TO THE STAFF MEMBER ADDRESSED:

As you may know, the 1941 Kansas Legislature en-
acted a merit or civil service law which will apply to most
positions at the University.

Before the law can be put into effect, however,
the various jobs in the state must be classified by the
Kansas Civil Service Board. As a first step in this classi-
fication, the attached questionnaire is to be filled out by
you in detail. To assist you in filling out.the question-
naire the following suggestions are made:

1. Read carefully the instructions on pages 1 and 4
of the questionnaire.

2, Write your answers on the yellow sheet. Be sure
that they are complete.

3. If you have a typewriter, type your answers on the
green and white sheets; if you do not have a type-
writer, turn your copies over to your immediate super-
ior for copying. (Dr. Allen)

4, As soon as the copies are typed, sign the green
and white copies and return them to your immediate
superior. (Keep the yellow sheet).

5. Under Item 3, write in the words "University of
Kansas".

6. Under Item 4, write in the name of your depart-
ment, such as Buildings and Grounds Department, Library,
Student Health Service, State Geological Survey, Regis-
trar's Office, etc.

7. If you have any questions, consult your immediate
superior.

Sincerely yours,

RAYMOND NICHOLS,
Executive Secretary
