Mr, Raymond Nichols Chaneellor's Office, University of Kansas, Dear lp, Nichols; i wish to call your attention to the unsightly appearance of the flioor ani walls in the hallway in front of my office. The boards in the floor from the west entrance to the buiiding running past my office to the larger hallway are so decompesed pb there are large cracks and holes in the OP « The area underneath the stairway and the walis in this hall are very badly in. need of paint. I think it has been several years Since anything has been done here, and a coat of white paint on the plastered wall as well as se on the wainscoting would be a great improve- MenGe : I trust you will do what you ean to have this situation remedied. I assure you we shell greatly appreciate your prompt attention, With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, Chancellor E, H. Lindley, University of Kansas, Dear Chancelior Lindley: I appreciate your letter of the 28th instant regarding the use of the ioe seen for the. Teachers’ Convention, and realize that you have a problem in such ai tuations. Ye, of course, wished to continue with our class schedule as much as possible, and had hoped that the teachers attending the con- vention would find us here on the job. In setting Wp our new department we feel that the quality of our work will be higher with fewer interruptions. | However, we are glad to cooperate with the University in being host to the Kansas State Teachers’ Association, and will meet as many of our classes as we can in other locations. With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, | Director of Physical Education. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF October 28, 1937 THE CHANCELLOR Dr. F. C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Forrest: Dean Schwegler has shown me your note concerning the use of the gymnasium for the Kansas Teachers Association. I am sorry that this meeting interferes with your class schedule. The matter can be taken up before the next meet- ing of the Association. Meanwhile, you understand that all state organiza-~ tions have certain specifications as to space and the like which we attempt to satisfy. It is a highly competitive situation. And we, of course, must do what we can to con= tinue to attract such meetings to this campus. But we shall do all we can to protect our academic schedule.

Allen 100 Robinson Gymnasium University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I have gone over the list of Thursday and Friday clesses in physical education and am making suggestions which I hope will call for a minimum number of class dismissals during the meeting of the State Teachers' Association on November 5 and 6. I have arranged the classes on the attached sheets in order of the hour, with a suggested meeting place for each class. You will note that I have suggested the use cf the basketball court all day Thursday. Since the first meeting on the floor will not be held until Friday afternoon, I am asking the Build- ings and Grounds department not to move in the chairs until Friday morning. I should like to have you check over the sug- gestions with members of your steff and advise me of their re- action. I hope that the suggestions which I have made are satisfactory. But if any of them is not, I shell be glad to try to make more suitable arrangements.

Although the requisition is not in accordance with this regulation, I am asking the State Business Manager to make an exception this time. Cooperation of members of your staff in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours, RAYMOND NICHOLS, Executive Secretary. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE «ner OFFICE OF September 14, 1937 THE CHANCELLOR Dr. F. C. Allen University of Kansas My dear Dr. Allen: During your absence I approved the temporary appointment of Mrs. Pauman as Assistant in Physical Education for the first semester. Miss Hoover advised me that she had had no success in finding someone for the place and, therefore, recommended Mrs. Bauman. I reminded her of the family relation- ship rule and agreed to the appointment for one semester only. It will be necessary, then, to have lines out for someone else for the second semester. We should be fortunate, indeed, to find anyone as competent as Mrs. Bauman, but the rule com plicates her appointment. I was glad, also, to sign the appointment blank for Mrs. Alberta Hulteen. That again raises a question. Mr. Hulteen, I understand, is not now in secure employment. But in case he does succeed in securing an adequate means of subsistence, I think we should try to keep to the rule of employment of wives of men who have jobs. There are still one or two cases of that kind in the staff, but we hope that situation will change soon. Meanwhile, you have in Mrs. Hulteen a very dependable secretary, and I am glad for you both. I hope to see you soon to hear about your vacation and to discuss with you some problems in the new courses in Physical Education. With every good wish, I am Faithfully yours, OPERATING NEEDS AT THE Sag ERE a ONE aS eR ETN am ITSP Seg ie eS TREND OF ENROLLMENT, FACULTY AND APPROPRIATIONS, 1929-1936 (Using figures for 1929-30 as basis of 100 per cent.) e te = 3 s = 3 a s S nw a & 8 3 & 3 a 3 Per = = = = = = S Soe Cent} Cent 110 110 100 -}— 100 “N Ina a 90 Ney 4s Appropriations 70 70 1929-30 1930-31 1931-32 1932-33 1933-34 1934-35 1935-36 1936-37 ENROLLMENT UP, STAFF AND RESOURCES DOWN The urgency of the need for budget relief is indicated in the chart above. The current enrollment is 7 per cent greater than that of the pre-depression peak of 1930, while the teaching staff is 4 per cent less and appropriations are 26 per cent less than in 1930. The acuteness of the situation is shown more in detail in the statement on the following pages. Alumni Can Help University In Critical Time at Hand Decision as to what kind of a University the state is to have will be made by the 1937 legislature which meets in January. The Alumni Association officials ask alumni everywhere to help present the case of the University to members of the legislature—a fair and interested group indeed who will give fair consideration to the problem when it is presented to them. The University’s budget situation this year is especially severe and significant from several unrelated but converging causes. Restoration of all, or at least part, of the reduced operating budget seems imperative. Too often the reduction in the institution’s operating funds is thought of as being dated from the legislative cut enacted in 1933. The fact is that, by request of the then Governor and the Board of Regents, 10% of the funds appropriated for use of the University for the 1931-32 year was turned back to the state treasury. For the 1932-33 year 25% was turned back, nearly as