Mre de Ec Kissell, Clerk
The City of Portis
Portis, Kansas

Dear Mr. Kissell:

A

I received your letter of July 26 yesterday and was glad to hear from
you and to learn that Max is out of the Navy and planning to come back to KeU.

You ask about Max teaching in the Physical Education Department heres

At present our staff is complete for next year with the exception of a boxing
instructor. I do not know whether or not Max could qualify for this. The pay

would not be very large, $1.50 per hour, but the class meets only three hours {
a week, I would be glad to have him teach this boxing cless, if he has had

enough experience with boxing. This is the only opening we have at the present

time and I do not anticipate any other opening before school opend this fall.

: As far as living quarters are concerned, it is almost impossible to
locate suitable apartments-or hougese I have had two different parties for whom
I have been trying to locate apartments for several months and as yet have found
no clue. However, there may be some quarters at Sunflower Ordnance out near
DeSoto, if Max would care to live there. A number of ovr veterans are living
there with their families. If he is interested in securing living accommodations
there or elsewhere, I would suggest*that he write to Mr. Irven Youngberg, Hous-
ing Director, University of Kansas, and have Mr. Youngberg put him on the list.
In the meantime, I will keep my eyes open for anything that might turn upe

I am sorry. that I cannot be of definite assistance in this matter. ;

Very sincerely yours, :

Henry Ae Shenk,
Chairman of the

“HAS UF . Department of Physical Education.
