooks should be kept to a minimum in order that second-hand books may be used as far as possible. It is highly desirable to know that the needed number of books will actually be available from the publishers if ordered at an early date. Please indicate on the blank the books for which you have already received such assurance. An effort will be made by the Chancellor's Office to complete the information for the courses requiring large numbers of books. Please send your report to the Chancellor's Office as soon as possible and not later than April &. Sincerely yours, ESL LIA 7 G41 E. B. Stouffer Dean of the University EBS: gms March 27, 1946 Chancellor Deane We Malott Office of the Chancellor Dear Chancellor Malott: Certainly we will do everything we can immediately to repair the wire netting backstops at the sonerete courts. Budgetary balances have been badly kicked to pieces in repairing the backstops for the other tennis courts. Labor shortages and procvrement of the necessary wire netting Rave also caused bottlenecks. , Certainly now, if at any time, we nee@ everyone of our tennis courts and other recreative facilities in the best possible shapes ihe : I can share the unhappiness of the students when they fail to find the tennis courts rolled and lined at times. It costs us $1.00 per day per court to rolY and mark these playing surfaces. A rain obliterates all markings ana - gO you can begin to see what showers cost us. Getting these courts marked again taxes our labor supply. if the Athletic Department has need for Wr. Davidgson and his helper, it is necessary for us to wait until these workmen ~ can give us @ share of their time. I am sure you can see the Uiubere withant further elaboration, but we will get it dorie somehow. I mean pronto$ But just how will be another problem, Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR March 26, 1946 Dr. F. C. Allen, Director Dep't. of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear "Phog": It has come to my attention from various students that the wire netting backstops at the new con- crete courts is so badly gone to pieces that the students are chasing lost balls and running around hunting them a good deal of the time. We have spent so much money on these courts that I want to see that they are in the very best condition possible. Can you see that the proper pbackstops are placed in position on these courts? There is, also, a good deal of unhappiness about the condition and maintenance of the other tennis courts of the University. They need more attention, both on the surface of the courts and on the general maintenance, marking, and care of backstops than has been given. I would appreciate it very much if you would do what you can, because with this big enrollment I am eager to have every recreational facility utilized and in the best possible working order, Thanks, ever so much.

To Members of the Faculty: With the increased enrollment of veterans the problem of issuing books and supplies is becoming more and more difficult. The guiding rule that has been established by the Veterans Admin- istration is that a veteran will be furnished books and supplies that are required of all other students taking the same course or curriculum. Faculty members, when requested by veterans to sign book requisitions, should approve items on this basis only. A veteran who completes a course is allowed to keep as his own all supplies issued to him for that course, The Veterans Administration aims to supply the veteran with items of standard quality such as will enable him to do © satisfactory work, In the case of supplies such as slide rules, drawing sets, etc., medium priced items are furnished. If the veteran desires a more expensive item he must pay the difference, Among the long list of items not allowable are: gym shoes or clothes, fountain pens, file boxes, brief cases, mechanical pencils, student lamps, etc. It should be mentioned that bills for supplies are paid to the local dealer by the University, which in turn bills the Veterans Administration at the close of each term for all supplies issued during that term, Since the Veterans Adminis- tration reserves the right to withhold payment for items that seem in excess of the veterans’ needs, there is always the possibility that the University may suffer a financial loss if instructors sign veterans! purchase orders for items not required of all students doing the same work, Any faculty member acting as advisor to students should keep in mind that a veteran must carry a minimum load of 12 hours in a regular semester in order to receive his full subsistence allowance. Sincerely yours, RAYMOND NICHOLS, Executive Secretary. a Vi saaeegeen sn Mr, Raymond Nichols , le 4 _ Chancellor's Office | a8 | | \ | Dear Rays / . es You and I have had discussions regarding the necessity of our probe ably enlarging our instructors' staff for the additional Navy requirements and for the enlargement of our professional school work, In sppraising the offering of Courses necessary to carry on our professional school and at the same time meet the Navy requirements, as well as an enlarged demand for intramurals, I find that I am faced with the manpower shortage in scheduling personnel to handle the thing. After working with Messrs, Shenk and Kanehl on this proposition, and after assigning a full. teaching load to each of our staff, I find that we have a total of thirty-two instruce. tion hours remaining to be assigned. It seems advisable under these circumstances to add instructors to handle this overload, oe (Our offering is still too meeker in attractive activity. We should probably offer more sections in wrestling, boxing and apparatus, especially for the benefit of the Navy. There is also a demand for these activities and others from the Seturning service men, It is: my understanding thet Navy men may enroll in these activity classes in lieu of the general Physical Education, | _, it has also been necessary to hire much additional student help in _monitory service on account of the new basket system that we have installed for the Navy. The officers of the Navy demanded that we have some system that would prevent © the Navy students from taking equipment out of the other fellow's locker, Therefore, we had Mr, Bayles put in wooden strips between the basket lockers. The Navy requires the students to have locks or the baskets and this strip makes the basket seoure and sa¥e against purloining by anyone else not owning the basket. The abuse got so bad that many of the V«12 boys could not report to class due to the lack of equipment, which was a Navy must. I find, too, that our towels have been depleted to such an extent, due to the wear and tear of laundering and use by the men, that we must immediately order @ large supply, Our cost of the administration of these affairs is going to be far in excess of what it was estimated last’ year. This, of course, is on account of greatly increased enrollment and this which I have just mentioned. | : : Tam just leaving now for Manhattan but will get in touch with you | &$8 soon as possible.

It seems advisable under the circumstances to add instructors to handle this overload. Our offering is still too meager in attractive activi- tiese We should probably offer more sections in wrestling, boxing and apparatus, especially for the benefit of the Navy. It is my understanding that Navy men may enroll in these activity classes in lieu of general physical education. By permitting the Navy men to enroll in activities, I am sure each instructor will be able to appraise and be re- sponsible for the class records of these men. It has been very difficult under the irreguiar enrollment of Navy men in Physical Education for any one instructor to assume this responsibility. I am sure this will solve a great many problems in keeping the records straight. Ray Kanehl December 4, 1945 Dr. Ed Blbel Frank Strong Hall University of Kansas | Lawrence, Kansas Dear Eddie: The Budget Committee thinks they will have need for you during the second semester. However, they are expecting you to teach in the summer. I will talk with you at your first convenience, However, I do want you to take that course in kinesiology. I am going to be out a lot after the second semester on the Grapefruit and Lettuce League and I will appreciate it if you will take this one course over in making yo preparation for your second semester schedule. This will also get your hand back in teaching and will give you contact with our physical education majors and physical therapy students.
