Memorandum to Dr. Allen - Tuesday morning the Chancellor's Office called me and I went over at the Chancellor's request. He wanted me to check up on the progress being made on the filter for the swimming pool, and see if we could expedite getting the filter in shape. He asked me to do this since you were gone and wouldn't be back until the end of the week, and Mr. Strait was out of town for the day. As you know, I was unfamiliar with what had been done, but Mrs. Hulteen gave me the correspondence on the subject and I went to work. After talking to Mr. Bayles, it seemed wise that I go to Kansas City and try to get a high priority on the pump and lint and hair catcher. I went to Kansas City on Wednesday and talked to Mr. Bacharach, of the Bacharach Water Purification Company, who informed me that Mr. Livingston was flood-bound in Oklahoma and would not be back until probably the latter part of the week. They gave me a des- cription of the pump and lint and hair catcher needed to do the job which Mr. Livingston had recommended, to take to the WPB office. I also asked them how long it would take to get the necessary repairs done on the filter. They said that the sand and gravel came from Turner and that they had lots of it on hand, and also had the brass bushings and strainers in stock. However, the man they have working in Oklahoma probably could not come to Lawrence for at least two or three weeks, They suggested the possibility that if we could get a plumber to do the wrk Mr. Livingston could come over two or three days and supervise the installation, and they thought it would take only two or three days to do the job. They have not of course received the requisition from the State Business Office as yet for the $107.00 order, and of course have not received the priorities for this material either. I suggest that you try to get someone here to do the job with Mr. Livingston's supervision if we expect the job to be done within the next week or s0. I might say the reason that the Chancellor is so anxious to get this work done is because 487 V-12 Naval reserve students will be on thecempus the first of July, and the Navy stipulates that swimming be a part of their conditioning program. I talked to some members of the War Production Board in Kansas City and have sent in forms to get a priority rating on the pump me Dam and hair and lint catcher. I stressed the fact in filling out the forms that we needed a high priority rating because the University was perform- ing this service for the Navy reserves and that our present equipment was not adequate to care for the additional load whichwuld be imposed on the filtering system if we are to keep the water in a sanitary and healthful condition. I am writing you this memorendum so that you will know why I was asked to do this and just what steps I have taken. I will be glad to talk to you about it at your convenience, Sincerely, “Haw Shu a ~ UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION ci May 21, 1943. Memorandum Concerning the V-12 Program: The Chancellor held a meeting of the Engineering faculty and others concerned with the V-12 program Tuesday afternoon, May 18. Since I was the only Physical Education faculty member in town he asked me to attend. I want to give you a few of the items which I noted at this meeting. We will undoubtedly be given more detailed information later, but I thought you would like to know what the V-12 set-up is. Four hundred eighty-seven V-12 students will be enrolled in the Engineering School the first of Julye About twenty per cent of these boys will be freshmen, and the rest will be Engineering students who have been in the V-1 or V=7 programs who will be transferred to the V-12 program. These students are to be recruited from within a radius of 300 miles. The Navy will give 20 minutes of setting up exercises to these boys each day. In addition, we are to give one hour per day of physical conditioning to these boys, six days per week. This period is to be given over to calisthenics, swimming and sports. They are also desirous of having some sort of an intra- mural program and they state that these boys will be permitted to take part in intercollegiate athletics. However, they will be required to take at least 18 hours of work in the Engineering School, which will probably not leave a great deal of time for outside activities. None of these students are to be permitted to do any out- side work for remuneration, Apparently their gym clothing will be issued by the Navy. We are responsible for gymastic equipment and giving the work, keeping the records, order, and so forth, but the Navy will take care of all discipline. Mr. Leonard Axe is the coordinator of this program with the University, and Commander Buhl will handle the Naval discipline. An item of interest is that faculty members teaching half- time in this Naval program are to be deferred from military service. Another item that I think will be of interest to you is that less than half of the V-12 esandidates passed the physical examination to get into this Navy program. It is expected that we will have a contingent of 487 V-12 students on the campus from July first until the war is over. Each new oe semester a group of freshmen are to be admitted as the seniors are graduated. As I understand it, all of these V-12 boys will be in uniform, and books will be provided for them. They will be housed in fraternities and messed in the Union Building. I understand that on the 24th of May there will be a contingent of about 120 medical students who will be put in uniform and will be housed in the ATO and Sigma Chi fraternity houses, and they too will probably have to take physical conditioning. Sincerely, AH, ht A Suggested Program of Activities Based Upon an Estimated Male Enrollment of 1600 Students in Compulsory Physical Education. I. A Year's Program of Activities Since the main purpose or objective of the compulsory program is toughening and conditioning men, only vigorous activities involving increased respiration, circulation and perspiration are to be used. ‘The first ten minutes of each period will be devoted to calisthenics, running and general conditioning and body building work. | The large numbers involved necessarily limit the number and type of activities that may be used in the program. Below are listed activities for the various seasons of the year in addition to the ten minutes conditioning work with which each period will be started: Outdoor Fall (8 wks) Indoor Winter (20 wks.) Outdoor Spring (8 wks.)

