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,
