UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Lawrence
Office of the Chancellor October 22, 1943

TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS:

Owing to the difficulty that national associations have had in
arranging their annual meetings no definite out-of~state travel budget has
been set up by the University for the fiscal year 1942-43, Any member of the
staff desiring to attend an association meeting or make any other trip outside
Kansas, the expense for which would be normally borne by the state, should
make application. in writing directly to the Chancellor somewhat in advance of
the date of the propsed trip. Requests for travel to be made under the grants
from the Graduate Research Committee should be submitted to the Graduate Office
rather than to the Chancellor.

Under the state law, out-of-state travel for which reimbursement is
expected must be approved by minute of the Board of Regents in advance of the
date of the heginning of the trip, and receipts must be presented for every
item of expenditure, except taxi and the like, Travel for the state is
exempt from the Federal Transportation Tax if a transportation exemption
certificate is filled out at the time the ticket is purchased, Copies of this
certificate are available at the Chancellor's Office,

Sincerely yours,

RAYMOND NICHOLS
Executive Secretary
