seems to me the head of te Department of Physical Education ought to
assume that responsibility. :

I have answered both 3 and 4 in the same breath.

(5) The responsibility for keeping the grounds attractive, if at
the stadium, is of course that of the superintendent of stadium. If at
the University, it is the ‘Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, who
is a graduate engineer, and has charge of all buildings and grounds.

For our physical education grounds, if you speak of those, the
man that I mentioned above, the superintendent of stadium, regardless cf
where the grounds are, if they are used for intramural or physical educ-
ation activities, we assume our chare of expense in having him ~ these

up.

(6) Qutside of the sheck room man, we only use two men, ‘the super-
intendent of stadium and his assistant, and in addition the mmber of -
students that he wants: to hire. Trt we do not hire a lot of students :
merely for them to draw pay. I have mde it absolutely Sper, that
we only have men who will work.

In answering your questions in a general way, we have found that
when we handle the problems through the Buildings and Grounds Department
that we pay excessively for our work. They have a cost-plus basis, and
the cest is much higher then if we hire our own nen at so much @ month,
and get them to do odd jobs here and there for both the Athletic Depart-
ment and the Physical Edueation Department. Wo Tink we have 5 wary
efficient set-up. This work is also performed for the women's department ©
for their hockey field, and so forth. All the work clears through our
office. Every request must com to our secretary and we clear. through
the office. There is no overlapping, no misunderstanding, and we are

very happy in our arrangement.

, Answering your postseript in regard to gym menagement, as I told
you, we have a very efficient young man in ow Department of Physical —
Education who was head ef a department in a large high sehool in Western
Kansas. He makes out the schedules for our personnel on all classes,
keeps the gymasium appointments properly set up; in fact, he has the
say as to how they shall be handled, the placing back of equipment by
different instructors, and so forth. If any of these people fail to do
their allocatted jobs, he reports to me and I naturally have a conference om

¢ with the nembers failing to do their job. °

Tt all reverts back to the head of the departuent, after all, to
see who is ruming the show. |

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
