It is a pleasure to entertain you. Judge Sbarbaro wishes me to express to you his thanks for your kindest compliments. Your feelings toward him are reciprocated to the nth degree by his Honor. The following is the translation that you wish to use at the dinner: A Jewish boy living in a small town had graduated from Prep school with the highest honors. His father being very thrilled regarding this stated to the boy, "My son, as a reward for your wonderful record I am going to let you pick any College in the country. You can attend any College that you desire." The boy asked for a few days during which to think the matter over. About a week later the boy met with his father and said, "Well, Dad, I have picked the college that I want to go to." "Fine," said the father, "I don't care anything about the ex- penses. JI have one son and he has made me happy and I want to make him happy. What College have you chosen?" "Dad," said the boy, "I have decided to go to Notre Dame." The father looked at him in amazement. "Notre Dame!" with dis- appointment showing upon his face. “Notre Dame!" he exclaimed. "Why, . Sam, with all these wonderful colleges throughout the country, Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Kansas University, Princeton, Northwestern, why did you have to pick a Catholic school? What will our neighbors think? What will the Rabbi say? The boy answered stubbornly, "You told me that I could pick any school that I wanted. It's Notre Dame that I want to go to. So reluctantly the father kept his bargain and sent him to Notre Dame and cautioned him not to forget the teachings of his own DE PAUL UNIVERSITY © DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS 2235 Sheffield Avenue » Chicago * Illinois « Telephone Diversey 4340 ATHLETIC BOARD DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Hon.

Six months later at the approach of the Holy Jewish Holi- days, Yom Kippur, which is the holiest holiday in the Jewish re- ligion, the father sent a wire to his son at Notre Dame as follows: "My dear son, do not forget Yom Kaippur starts tomorrow." He received an answering wire as follows. "I am glad Yom . Kippur starts tomorrow. Put Ten Dollars on his nose. I will say three Hail Mary's andlwpe to hell he comes in first." You can also tell them the one about the athlete who was failing in his studies and who was met by the Professor of History in the corridor. The Professor was a great basketball fan and was quite anxious to have the boy pass his examinations and stated, to the boy, "I wish you would do something about your studies, why don't you sit down and work on your History?" The boy in a very gruff voice answered, "Gee, I ain't got no time for nuttin but me English." I hope your dinner goes over Doctor, and I know that you will make a big success of it.

This basketball team operates as part of the recreation program of the Reception Center and part of the activities of this Section, under the direction of Lt. Stanley Flynn, who is absent on detached service and therefore has asked me to write this letter. Lt. Flynn and myself also appreciate personally the courtesy which you extended. We also wish to mention specifically the extreme courtesy of the non-commissioned officer on duty at the R.O.T.C. at K.U. who assisted so courteously in arranging for the comfort and convenience of our party. Lt. Flynn is a graduate and former player at Creighton Uni- versity, and I am sure he enjoyed the basketball game, although of course he did not like the result. As a K.U. graduate, I of course enjoyed both the game and the result. Thanking you again I am, Sincerely yours, HAROLD F. MATTOON, Major, Infantry, Special Services Officer. ‘| i | Mr. Louis E.

Atlon Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Doe: Well, we played this Naval Station team quite a game. =Led them at the half 24-18 - tied up 42 all with thirty seconds to play. A free throw in the last fifteen seconds finally beat us. Now as to their personnel. Calihan will probably start at center. He did egainst us. In the elutch he will be in the ball game. He is left-handed, plays in the hole position and will swing off to his owm right using ‘a left- handed hook. Will play deep enough so I think you can put your guard in front of him. Schneider did pretty well on him. Klein will probably start at one forward and he also will play close around the basket. A very good tip-in man. You must have a big man on him. He is one of the first men down in the break. - In the clutch he, too, will probably be in the game. Klein is a right-handed shooter and you can play him to whirl off and shoot with his right hand. Lobsiger started at the other forward and did not look strong at all. When Baumholtz comes into the game have a darn good man on him. He is just 5'10", and very fast. Very shifty and a good scorer. He is one of the first men down on their break. Andres will probably start at guard. Fine long shoot- er. We did a good job on him to hold him to one basket. Incidental- 4 ly I think Baumholtz is their leading scorer. Currie is their team 4 captain and started at the other guard. A fine defensive man but I do not think too good a scorer. Did not score against us. Andenr- son will come in at guard and he is a fine dribbler and a good shot. Hit three baskets against us. Adams, from Arkansas has that two- handed jump shot. He looked great last year when Arkansas played in Kansas City, but did not look too good against us. Can be played close, - has to be in order to stop that shot of his. Menke, whom Dr. F. GC. Allen - February 4 - Page 2 - you know, just played a few minutes against use I believe he _has an injured foot or an injured hand. This team plays a straight man-to-man defense. They will strive for a _fast break at all times. They use nothing set on offense, varying from a 2-3 formation to a 3-2 formation. Just sort of milling around. They naturally are very fine ball handlers. To sum up the whole personnel, | watch Calihan, Baumholtz, Klein and Andreson particularly.

