Dear Rays Please find enclosed a copy of a letter which I received from Lt. J. H. Gardner, Athletic Director for this area of the Naval Aviation Cadet students, and a copy of my reply to him. Forty students arrived Friday morning, and this week forty more are expected, until the number reaches the required quota. We are planning to use a large football equipment basket that is used by the football men at the stadium. The Navy service has equipped the cadets with sweat shirts, sweat pants, gym shirts, gym pants, and shoes. This small basket that we use in the gymnasium here is entirely too small to handle the Navy equipment, This is merely a progress report.

He Gardner, Athletic Director, Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, 121008ryant Building, lith and Grand Ave., Kansas City, Mo. Dear Lieutenant Gardner: Answering your favor of the 16th instant, beg to state that the Naval Aviation Cadets reported for duty on Friday morning, April 16. We immediately instructed Mr. Reginald Strait, who is one of our outstanding faculty members in the School of Education, Department of Physical Education, to take over. Last Friday morning Mr. Strait met the Cadets at 7 o*elook for an hour and a half of physical conditioning drill. We are making arrangements so that the equipment of the entire Naval Aviation Cadet personnel will be handled in a separate room. We are installing extra large baskets for their rather bulky equ@pment -- much moré than our students use. I on very sure that the way we are handling this situation will appeal to you. We are not using student help in the future. , Thanking you for your letter, I am Very cordially yours, : Director of Physical Education, FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

Dear Doctor Allen: As a result of my recent inspection trip to the University of Kansas, I would like to make the following recom mendation regarding the Naval Aviation Cadet physical fitness program. | It is highly desirable that a regular member of your physical education department conduct the physical fitness classes as prescribed by the Navy. It is hoped that immediate steps will be taken to provide a qualified man for this assignment. It is felt that student help, as has been used in the past, is not capable or experienced enough to properly handle the job. Trusting that we may have your cooperation in the matter, I remain, Very truly yours, pia J. H. GARDNER, eutenant, A-V(S), USNR. Athletic Director.
