I do wish to call your attention to the fact that due to an error on Dean Swarthout'’s part last year we changed fran the dates that he had he Chancellor MaAlott Page 2 3 Jane 6, 1941 This morning my secretary gave me a notation from Mre Wiley as follows: "rr. Allen; Mre Wiley just called to check the hours that Mr. Nichols - gave me regarding the time the auditorium may be used for practice this weekends (You will recall there is a Music Clinic here this week) =e, The hours check for Thursday, no prectice in Hoch on Friday, but on Saturday Mre Wiley says it cannot possibly be ready _ before 54505 Mr» Nichols said 4:80e<-but Mr, Nichols probably did not realize that elevations will have to be renoved from the basketball floor after the afternoon performance, and Myre Harris says it will take an hour to remove the elevetions.s I told Mre Wiley that you no doubt will wish te practice in Hoch on Saturday in view of the fact that we have a game here on the following Mondays He said he was sorry you could not | get in sooner on Saturday, and said he would be glad to talk to you if you wished to call hime He will send you a program of the Music Clinic. 3 lg* _ The use of the auditorium has become so manifold and each individual feels as if his reservations are more important than the | others; therefore we are being forced out entirely, so far as practice periods are concerned or even a scheduled arrangement is possible. For that reason I wish to offer an emphatic protest against the way the thing is handled. If I am thinking correctly, I see no reason why a Music Clinic was scheduled util or unless we were consulted, ‘these dates have been taken away from us without our being notified, and inasmuch as we pley our first conference game next Monday, we are placed in a position of ' being foreed to play over there against our wishes with but one practice period for the whole timee Therefore, I feel enphatically that we would be much better off in erecting seats here in our gymnasium and playing where we can practice without interruption. | . , in @11 other BigeSix schools the teams practice where they playe I am sure thet you will recognize the fact that it is very dffficult to spend all of our practice periods over here in the gymasium and then be forced to play on a semi-foreign courte All other teams practice on the-home — court and the difference in points is from 8 to 10 per gameo. In justice to my boys and the team I feel that this is emphatically wnfairs Chancellor malott Page 8 ee 6, 1941 I went to assure you of my cooperation in all things, but this is just a little too wmreasonable to my way of thinkinge , In closing, I desire to say that through all the years that we have practiced in Hoch we have asked for but one period so that. we might practice before the Missouri game, and this was denied us by Dean Swarthout because he says that Mre Kuersteiner had a very important orchestra rehearsal that he was getting ready for, the program being two months in advance of the practices thorefore we did not get the dates eg | | Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Rducation and Recreation Varsity Basketball Coach FCAslig February 20, 1940.

That committee, the personnel of which is listed below, finds after inspecting classrooms and studying the class schedule that additional office space can be secured only be releasing rooms now used for classes. A study of the class schedules for both semesters of the current year showed that between 1:30 and 4:30 the lecture rooms were unused 709 hours a week in the fall and 720 hours a week in the spring. The committee found in addition that 309 hours a week in the fall and 315 hours a week in the spring were free for 3-hour classes meeting Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday forenoons. In order to determine the number of rooms that might conveniently be released from class use, the committee is asking that you redistribute your current lecture classes on two bases, using the attached survey forms for reporting. On Form 1 rearrange the schedule to utilize to capacity as many rooms as necessary, all day five days a week until 4:30 p. m. On Form 2 follow the same principle and in addition utilize each room, not otherwise in use on Tuesday and Thursday, for 3-hour classes meeting Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. . Your surveys will be studied carefully by the committee and a re- port made to the Chincellor to indicate how much, if any, additional office spice can be secured without imposing inconvenient class arrangements on any department. No change of any sort is contemplated during the current semester. Please return your survey forms to the secretary of the committee by February 21. Your prompt cooperation will be a great help to the committee in the study of a major University problem. Sincerely yours, E, B. STOUFFER PAUL B.

Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young. Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in thy houses they will be still praising Thee. Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways of Zion. Passing through the valleys of Weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings. They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer, give ear, O God of Jacob. Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine an- noited. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in Thee. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul into falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Lord’s Prayer Nordic Grand March ee ee Tue University BAnp RusseLtt L.

Dear Dr. Malott: This letter may seem a bit unusual to you, but the circumstances prompting it are in my mind considerably out of the ordinary. | | st A few days ago we had the pleasure of entertaining Director F. C. Allen and his basketball squad enroute te to the Bast. This particular phase of the situation be is certainly not unusual because during the year many ie athletic teams ranging from Y. M. C.A. squads to those ; of the Big Ten Conference stay at the Michigan Union. E The angle that I wish to comment upon is this. During by the many years that I have been associated with the b Michigan Union, I have never come in contact with a E : finer group of boys. It has been our experience that visiting athletic teams are the greatest souvenir hunte in the world. So often we find it necessary to check through their luggage before they leave the building and frequently we have to write to the coaches or athletic directors and ask for the return of articles which have been picked up. sie ES a a : The boys from your university were extremely courteous, | very well behaved and when they checked out in the : | morning every towel was neatly folded ana left at the bottom of each bed. The bathroom and showers were not in disorder; in fact, another team could almost ; have stepped into the room without any cleaning or maid service.

C. Allen University of Kansas Dear Phog: The story was a grand one, but the situation up at the Legislature right now makes me think it's inadvisable to do anything which would be construed as a slap at our friends up the river. We are working together to get the dormitory bonding bill through, and I have just invited the Legislature to come down here,and explained to them that they might not be able to have good seats on account of our crowded conditions. I question, therefore, whether we ought at the moment inject any other element into the legislative situation. Furthermore, the story looks like the opening of a _campaign for a field house, which I feel we are not at the moment in a position to pursue energetically; and therefore there may be some good steam wasted which might be hard to generate again. That sort of a story coming up in the middle of a campaign would be a good thing, but it is the sort of skyrocket that may be used only once and when it gets burned out the flare is gone and may be hard for us to get started again.

The schedule which you received from this office is, I am told, similar to that of previous years. “ I regret very much the fact that we have only one auditorium for all these activities. I am sure there has been an earnest attempt on the part of everybody concerned to avoid unnecessary conflicts. And concessions seem to have been made on all sides. We have tried to keep the lecture and concert events out of the way. However, much of the most important talent in both these fields is available only in midwinter. Eerly in March we plan to have another conference of all parties and interests concerned to arrange that all events scheduled for the Auditorium, and for anywhere else on the campus, shall be reported to this office at the beginning of the year. Otherwise, there is no clearinghouse for informa- tion. I am sorry of any inconvenience to our team. And I wish them well.
