Just as a matter of clearing up the records I should state here that at an earlier meeting, on October 16, 1941, various minor changes were allowed in a few courses as follows: Changed the title of lla and lle (for women) and 19 (for men) to Softball, Changed the title ana description of 8a and 8b (for women) to Recreational Sports, Changed the number for 2a, b, co, to 48a, b, and c, and allowed changes in the description, Sincerely yours, Onf04 = a Paul B.

Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas My dear Dr. Allen: Evidently I did a bum job in expressing myself as I did about the matter of auditing physical activity classes. I really did not mean: to blame the department for anything, for if blame is to be assessed, this office is more blameworthy than your department for we were the ones who passed out the auditor's cards without which you would not have had the auditors. The facts are that for sometime my conscience has been bothering me about the way we were handling the matter; hence my letter suggesting that students should regularly enroll in these classes, either for credit or without credit. Evidently both Miss Hoover and Miss Stapleton have felt that enrollment as auditors was not satisfactory and prefer what we are now suggesting. I think, there- fore, that we are all agreed that requiring enrollment with or with- out credit is the best way to handle the matter. Will you be kind enough to let the members of your staff read this letter, which I trust ‘will explain things to their satisfaction. Sincerely yours, ; OS OG! Paul B. Lawson, Dean PBL:js PS. I am glad to see by the morning paper that you are to have a select bodyguard down at Norman on the 27th. However, the need for such a bodyguard is a commentary of some sort or other upon the sport- menship of the institution which feels that it should furnish it. T may be living in a fool's paradise, but I can not imagine such a thing being done on this campus.

GIVE FREQUENT EXAMS We urge you to give frequent examinations. This is especially important this year to provide an adequate basis for assign= ing grades to students who leave school suddenly to enter military service, EXCESSIVE ABSENCE REPORTS Please record all absences, and report to the College Office on excessive absence cards students whose attendance is unsatisfactory, We should like for you to pay particular attention to stu- dents who miss classes on Friday after~ noons. WHY HAVE ATTENDANCE REPORTS AND REPORTS OF UNSATISFACTORY WORK? We frequently tell people that students at the University receive individual attention, We point with some pride to the provisions which have been made on this campus for the student to obtain friendly counsel and guidance through our faculty advisory system, the deans' offices, and the offices of the men's and women’s student advisers, Parents like to think that their children are being looked after--that they are not February 16, 1942 lost among more than four thousand other students, The parents of a considerable number of students come to the College Office to disouss the progress of their children 4n school, Parents expest us to know whether their ohildren are attending classes regularly or not and they expect us to know what kind of work their ohil- dren are doing, This is one reason we ask for reports on excessive absences and on unsatisfactory scholastic work, Another reason is the fact that this in- formation enables us to help students who get off to a bad start, SOME NEEDS The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences 4s in a most hearty and satisfactory way adapting its work to the war needs of our students and community. These imme- diate needs are of tremendous importance and will receive our thorough and hearty attention, But we must at the same time remember post-war needs-~the needs of the days of peace which are to come, And in addition, of all people in the world, it is given to us to remember that "Man shall not live by bread alone"-— we must remember the total needs of life, So it is fitting that we ponder the words of President John J, Tigert of the University of Florida when he says, "The effort of avoiding the pit- falls of utilitarian and cash value types of education must be continued," VICTORY (Found on the body of an Australian sol- dier ) Ye that have faith to look with fearless eyes Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife, And know that out of death and night © shall rise The dawn of ampler life: Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart, That God has given you the priceless dower To live in these great times and have your part In Freedom's orowning hour, That ye may tell your sons who see the light High in the heavense=their heritage to takew-= "I saw the powers of darkness take their flight; I saw the morning break,” &llen oe 3 Fr-Soph - 1.77 dr-sr = 2.00 COLLEGE COMMUNICATIONS February 16, 1942 GRADES FOR 1940=!41 TABLE I Table I shows the grade point indices, or the number of grade points per hour of oredit, for each department, Students from other sohools of the University, though enrolled in College classes, are not included in this study, In other words, both tables deal with College students only, The first oolumn of figures shows the relative ranking of all departments giving College work in 1940-'41; the seoond column gives the ranking in 1939-40, The figures in parentheses to the right of the departmental names show the relative ranking for 1940—'41 of the College departments alone, f It seems that about 1,40 for Freshman-Sophomore work and about 1,70 for Junior-Senior work were the me@ian College departmental indices for 1940—'41, We are enolosing your own grade point index. It might be interesting to compare it with your departmental index and also with the College index, TABLE II Table II is, we believe, self-explanatory, Note that the first column of figures shows the number of enrollments of College students in the several departments, Obviously the small number of grades considered in some departments detracts from the significance of the several percentages shown, Below is a comparison of the percentages of grades shown in the last five studies for the College as a whole; ‘8 € 3 RE HE 1936=°37 : Me 68 88S $4 2,6 1937~'38 1.0 M4 84.4 .F i868 48 1938-.'39 i 63,0 M2 MS 18 4 1939—'40 4,7 2,9 7 wae 1.9 48 1940-'41 6.5 “So 4,7 2 t6 4,32 Note the quite general agreement of all the veroentages for all five years, Many people, both students and instructors, might be surprised to note that about half of the grades given during these years were A*’s and B's, Last year's grades show the highest percentage of A's, the highest per- centage of B's, and the lowest percentage of failures in five years, It is safe to say that never before have there been fewer poor students or more superior students in the College than now, Undoubtedly the many kinds and the large number of scholarships and their demand for superior work play a large part in producing these high grades, TABLE I GRADE POINT INDICES FOR FALL '40 = SPRING '41 Freshman-Sophomore Courses Junior-Senior Courses Rank Rank Department Index Rank Rank Department Index #0 30m “T40—- ~139— —at aa th wane 1 2 Music (Applied) 2,32 1 4 German (1) 2,33 2 9 Physical Education 1.80 2 5 Frenoh (2) 2,35 3 3 Design 1,79 3 6 Latin & Greek (3) 2.00 “4 7 Speeoh (1) 1.70 3 18 Botany (3) 2,00 * 5 5 Philosophy (2) 1.69 5 3 Spanish & Port, (5) 1,99 * 6 8 Psychology (3) 1,66 6 7 Musical Theory 1.98 7 5 Latin & Greek (4) 1.65 7 2 Physios & Ast.

