Dear Burts

! It was a pleasure to receive your letter of the 16th
instant, and I wish to thank you fer sending the outline of
procedure used in checking equipment from the towel room.
This will help Henry Shenk end Marvin Sollenberger in their
sduinistration of the towel room service.

You may be interested to know that Maurice Cannady
went to see Gene Tumney, and I believe that he will be
an Oh 06 A ghgniant instructor in this branah of The
services

Paul White, the two remaining majors who had not then been
place, have both obtained teaching jobs - Beims at Ellis,
Kansas, and White at Lyndon, Kansase I believe all of the
other men were placed earlier, and we feel very happy that
our majore are iponted.

I have written Roy Weinesttel of the Pred Medart Manu-
facturing Company about the Goalelii rule books, asking him —
to send you a couple of copies for your athletic officer at
Fresno. I am sure you will hear from Roy in a short time.

I talked to Miss Kenney over the telephone after I
received your letter, and learned why you have received no
compensation for your correspondence study work. The
Chancellor made a ruling, which became retroactive. This
is the way it came about. The correspondence study bureau
ran out of money a year ago, and they asked far $300 from
Raymond Nichols to pay these people and it came to the
Chancellor's notice. They dug up a twelve-year-old ruling
by the Board of Regents that anyone on the regular payroll
could receive no extra money for anything. They dug out
that ruling to save themselves $300, although they were
charging fees for the courses, as usual, but the fees had
to go into University funds.
