Mr, Ce Ae Hardy
Hugoton, Kansas “

Dear Mr. Hardy:

° Your letter of January 11 has remained unanswered for
a considerable length of time. I am sure.that you can understand the
reasons Now that basketball season is over and I have a little time to
write I wish to inform you that I did appreciate your letter and to
know that your son, Don, is interested in coming to Kansas University
next fall. —

Since you mentioned the fact that he would probably
make a decision as to where he would go to school sometime in May,
I thought it about time tow ite and give you the information that you
desired concerning the approximate cost per month here at KeU. 0
course, you understand that anywhere you attend school the cost depends
entirely upon the individual and his desires and activities, However,
based upon the average student here at present I would say that the
minimum cost per month, as far as living expenses is concerned, would ,
be approximately $40.00. The tuition and the school expenses for a
state student runs at about $50.00 a semester. Should the boy want
to join a fraternity and live in otherwise higher circumstances, the
cost would naturally exceed that which I have quoted,

I hope that this gives you a fairly good idea of what
to expect in the way of expenses should Don decide to come to the
university next fall, It is possible, and probable that he can get.
help in the way of a job to alleviate this expense for as long as he
desires. At present there are more jobs than there are — to

Hoping that Don may be able to come up and look over
the tampus re before he makes up his mind during the next two
months, I am

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
