Dear Dr, Allen:

Mr. Strait, Replogle and I have started signing cards and
we have been running into difficulties as to enrollments. I feel that
we need to be very careful about these enrollments, and there are some
points that none of us are clear about. I am listing some of these
problems below.

1. Im each class there are a few men who have never shown
up. According to College regulations those cards should have been
turned in after the first three sessions. However, this was not done.
What should be done with these cards? Should we sign them and check
in the spaces “Never Appeared", or just what should we do with them?

2. In changing back and forth from conditioning to swimming,
students are changed from one section to another. The instructor in
swimming may sign the card and then in two weeks some other instructor
will have the student in physical conditioning because he has passed
the swimming test. Or the student in one section of physical condition-
ing may have been transferred from one section to another by our office
help. There has often been no record sent to the dean of the school in-
volved concerning these changes and the students have not had to have
new enrollment cards. I am afraid there may be confusion in the offices
of the various deans unless we have some departmental scheme for handl-
ing this.

I have been under the impression that in turning in grades
for students in this department, the various instructors would turn in
grades to Mrs. Hulteen and then the only grades which would be sent in
to the various schools would be in Physical Education I, II, III, IV,
etc., as the case might be. I do not even know whether it would be
necessary for the individual instructors to sign the grade sheets in
this case.

3. Another problem is the fact that only in a few cases did
the advisors enroll the students in Physical Education I, II, III, Iv,
etc., but instead they enrolled them only in physical conditioning or
swimming, as the case might be. How can we handle this problem whan
we turn in the grades?

Since the College is primarily concerned with some of these
problems do you think we should take some of them up with them or how do
you wish to handle them? We should have a uniform policy and some of
these points have to be straightened out before we can get our records
in shape.
