Dear Sirs

I have just talked with Dr. E, R. Elbel, Associate Professor of
Physical Education of the University of Kansas, about my qualifi-
cations for the physical education work which is available in

your department.

I will have at the end of this semester thirty hours of Physical
Education and by the end of the year, I will have my master's de-
gree in Education and Physical Education. I have also four years
experience as director of athletics and physical education in
public schools. I am now employed as Assistant in the Department
of Physical Education at the University of Kansas, and as Director
of all intramural sports, physical education instructor and coach
at the Lawrence Junior High School.

If I should be called within the next few months, and if, in your
opinion, I would qualify for such a position, would it be possible
to be deferred until I could finish and obtain my master's degree
this dune?

Since my classification is "1-H", it is quite likely that I may be
called before it would be possible to obtain my degree.

I am 29 years of age and single.

If this could be arranged, I would like to have an application to
fill in so that if and when I em called, the preliminary steps

would be taken care of and I could continue with the type of work —

which I have been doing.

I should like to hear from you soon.

Yours truly,
