Dean R. As Schwegler, School of Biucation. _ : Dear Dean Schweg ler : Iam sorry that I was forced to leave the Senate meeting yesterday afternoon. I hed my boys on the floor in varsity basketball practice and it was necessery for me to return to them. I slipped over for the action on the Mquita- tion courses, and as soon as thet was over I returned to my | boyse I am sorry that I was not present to eid in what discussion was necessery in regard to the Cammittee on Physical Nelfere and Recreation. 4. Elbel came in and explained to irs. _ Hylteen the discussion thet took place after my leaving. It wes his feeling that the Senate wanted to conbine the two committees, the Athletic Committee and the Comittee on Physical Welfare and Recreation. | | ; I just hed an oppertunity to talk to Dr. Kester over the phone regarding my application to him as chairman of the Senate _Advisery Comittee regarding the course in Equitetion, and in dis- cussing with him the matter of the two committees I explein to him that the Board of Regents hed stated thet no coach carld be a member of the Athletic Committee and that of course prec luded my name from being on that camittee, if they had one Athletic Committee. However, the Boerd rescinded that rule when they put Me. Gwinn Henry back on the Athletic Camittee,. , I would feel much embarrassed to be on that committee et the present time with the present Boerd of Regents. Far thet reason I am hoping, as I told Dr. Kester, that they will na con- bine those camittees because I am much interested in being on the Committee on Physical Welfere and Recreation, But I am adverse to being @ member of the athletic beard. For thet reason I trust they will keep them seperate. : I am merely explaining these points to yo so that you will understend my reaction. I am hoping that we can go forward with the Physical Welfere and Recreation Comittee in e way thet will be @ positive benefit to the student body and the University as a whole.

OFFICE OF THE DEAN THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF EDUCATION LAWRENCE September 18, 1939 Dr. Forrest C. Allen 105 Robinson Gymnasium The University of Kansas My dear Dr. Allen: The Committee on the Administration of the University Teachers' Diploma sympathetically considered both of your letters of recommendation but felt that in view of the fact that it was rigidly insisting on the scholastic requirements in all other departments common fairness demanded that the same standards be asked for in physical education which are currently observed by other departments of the University. It is my personal opinion that for the next two or three years it would be wise to take the attitude of the committee rather seriously because as soon as students learn that the committee is quite insist-— ent upon standards for practice teaching they will plan to meet the minimum standard in general scholar- ship and difficulties will disappear as they have disappeared in connection with all the other divi- sions of the University which are concerned. I shall be glad to talk this matter over with you personally at your convenience if you wish to do S0. Sincerely yours, ond A.