We expect to take care of our customers in the usual manner during Januery, but needs must be guided by allotments specified by OPM beginning with the month of February. We are, therefore, attaching one copy of "Instructions for Preparation of Form PD-190" and four copies of Form PD-190. Please note that persons requiring Chlorine must place their orders with us on or before the 10th day of the month preceding that in which they require Chlorine. Therefore, the forms should be in our hands by January 10 covering the Chlorine required for February. Only a small quantity of instructions and forms have been received, so we have had additional forms printed. We realize that time will not allow all customers to forward to us the 10th of January, but please rush them as soon es possible, and we will try to get them in to the Office of Production Management so that they can determine your February allotment. We are informed this method of securing Chlorine must pe followed each month until further notice. MONSANTO CHEMICAL COMPANY TJS :MM INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF FORM PD-190 This application form is prescribed pursuant to the requirements of Amendment No. 1 to General Preference Order M-19. : Prepare application in quadruplicate; forward original, duplicate, and triplicate with order to sup- plier, retain quadruplicate for your file. Persons requiring Chlorine must place their orders with their suppliers on or before the 10th day (the 5th day if the supplier is a distributor) of the month for the total quantity of Chlorine requested for delivery during the succeeding month. Suppliers who are distributors will forward the original and duplicate copies of all PD-190 forms received by them together with their own application on PD-190 to reach the producer on or before the 10th day of the month. Upon the basis of applications received on or before the 10th day of each month for delivery during the succeeding month, the producer, on or before the 15th day of such month, will file with the Director of Priorities on Form PD-191 his proposed schedules of deliveries to be made during the succeeding month together with the duplicate copies of all PD-190 forms received by him for that month. Such schedules will allot the Chlorine to be available for delivery in accordance with preference ratings, with preference given (where available Chlorine is insufficient to fill all orders) to higher rated orders. If there is any question as to the propriety of any preference rating assigned to any order, the pro- ducer will immediately take up the question with his customer and, if agreement cannot be reached, either the producer or the customer may refer the question to the Director of Priorities for determination. The Director of Priorities will approve the producer’s delivery schedule, or make such changes as may be deemed advisable to meet defense and essential civilian requirements and to make an equitable distribution of the residual supply, and return the schedule by the 25th day of the month to permit the producer to make deliveries during the succeeding month. Applications must be confined to the minimum quantities required which are commensurate with economic delivery and permissible inventories.

G Dd, Mott, Mott Stables, University Drive, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Mr. Mott: I appreciate your letter of January 12th, and fully appreciate your desire to have more students enroll in equitation. For the present, however, we are going to hawe to follow exactly the courses as already outlined. There is no chanee to change that now in the light of the recent reorgenization of the physical activity classes. You mentioned that you have lost severc] stud- ents due to the war, and I am afraid that you are going to lose many, many more. 1 would be glad to talk with you, but from all the advice that I get things are going to be tougher and tougher. I am a poor one to offer advise, but if I were offering any advice I would advise you to get rid of all your horses at once at the best pkesible figure. In another six months the students are not going to have for equitation and a lot of other so-called (by their par- ents) luxuries. ae Whole industries are about to be curtailed and some of them done away with entirely. The plan is to force people into war production as a substitute for a vacuum. They will foree them to quit waking things for civilians and they will force the shift to war. ‘They will force. every business and individual to convert, conserve and cur- tail. Much temporary unemployment is inevitable and it is even intended so as to compel men to scurry up new jobs in the war industry. This means shifting of workers and their jobs on a wholesale scale. : Vital changes are ahead in all of our personal lives, in our living and in our jobs, and this drastic change in business will mean that there is more than a fifty-fifty chance of a less basic change and a one hundred per cent certainty of some sort of dislocation for all of us. The authorities state that half of the workers will be shifted to wer work in due time. There are now five million persons on war production and it is estimated that in eighteen months there will be twenty million. Half the workers, ole half the effort, half the income will shift to war -- ‘the changes up to date are nothing as compared to what is to come. It means changes, movings, lost jobs, new jobs, and, in many cases, new ways of getting along. So I would frankly say to you that you will be fortunate if you can continue this second semester without more than half of your students dropping out of equitation on account of financial reasons. If you would like to drop in to see me I would be happy to talk with you. Personally, I am not a pessimist but I am a realist. . Very sincerely yours, ? - Director of Physical Education end Recreation, FCAsAH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION January Lb; 1942. Dear Dr. Allen: I fully appreciate Mr. Mott's position in the matter of wanting more people to take equitation. It is true that costs are going up and that several riders have been lost due to enlist- ment in one or another of the branches of our armed service. Mr. Mott is naturally interested in more income. However, this problem must be considered in the light of what is best for the physical education department, the student body and the University. When the plan to rearrange our physical education courses was started, it came through the Chancellor at the instigation of Mr, Mott, who had talked to the Chancellor about getting some increased revenues in order to keep operating. Mr. Mott told me that the Chanc- ellor had agreed to try to get something done to aid equitation and thought that getting rid of + semester courses and putting equitation -on the basis of two full semesters, one elementary, the other advanced, was a solution. I was consequently surprised to see the changed physical education program come out of this suggestion, not reorganized on a semester basis, but the bookkeeping merely moved from the registr- ar's office to the physical education office. (This undoubtedly is a good move but did not get rid of + semester céurses.) Equitation was lucky to come through this procedure without losing ground instead of getting the increased time. At a time when we are leaning more and more toward an ideal of physical fitness, it seems to me that more equitation is justified from a physical fitness angle, particularly for girls. If we are not to have required physical training, surely the enrollment and participation in all activities classes, which can in any way increase or insure the health and physical well being of the students, should be encouraged. _. Whether this is an opportune time to reopen the matter in light of the most recent reorganization, I am as yet not familiar enough with college procedures to know. It may be that from a pro- fessional angle we would not be justified in introducing a further + semester of horsemanship now,: although this, like many of our other skills course, is a subject in which one can never get too proficient. My attitude is, to sum it up, that the increased amount of time devoted to equitation is justified from a physical fitness angle a as well as the two semester's plan being somewhat more easily adminis- tered. We can add enough content and practice on skills to keep the course interesting and instructive. Whether this is the opportune time to ask for the change in view of our very recent change, I do not know. Cordially yours, A tay Stn THE WORLD’S LARGEST FLEET OF STREAMLINED TRAINS ir.
