Dear Fellow Faculty:

We have been endeavoring to get the control of all
equipment under the direction of one individual so that we might
be more efficient in handling such matters. This also applies to
the matter of ordering new equipment as well as the major repairs
needed.

Last week I noticed all of our mets loaded out in the
hall with cords tied around them. I asked what they were doing there
and was told that they had been used down at the Community Building
for our Homecoming. These mats were not clean and I am sure that
they carry a great deal of dirt with them. Keeping these mats
clean is a problem and I do not see how we can continue to let
our mats go out in this fashion without picking up debris.

It is thinkable that some such things, as loaning mats,
may have to happen occesionally, but we should make the loaning
of them a very difficult task. Perhaps we should set aside some
old mats and let only the painted ones go to such places. These
could then be washed and sterilized but the cloth mats cannot.

For efficiency sake we have appointed Mr. Burt DeGroot
as Coordinetor of Equipment. Any equipment that is pur chased
through the office will receive Mr. DeGroot's attention. For the
matter of repairs of a minor nature these can be brought to our
office and they will receive prompt attention, but any repairs of
any magnitude should be referred to Mr. DeGroot as a first order
of businesse

Sincerely
