Chancellor Deane W. Malott,
University of Kansas.

Dear Chancellor Malott:

The highlights of the new national organization
known as the High School Victory Corps place a decided

emphasis on the physical fitness angle of all high
school boys and girls.

The University Senate mde physical sducation
compulsory for “all men students at the University of
Kansas who at the beginning of any semester are regis-
tered for Selective Service or are members of the various —
enlisted reserve services of the armed forces".

Wie are now receiving boys from the high schools as
graduates who are 16 and 17 years of age, and are not
registered for Selective Service. As the thing works out
now some of the boys coming from high schools are excused
here, whereas if they remained in high school they would
be subject to the physical conditioning program. I am
wondering if something | shouldn't be done about this from
our standpoint.

Also, there are boys who enrolled last fall here
as freshmen who were under the 18-year age limit, who
are now subject to the Senate ruling. “

What do you advise?

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach.
