OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

February 23, 1943.

Dear Faculty Colleague:

I am addressing this inquiry to a small and selected group of
our faculty and staff who I am confident will respond to an emergency if
they can conveniently arrange to do so.

We are entertaining on March 12 and 13 a combined meeting of
the Kansas State Art Teachers Association and the High School Art Conference,
This will bring to the campus from 60 to 75 art teachers, in addition to
many high school students. We can arrange lodgings for the students at the
organization houses and dormitories but there are insufficient accommodations
available at the hotel or in rooming houses for the adults, principally
women ,

We will need accommodations for at least fifty women for
Friday night, March 12, and so far have located places for less than twenty-
five. In order to take care of the balance, it seems necessary that we ask
faculty members to open their homes for one or two guests that night, These
people expect to pay at least a reasonable price for the accommodations so
that you will be reimbursed enough to cover at least your laundry and inci-
~ental expense -- also maid service, if you are fortunate enough to have
that available. JI realize that many of us can arrange to entertain a guest
for a single night, if circumstances are favorable at the time, where it
would be tmpossible to provide a room regularly. So if you find that you
can help in this emergency, will you please call my office -- KU 87 -- to
report this and advise whether you can take more than a single guest.

Ordinarily, guests entertained in private homes have been
asked to pay 31.50 per night when occupying a room alone and not more than
1.00 per night for two occupying the same room, We will instruct those
enrolling for the conference that these are the usual rates unless you
prefer to set your own figure.

If you volunteer to assist, you will be called in advance
that day before any assignment is made, So do not plan definitely on this |
until you have received a call from my office.

Cordially yours,

| hawd Sey ane

Director,
HGI-DR

P.S. If you cannot help.this time, could you possibly
arrange to assist with any conference which may be held later this spring?

Dear Phog:

I trust that you have received before this time a copy of the
letter which was sent to all faculty and staff members concerning the
Community Chest drive. As you know, everyone was invited to return
his or her subscription through the campus mail, making it unnecessary
for anyone to take time for personal solicitation.

I invited everyone who might desire added information con-
cerning the various activities represented in the fund to call my
office with such a request. And, of course, some always expect a
second reminder before taking definite action.

So I am counting on you to follow up on the faculty and staff
members listed on the enclosed sheet. Each has received a pledge card
and you may check with my office at any time after Thursday noon for
the names of those who have returned their cards or remittances. If
your list names represent only the members of your department staff,
please make it a point to contact any members whose names have been
omitted. Such persons have not received the letter, so you will need
the information about the Community Chest budget and a pledge card
for them, Extra copies are enclosed for this purpose.

Thanks for your help on this drive.

Cordially LE Sz

Chairman, University Committee,
Community Chest Campaign.

P. S. It is not intended that students shall be asked to contribute

to this budget. So if you find on your list the name of an employee
who is here as a student and merely working to help in meeting his
school expenses, please explain to him that the letter was sent through
error and that no pledge is expected. However, do not make it im—
possible for such a person to contribute if he desires.

Dear Friends:

I have been designated by Mr. Ingham, chairman of the
University Committee of the Community Chest Drive, as the
individual to call upon the personnel in the gymmasiun.
Let your conscience be your guide in giving. But this
year the USO is included in the commmity chest campaign
and everybody is conscious of the great work the USO is
doing for all our soldier boys over the seven seas and
in every land.

I do not know what you care to give, but the general
practice for laborers, artisans and professional people
is to give the equivalent of one day's income. I will
appreciate your sending your contribution to Mr. Ingham
or if it is more convenient, if you will turn in your card
to my office, I will see that Mr. Ingham gets it posthaste.
Thanking you for your fine cooperation, I am

Dear Phog:

I wrote last Saturday to Henry Shenk, Joie Stapleton and
Vic Hurt, asking each of them to help on this drive. I assume that I will
‘not need to send any definite names to either Henry or Miss Stampleton.
But it may be that you would prefer to have Vic Hurt see certain members of
the coaching staff. Iffso, ask Mrs. Hulteen to call me to tell me which
names should be assigned him and I will get that information to him immed-
iately, checking those names off your list.

~

Thanks again for that splendid donation which you made.
Perhaps you noticed the item in the Journal-World last night to the effect
that the first check received showed an increase of 10%. I mentionedthis
at the report meeting yesterday noon and stated that it was your check --
but requested that others omit the name when referring tbh this donation.

