In view of the government's most recent ruling regarding the selectees’ induction into the Army, we feel it is not expedient to send through reguler appointments for these young men. For that reason we shall take care of their salaries on the irregular payroli. an Sincerely, : Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pe Varsity Basketball Coach Deen George B. Smith Fraser Hall Campus Dear Dean Smith, I am signing T.P. Hunter, Jr.'s application for practise teaching. I realize the grade point average in all work is slightly belew the standard required by the University. I have seen this young man grow since he entered the University, He came from a small texas high scheol where but five teachers were employed and where doubtless some of the teaching was not tip-top. He moved on to Oklahoma City for his senior work and entered here as & freshmen four years ago. He failed in his first semester in ten. .. hours of worke-five hours in American People and five hours in Socéél Science Survey. Hunter came to me and said he did not believe he was | “smart enough” (as he put it) to make the grade in this university. ' He stated that he had had a poor high school background and had not learned to study correctly. His honesty and bearing made a big hit with moe I said to him-"Yes, you are, Bunter. This University is built for fellows as honest and daring as you ars." He re-enrolleé in his second semester thanks to the broad mindedness of Dean Schwegler and the School of Education, and he has not failed one hour since. T.P. Hunter is one of the most highly respected boys on the campus, and it is for this reason and other equally good reasons thet I gladly sign his card of application. Mr. Hunter's draft number came up in August and he was deferred until February with the provision that he complete his college course this semester. Seventeen hours are necessary fer his graduation. If he had not been drafted he would have planned to take his practise teaching the second semester and would have had a higher grade point average.

Smith Prager Hall University of Kansas Dear Dean Smith, , Please find enclosed my signature on applicetions for supervised teaching for the various students desiring to teach physical education.