much as the legislative cut, which came in 1933. So, by next July, the University will have run on a reduced budget for six years. Vacancies Hard to Fill During that time resignations have taken many outstanding staff members, but ’ death has taken the following list of leaders: ex-Chancellor Strong, who was teaching law, Dean Brandt of the College, Dean Shaad of the School of Engineer- ing, Professors Hodder, Owen, H. A. Rice, and Thurnau, all department heads, and Professors O’Leary, Ashton and Charles Sterling. Two more outstanding professors who had been on the retired list, Drs. Bailey and Dunlap, also were taken. Prof. Eugenie Galloo, head of the French department, retired last spring, and six more of the University’s best will retire next spring. This list of nineteen comprised a significant proportion of the supporting framework for the Univer- sity structure. They had come to the staff years ago and would stay on almost regardless of salary. To take their places, however, it either has been or will be necessary to bring in persons at salaries somewhere near those paid in other comparable institutions and with assurance that reasonable treatment may be expected in the future. The University of Kansas started into the depression period with salaries 11% to 16% under that paid by most other mid-western Universities. The fact that the Kansas cut was deeper than most others and that most others have now had partial or complete restoration, makes the Kansas scale so far under the others, even those immediately surrounding the state, that the University will be at a severe disadvantage in competition for competent persons to take the places of leaders she has lost. Reserve Balances Exhausted Since 1933 the enrollment has increased more than 900, necessitating additional maintenance, expenditures and employment of many part-time instructors and office assistants. This expansion, far from adequate for satisfactory administration and instruction, has been financed from reserve balances. Since these reserves will be exhausted during the current year, some additional income is necessary to maintain even the present budget. Not Enough Instructors The present enrollment is 370 greater than that of 1930, the previous high year, yet the instructional staff is about 10 less. This means larger classes, heavier teaching schedules, less attention to individual students—in a word, instruction below accepted standards. In addition, most of the expansions made since 1933 have been of a temporary nature—inexperienced, inexpensive young instructors or part-time graduate assistants. In the interest of good instruction, part of this temporary staff should be replaced with more experienced, permanent personnel. Equipment Needs Accumulate During the past six years the maintenance allotments to departments and offices had to be cut out of proportion to the appropriation reduction in order to maintain certain essential items which could not be cut (fuel, power, water, gas, postage, books, telephone service, etc.) This necessitated rather general postponement of the regular program of class and laboratory equipment replacement, as well as curtailment or elimination of important student services. The result is a critical accumulation of needs that must be relieved soon if instruction is not to suffer further. Repair Program Lags Compared with 1915 the current appropriation for repairs and improvements has increased only 50 per cent while the building volume to be maintained has increased 110 per cent. The result is that major repairs have been eliminated, routine maintenance (repainting, rewiring, etc.) has been greatly reduced, and minor improvements have been limited to emergency items. Acute at Medical School The data above applies only to the Lawrence division of the University. The situation at the Medical School at Kansas City is perhaps more acute than that at Lawrence, due to the fact that the enrollment increased rather than decreased during the depression years. Spirit Is Good The spirit of the University is good. Student activities go forward with the same old enthusiasm. Progress is noted in many departments, examples of which are chemical engineering, public school music, law, medicine, and several others. But students and their parents are more concerned now than ever before regarding the kind of training they are getting throughout the University. Deans and de- partment heads are finding that it takes a nation wide search to get capable replacements for staff members. The only way they are able to fill key positions with strong persons at all is by finding some special case, perhaps in a small college, and then paying the new person more than his predecessor received. The administrators and friends of the University are determined that the quality of training at the University shall remain high so that a degree from Kansas in any department will continue to be recognized anywhere as a stamp of excellence. State officials are uniformly interested and friendly. But the University’s prob- lem is only one of several demanding attention of the next legislature. The others are worthy. But the University needs attorneys at the bar to plead its case in the busy days ahead. THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR April 20, 1938 Dr. F. C. Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: This will acknowledge your letters of April 13 and 15, which I referred to the Budget Committee for discussion on April 18. We recognize the need for considerable new equip- ment in physical education and wish it were possible to grant all your requests. The state of our funds makes it impossible to do this. The Committee has asked me to advise you that we are recommending to the Chancellor a regular allowance of $1900 and a special item of $450. Together with an estimated fee income of $1900 and a salary item of $800 for towel room assistance, your income for the next year will be approximately $5050. Deducting your estimated regular expenditure items of $3450, it would leave a balance of $1450 for teaching equip- ment. Just what these items should be, the Committee leaves entirely to your judgment. Inasmuch as your balances for the current year are already encumbered, we recommend that the installation of the two circulating fans be postponed until July first and included in the budget for the new fiscal year. In making up the biennial requests next fall it is our intention to include a special item for equipment needs which have accumulated over the recent depression years and which cannot be met from the regular maintenance appro- priation. Included in this total should be the larger items of equipment which you need but are unable to purchase from your current budget. You will receive a call for this report at an early date.