As a matter of fact, I received several other checks in the
Same mail, but your's was evidently the first one written and was contributed
even before you had received a pledge card. So it represents the No. 1 dona-
tion in the K.U. drive this year.

Sergeant Kollender gets the credit for being the first one
to turn in a 100% report. He insisted that he preferred to see his group
personally rather than waiting the results of a mail campaign. And he had
secured subscriptions from every member of the Military Science Department
and all of the faculty group in Fowler Shops within twenty-four hours,

The mail response is very good, but I got started about two
days too late on this, so that there will be little opportunity for any
personal follow-up before Friday and Saturday. Asa result, we will not
know the definite outcome of the campus drive until early next wed.

Thanks again for your splendid support and help.

Cordially yours,

Chairman, University Committee,

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS

October 27, 1942

University Faculty and Employees:

Again this year we are asking your help in support of the
Lawrence Community Chest. And for the third successive year, those res—
ponsible for the Community Chest budget are looking to the University
community to subscribe its cuota in full. May we make our contribution
as a University family rather than to subscribe to the solicitation which
is being made in the residence district. We over—subscribed our quota
last year, contributing approximately $2300 of the total budget of
12,163.50. Let's equal that fine record.

The budget this year, printed on the back of the enclosed
circular, includes both the K.U. Y.M.C.A. and K.U. ¥,W,C.A. for the full
sums that have been raised in previous years from both faculty and towns—
people for the support of these organizations. There will be no other
campaign locally for funds for these organizations.

The Lawrence community now has more than 1,000 men in the
armed services of the country and our contribution to U.S.0. has been in—
creased to $4,000. This represents an increase of $16000 on that item,
alone, yet the total budget is only $1716.50 higher than last year. So
a small increase in our subscriptions or in the number of persons con-
tributing to the fund will enable us to attain the goal.

‘ The Community Chest campaign started this morning, following
the Kick-Off Breafast at Hotel Eldridge. A thorough canvass of the business
and residence sections of the city is being made through personal solici-
tation, But on the hill, so many members of the faculty and staff have
volunteered to return their subscriptions through the campus mail without
soliejtation that we are inviting all to respond in this way. The cam-
paign is to close next Friday so we hope that you can decide immediately
how much you wish to contribute and will return your pledge card immediately.
Pledges may be paid quarterly on Nov. 1, Feb. 1, May 1, and Aug. 1.

Should you desire further information on any of the organiza-—
tions included in the Community Chest budget or the purposes for which any
of this fund is to be used, there are faculty and staff members in every
building on the campus who have volunteered to render this service. Please
call my office to request additional information.

There will be no pressure exerted by anyone for a contribution.
Feel free to give as your conscience and vour pocketbook dictate. But if
you wish to know what others are giving, the contributions from the Univer-
sity faculty for the last two years averaged the approximate equivalent of
one day's earnings. The subscriptions varied from one-fourth to one-half
of one percent of the annual income in most cases. A few gave much more
and so:.e gave less, but the average was maintained.

May we have your signed pledge through the campus mail not
later than Friday, October 30, the last day of the drive?

Social Service League

The aim of the League is “To help the poor to help themselves.”
For thirty years the Social Service League has served the needy of
Lawrence. The efficient League Store, 905 Rhode Island street, provides
clothing and furniture to border-line cases at a nominal cost, and with-
out cost to those unable to pay. So far this year the League Kitchen
has canned over 13,000 quarts of produce for the tables of needy fami-
lies. In the Sewing Room about 3,000 garments have been made or
repaired.

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is an army that builds through its three point
program of, 1. Better religious education ; 2. Better characters ; 3. Better
health. All three of these mean better citizenship. During the past year
local people received Christmas baskets, emergency grocery orders, ©
clothes, and furniture; a large number of transients were assisted with
meals and lodging. The Salvation Army nursery was open 271 days
during the past year.

Girl Scouts

Girl Scouting is a-leisure-time, character building movement for .
girls from seven to eighteen years of age. There are nearly 300 Girl
Scouts in Lawrence, and over 100 adults assisting in the work. The
year-round program includes homemaking, arts and crafts, sports and
games, health and safety, community service and international friend-
ship.

Boy Scouts of America

Today the paramount need in national defense is the strengthening
and invigorating of Democracy in the United States which is the aim
of the Boy Scout movement. Lawrence with 11 Troops and 3 Cub
Packs, has 330 Scouts and Cubs. More than 100 adults assist.

