THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

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.

With best personal regards, I remain
