It was suggested by the committee that the head of the Depart=
ment of Physical Education be made responsible for the recreation of
the students at the Univetsity of Kansase If that is quite agreeable
to you I would be glad to assume the responsibilityo As it is now,
there is no one definitely responsible for these extra-curricular
recreationsl activitiese ,

A mammoth student picnic and outdoor mixer at the opening of
school next fall has been suggested. We might call it a “studente
faculty day”, and ask some of our leading societies to sponsor ite
It occurred to me thet we might have this mixer on the quadrangle
and ask the different organized houses to pass up their evening meal
at their houses and buy a supper ticket on the campuse Our idea was
to have Miss Zipple supply the food, and the festivities would be
under the control of the proper committeee

Our notion was that we could leave the lights up that have
been erected for the Summer Session activities, and such games as
shuffleboard, ping-pong, badminton, volleyball, loop tennis, and so
forth, could be played. The band platforn could be in place and
could be used by the speakers and entertainerse

With some such program in the fall it would serve as an
excellent opportunity for student acquaintance, which is alweys
desirable at the opening of schoole Informal games would break
down the barrierse A less elaborate sort of thing would be @
desirable activity in early Maye If the quadrangle should prove
too small at any time it would be possible to use the stadium and
the play fields adjacent thereto, but the notion was that the quade
rangle would be much better located and in case of inclement weather
the gymmasium could be utilized.

Respectfully sutmitted,