Joint Christian Council

The war emergency program prevents Hi-Y and Gir] Reserves
from functioning as formerly. The Joint Christian Council is composed
of the cabinets of these organizations. The Council promotes character
building and religious activities of the high school. They sponsor
religious assemblies for the entire student body with worship programs
with religious leaders as speakers.
University Y. W. C. A. |

The Y.W.C.A. is a Christian organization which reaches out to
help supply the religious needs of all women at the University of
Kansas. At the same time, it provides a channel for practical expres-
sion of the Christian faith.

University Y. M. C. A.

Five hundred and sixty-five students are members of the Univer-
sity of Kansas Y.M.C.A. which has as its program this year religious
activities, cooperation with local and campus agencies, and freshman
orientation. Five Bible study groups will be held and members inter-
ested in the underprivileged will cooperate with the local recreational
center. In addition to the above program the Y.M. this year is doing
everything possible to help in the war efforts.

4-H Clubs

The annual Fair of the 4-H Clubs provides a place where the sons
and daughters in farm families can display their work and progress.
This great program encourages these young people to be better farmers,
farm wives, and citizens. Cash awards for winning entries at the an-
nual fair provide an incentive to participate in the program.

U.S. 0.

United Service Organizations — USO — is a national agency
formed in March, 1941, to meet the off duty recreational, social, and
spiritual needs of our Armed Forces and the Forces Behind the Lines.
USO as a single agency coordinates the efforts of six great national
welfare agencies—The Young Men’s Christian Associations, the Na-
tional Catholic Community Service, The Salvation Army, the Young
Women’s Christian Associations, the Jewish Welfare Board, and the
National Travelers Aid Association. By the end of June, 1942, more
than 750 USO Clubs and units had been established, principally in
communities adjacent to army camps and naval stations. It is planned
co establish more than 1,000 by June, 1943.

There are in excess of one thousand men in the armed forces from
this community. These men, together with hundreds more to go, will
benefit directly through the various USO activities in all parts of the
world.

Fellow Faculty and Staff Members:

I am asking your assistance on the Community Chest drive — in
making the canvass of the University faculty and employees. I appreciate
that I should have called you by telephone or that I should at least be
addressing this communication to you personally. But I haven't found
time for this, and the drive opens next Tuesday. I know that you will
pardon this impersonal approach — and will respond just as enthusiasti-
cally to the call for help.

I recognize that you are extremely busy this year. We all are,
especially those who have the reputation for getting things done. And,
of course, that's the reason we need your assistance on this worthy
project.

The task will be made as easy as possible for everyone this vear.
The first letter to faculty and employees will request their donation
or pledge card by mail. So your responsibility will be limited to fol-
lowing up personally on those who fail te respond, and to giving infor-
mation on the Community Chest to any individual on your list who re-
quests a personal interview, Your assignment will be limited to a
single department or staff, or to not more than twelve persons in case
you consent to canvass more than one department.

We all believe in the Community Chest — certainly we do if we
nave had the experience in earlier years of soliciting funds for one
of these causes after the canvass has been completed for several of
the others. This is everybody's job, and I am hoping that we may
count on your efficient assistance, as usual, in going “over the top"
on this.

Please call my office, K.U. 87, Monday, in case you cannot
serve. And if I do not hear from you immediately, I will know that
you are awaiting your definite assignment.

Cordially yours,

ei Nig an

Chairman, University Committee

P.S. IMPORTANT! The Kick-Off Breakfast for workers will be held at the
Eldridge Hotel on Tuesday, October 27, at 7:30 a.m,.This will be your
opportunity to get specific information on all of the activities in— :
cluded in the Community Chest this year and the need for the funds
allotted to each. Please attend if you can conveniently arrange this.

Dear Dr. Allen

Please accept my sincere thanks for the splendid job
that you did in carrying through on the Community Chest Drive.
Your prompt and effective assistence deserved immediate recog-

» nition and something more then a simple "thank you". But in the
rush of the past week I have not found time to call the many
persons who helped so enthusiastically on this; and I shall
feel under obligation to express my appreciation in assisting
wherever I can on similar activities. So count on me as one
of the workers whenever you have a similar responsibility.

The fact that the Community Chest Drive went over the
top attests to the enthusiastic effort of all of the workers.
We still lack less than $100.00 of meeting the K. U. quota and
this also will be oversubscribed since there are a number of
faculty and staff menbers who have not yet responded. So if
anyone should ask, you can assure him that it is not too late
to accept his subscription at this time.

Again meny thanks for your help in getting the 100%
response from your list. -