I wish to call to your attention the letter from Dean Lawson, a copy of which is enclosed, concerning io auditors in Physical Education courses, | a Will you kindly let me have your resection to his suggestion, so that I may reply to his letter at the Seer iadh scbuthle sementt Sinserely yours, A Director of Physical Education and Recreation. ‘ THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES LAWRENCE February 10, 1942 OFFICE OF THE DEAN _Dr, Forrest C, Allen / Department of Physical Education My dear Dr, Allen: I have been intending for some time to take up with you and your department the question of the auditing of the courses in physical activity by College students. Your department has been allowing students to audit these courses, Two groups of students have bad this privilege: first, those who did not wish to attend regularly; and second, those who were taking a maximum program in their regular enrollment and who, therefore, were not ellowed to enroll resularily for physical education, I have been feeling for some time that this practice ought to be -looked into, In the first place, the catelogue on page 27 of Section I, under the peragraph “Auditing Fee," states: "Permis— sion to audit conveys only the privilege of hearing and observ— ing." This means thet students are not to do any of the work of the course which they may be auditing, Students allowed to do the work of the course as auditors are being permitted to ‘violate the University regulation, and the department is allow- ing such violation, In the second place, students ought not to be allowed to “beat the devil about the bush" by enrolling in a maximum program and then actually taking gym besides, even though they are listed as auditors in that work, I am, therefore, proposing that we issue no more auditor's cards for these activity courses, since to audit a course in physical activity (if auditor's privileges only are extroised) is a per- fectly anomalous thing. On the other hand, if for some reason the student does not want to take the course for credit, we would be perfectly willing to enroll him in the course for no credit, provided the work is counted in the maximum number of hours the student may take during that semester. This would keep the matter olear, for students enrolled in the course either for or without credit would be expected to do all the work of the course. If you or any of the members of your staff feel that we should not follow the procedure indicated above, I shall be glad to talk the matter over with you. : Sincerely yours, Paul B, Lawson, Dean PBL: fb February 15, 1962. i Ht i : ny i tii al i; sind bye j “gag BREE a¥8 eli j ie Hoa Rireoter of ?

