I know mothers are tremendously interested in how long ice ak
their boys in college, and I thought I should mention this. If you are —

ae Also, this Ordnance plant which is going up at Budora will need
_ young men to work, and Don could enter school here and I believe could get
eight hours work over there thet would pay him a handsome income. Many of
our boys are planning to do that thing this summer. Would Don be interested
in this sumer scheme with work? Of. course, all these things are contingent

Thank you for your kind letter of May 17th. I am

glad to know of Donald's fine scholastic record, and if he

this privilege. I am enclosing an application blank which

filed by May lst, but I learn thet there are still some

vacancies and it is not too late for his application to be

little more sure of his plans. If he

Dear Mrs. Adams:

I tried to call Roger Allen but but found that he was out until
noon, so I will not try to contact him before I dictate this letter.
I think it is a fine idea for Don to work and I am very sure that
if Roger hasn't arranged for the job that 1 ean fix him up without

2 I pley golr with Mr. Rathbun and ir. Prazee, both executives
in the Ordnance Works. Both of them told me that they would put on
any of the men that I would recommend, providing, of course, a
fellow has the physical stamina and the character requirements. And
Don has both of these and will have no @ifficulty doing the type of
work that is to be done. My understanding is that the jobs pay 85¢
en hour for 8 hours. The bus fare is about 46¢ from Lawrence and
Solin uev dak, iad oC ecurha the Worbere hive Sc Soin the unite,
which over the summer 1 think runs something better than $30.00.

I think it would be a fine thing for Pon to work around this
—
also a great number who will be working at the plant.

‘No, Kansas does not have a men's dorm which is strictly on a
cash basis. The women have a large dorm on that basis, but the men
have been rather slow. I do not believe that if I were Don I would
sign up for one of them because I am very sure that he will be asked
into a fraternity. Don has certain proficiencies, such as academics
and athletics, which will cause him to be sought after. And I quite
agree with you if Don has the money, and it is not much more expens-
ive than the non-fraternity life, that he would get a sense of values
from that which he would miss otherwise. The fellowship and friend-
ships formed in a fraternity are very lasting, especially if a
fellow is mature enough to appreciate those durable things in life.

This work will open up in a week or ten days, and any time Don

GAPTAIN FRANK J. ANNEBERG PROMOTES CAMP DAVIS SHOWS

"One of the principal reasons for success of the Sunday night
vee shows conducted by the 514th Coast Artillery in Service Club Noe 1
‘at Camp Dawis is the showmanship of the regiment's special services officer,
Captain Prank J. Anneberg, " gays a daily paper published near Camp Davis, W.C.

The officer referred ta Captain Amnebere, is a Leavenworth men,
having © large mmber of friends here. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J.
Maher: 911 Pottawatante street. He is a graduate of Leavenworth Senior
“High school and the University of Kansas, Lawrence. 2 a

The remainder of the avery about the Camp Davis captain follaws)

“Captain Anneberg ‘is an athlete who’ possesses what many athletes
lacke-a flair for the spectacular. He's made Ripley's Believe it or Not |
colum three times, no less, and gave exhibitions at the 1932 Olympics in Los
Angeles and the World's Fair in Chicago in 1934.

"The 614th officer is en acrobat. In his spare time he developed
the facility of being able to eat, drink or play musical instruments while
standing on his head. His ability to walk d wn steps, dance or roller skate
upside down Leaves the customers goggle-eyed. |

“Before one called to active duty with the Coast Artillery,
esa Anneberg was ins true tor in adagio and acrobatic dancing at the
University of Kansas, where he won his varsity btter in wrestling. From Kansas
he went to North Central college in Illinois, and there coaches the wrestling
teame |

“Not so long ago, Captain Anneberg conferred with a few musically —
inclined soldiers in the 514th and decided the outfit should inaugurate a

variety show. There seemed to be plenty of talent in the regiment.

 
 

“The show was presented one Sunday night in the Service club and
from that night on it ‘just grew’. The 514th musical ensemble now includes ten
pieces. Its still growing and Captain Annéberg expects to have a 15Qman band
under the name of "Doodlers’. That's a good neme, because its members really
doodle.

- “The Sunday night show has become a permanent feature. Hmdreds
participate in the commmity singing, i important part of the program. Although
the show was organized by the 514th, it is open to all other organizations at

the camp."

Dear Dr. Allen,
Thanks for the fine material on Dr. Naismith recieved

today,it is just what was wanted.
Do you by chance have a cut of him which could be loaned the publish-

ers.Lea & Febiger of Philadelphia ? I should think it probable that

that the University has such. Desired size about 2"x3" or 3"x4",since

/ \the page itself is not larke. You appreciate the value of how such

/
i

would “liven up"the article.

The publishers are trying to keep additionsl material down to the
minimum because of the increased cost of paper,labor etceamd I am doing

my best to make the changes creditable,so every item I can save increases

the chance of accapteance of copy.

Summer school nas opened with a fair registration. Gas and tire
shortage is cutting in on attendance,our staff is badly reduced by calls

into the service,but we plan to carry on as long as possible.