A typical weekly program is attached based upon a situation where a load of 200 students is handled each hour during the 8 hours of the day. Ability to pass a swimming test would be required of each student - otherwise he would be required to take elementary swimming. nHourly Program = 1 week (Fall) obstacle races, — races, etc. Swimming T-T For elem. swimmers from all classes Swimming T-T Monday Tuesday _ Wednesday Thursday Friday Stadium 10 min. calisthenics 10 min. calisthenics Same as Mon, Same as Tues, Same as Mon.

With an estimated enrollment of 1600 men and 8 class periods daily, it seems logical to presume that if the classes are to be relatively even in size, 200 students would have to be handled each hour. It is very important in dealing with large numbers that each class be of approximately the same size in order not to put a greater ¢,under the best conditions very er overcrowded. The problem of a program of physical activities can not strain on facilities that would b be divorced from the facilities available. 2. Facilities. | In the spring and fall there should be ample room for the students outside if the intramural and athletic fields are all expanded to capacity and put in good condition, During inclement weather and the winter months, the problem of | indoor facilities will be acute but may be handled if certain conditions ‘are met: : , 1, The stadium dressing rooms will have to be used at least 7 periods per day with 2 instructors and 80 students meeting there each hour. During the winter months these classes would have to meet on the indoor track under the Mast Stadium whish would have to be heated. 2« The gym floor in the sit atin will have to be available 8 hours per dew with a class of 40 meeting there each hour. 3. A class of 40 men will have to meet in the large gymasium of Robinson each day, 8 periods per day. | 4, Forty men will have to be accommodated each hour in the small gym on the lower floor of Robinson, Silas ide sara PUS ste (a eaten es esl pamela aes palaeet aia 5. Ghe swimming pool would have to be used each hour 2 days per week for non-swinmerss The maximum load that can be heitdled in the pool is 30 students. 6. While we have enough baskets, the check vous would have to be re-modeled to facilitate the checking of baskets or too much time would be wasted cheoking baskets in and out. 7. All varsity teams using the gyms as well as intramurals would have to use the gyms after 6 pels 8. The teacher training program would have to be greatly cur- tailed since facilities would not be available, | 9. The University High gym classes would not te able to use the gym as they have in the past. 3, Staff. Five or six capable and trained fulletime instructors would be necessary to handle the physical fitmess program. The Navy recommends 30 as the ideal size for a class and one man should not be required to handle more than 40 men per hours Each full time instructor should have utvatent leaders and assist- ants. In addition to the physical fitness program, one or two men would be needed to handle the professional program which should, by all means, be continued and expanded, 4. Supplies and Equipment. Sufficient softballs, bats, footballs, tennis balls, handballs and other items of equipment will have to be purchased in ‘quantity and will involve a considerable outlay of moneys ts . 2 . - © +