Dear Dr, Allen: This is in answer to your letter concerning auditors. In my classes, when a student asked to be admitted as an auditor it was openly discussed with him that he was to attend and take part as the other students, otherwise I did not care to have him cluttering up the organization. I did not realize that this was breaking a University regulation, The college office, too, required that these students pay the same fee as the regularly enrolled, credit students which led me to think that they expected them to participate. In the light of the present emergency, with the crying need "physical fitness", coupled with the finding of the army examining board, the University should be doing everything possible to encourage vigorous physical activity. A walk across the campus between classes discloses sufficient evidence for the need here, Any student willing to use his time to such advantage, it seems to me, should be encouraged rather than discouraged from doing so. This is my own view on the matter. However, I shall cooperate with whatever is decided. Very sincerely, S24 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Feb ruary ie, 1942 Dr. F.C. Allen University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen, In having students audit our physical education classes, we have simply been following the orders which have come from the college office, When the auditor cards were first put into use, it was because the college office did not want non-credit physical education courses to appear on the students' enrollment cards. They said an auditor s card must be signed by the student, instructor and Dean and returned to the college office. They have known all the time that the students participated in the activity, because they have abked me to check and see that each auditor paid the same fees as the student who had to pay the locker and towel fee. 5 I think a student should be allowed to take physical education for no credit if she so desires. She may be more interested in an activity course than in going to the Union Building and spending the same number of hours over & coke and bridge. Our department has always preferred having the student put her physical education course for no credit on her enrollment. card. Then the scribe could have made out her class card instead of us bothering with the auditor's card. It would have saved time and trouble for both the department and the student. We have simply followed orders issued from the college office and I hardly think it is right we should be placed in the light of having broken University rulings. If the college office had told us, at the beginning of the semester, they wished to have this new order followed (one that we have always preferred) we would gladly have followed that procedure.

I am interested in contacts made over the state that help to create a favorable attitude towards the University, and the clinic at Dodge City is a splendid example of one such contact, I am very glad that you went to that particular section of the state, I will pass Toalson's letter on to the committee on relations with high schools, Sincerely yours, Pailhut Ubon Gilbert Ulmer Assistant Dean GU:dm COLLEGE COM: UNICATIONS NOTICE OF FACULTY MEETING The resgular meeting of the College fac- ulty will be held at 4:30 on Tuesday, November 18, in the auditorium of Frank Strong Hall, All members are urged to be vresent, CATALOGUE COPY We would like to urge all departments to drop from the catalogue the descriptions of all courses which have not been offer- ed for several years and which are not likely to be offered for several years to come, “e urge this because of our feeling that it is not quite fair to pro- spective students to give them the im— pression that the University offers them the opportunity to take many courses which are not actually available, Departments have, in the past, hesitated to drop courses from the catalogue be- cause it used to be rather difficult to fet them back in when that became desir-— eble, We believe this difficulty has disavpeared quite largely in the last few years and that there is no real dif- ficulty now in getting courses restored if the department requests it, We urge, therefore, that departments definitely consider the elimination of all descrip- tions of dead courses from the coming issue of the catalogue, making the usual reavest of the faculty for such elimina- tions, MINISTERS * CONFERENCE The University has always felt that it should afford leadership to many business and professional ¢roups of Fenseas citizens, It has, therefore, svonsored a freat many conferences of teachers, lawyers, doctors, welders, firemen, businesses of all sorts, etc, It has occurred to us that we have failed to give such leadership as we might have to the ministers of the state-— incidentally, a group who too frequently misunderstand us, We are, therefore, planning to have a one-day ministers' con- ference on Tuesday, December 2, to which all the ministers of Kansas and this area are being invited, For this conference we are bringing, as leader, one of America's Ppreatest preachers, Dr, Norman Vincent Peale, of the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, Dr, Peale is well known as the successful operator of a church clinic, where a psychistrist and preacher collab- orate in helpings people with their daily problems, He preaches to the largest Sunday night audience in New York City, November 17, 1941 He is the author of The Art of Living, now in its sixteenth edition, of You Can Win and of Faith is the Answer. For .six years he has been a National Broadcasting Company feature with his program on "The Art of Living," Dr, Peale was chosen by Warner Brothers as the technical religious director for their picture "One Foot in Heaven." This picture, which will be shown in Lawrence for the first time on December 2, is full of laughs and yet it places the Protestant minister, for the first time, in his rightful place in American life. We urge the faculty to help this con- ference in two ways: 1. Will you yourself attend the convo~ cation and urge your students to attend it? We consider this convocation so important that it will be broadcast and a permanent sound record of it made for distribution over the state, The high school principals of the state are being asked to let their schools listen in to this convocation also. 2. University funds may not be used to pay for feeding our guests, We believe it would be a very sracious gesture if we could announce to the preachers and their wives that they are the guests of the University faculty at the noon luncheon, which will be held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union Building at 12:30, We would like to urge you to attend this 50 cent luncheon and pay for the lunch of at least one visiting minister, This office will be gled to receive your contributions for this cause, THIS AND THAT "A wise man is like a straight pin, His head keeps him from going too far," "Cooperate!
