Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Again, with the season of basketball well under way, the menace of the high school and grade school boys has invaded our gymnasium, These boys come to the gym after their schools are out and bother class activities by coming in and out of the gym until the class is dismissed, They even interrupted the 3:30 class to ask the teacher when she would get off the floor so they could play. Then at about 4:50 they swarm in and take possession of the floor. When the women come up to play their intramural activities they find the floor occupied. Often they leave without playing their matches. Sometimes they will stop at the office to ask when the floor will be free, Then one of the staff members has to go to the gym and ask the boys to leave. The women students have been told to request the boys to leave when they want the floor but they refuse to do so until a staff member comes out and does the ordering. The staff members have to act as policemen from four o'clock on through the night until ten or eleven o'clock to keep the floor clear of those boys. The boys not only take possession of the floor but last Saturday they broke the piano bench, moved all the ping pong tables, chipping the edges of them, and used the corrective room back of the piano as a toilet. They tear down material which has been placed on the bulletin board and often write or change words on posters to make indecent, filthy meanings, I do hope some arrangement can be made to keep these boys out of the University buildings.

Allen Director, Physical Education and Recreation University of Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Enclosed in this letter is a summary report of the faculty recreation classes and the use made of the faculty dressing room during the school year 1939-40. The attendance in the classes has fluctuated from time to time, but permant interest, particularly in volley= ball, has increased throughout the year,. Thigeis evidenced by the fact that we had so many in lat his we we found it necessary to conduct two volleyball games at once, and that the group invariably continue@to pley as late as 6:30 or 6:45 peme Next year I expect the number of faculty members participating to be considerably larger. May a definite time allotment and floor space be set aside for this group(for next year) when the time schedule of classes and activities is drawn up this Spring? It is practically impossible to reorganize @ye time schedule after it is once completed; therefore, I hope this group will be given consideration at the time that the schedule is made.
