A.A. and having each an enrollment of 1,000 students or less, requesting the Association to appoint a permanent committee of five repre- sentatives of these institutions to integrate and make more definite points of view on athletic and institutional policies for this group to the end that their distinctive institutional problems may receive more constant and effective discussion and attention.

February 6, 1 938 d OFFICE OF Che Greasury Department OF THE City of Dos Angeles, California SR on Station 581 N. oo 514 North Avenue 54 Los Angeles, California January 30, 1938 Mr. Forrest Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Sir: In going thru the effects of Paul Terry I have found your name and address. As a Reserve Officer on duty with the ccc I first met Terry in 1935, at which time he was a member of the Corps and assigned as truck driver at one of the Camps. At that time he gave every indication of being throoly trustworthy and honest. Accordingly, when he was discharged from the organization last Fall, broke and homeless, my wife and I took him in. Among other stories told to us, was the one that he had attend- ed your school for some three years. Others have told us that he claimed to be a graduate of the institution. After furnishing him with borrd, room, spending money and other favors for three months we fina@lly:got suspicious of him and ordered him out of our home. In addition to "sponging” on us for that length of time, he made an attempt to rape our little fourteen year obd daughter-in our own home and while my wife was away for a few minutes at the store. I have information that Terry (whose true name, according to papers which he left, is Pablo Padilla, just plain Mex) has gone back to Kansas and I am giving you this information just in the event that he again tries to contact you. y AO Haag NASON Sin & : | ge of a8 I Hu i thy a] i f yhae iy ‘ wig gp th | Rep ga dpe : mite | 8 Th 3 3 : g : rg Hap | di ant . is gkey os E Mi a Mi ata i rr he mam in PENS Nor, 2¢, /fJ7.

The “restoration is a part of a-large state park, and was recently dedicated as such, The missions of California constitute an attraction which is.one of the strongest for California residents and tourists alike. They represent one of the best associations which we can have with a past California that is gone for good. Muddle-headed name changers and Coney island architec- ture has about done for most of the flavor of an earlier California, and the missions are the more appreciated. The same sort of callousness that is so prevelant today all but destroyed the missions for us too. The building skill of the Indians under the direction of the mission fathers proved strong enough to make build- ings that withstood the depredations of men, weather and time. California is not the only state with early missions. Ari- zona has some fine examples, even older than ours. But it is in California that most of them are found, and in the best state of preservation or restoration.
