1. Faculty groups are now being organized to play volleyball,

the floor are as follows:

desire to use its facilities. Regular physical education classes,
varsity team practices and intramural contests are scheduled in

the gymnasium,during most of the year, five days per week, from
8:30 aeme to as late as 11:00 pem.i You may appreciate the
ditficulty of obtaining floor space at hours that are convenient for
all those interestedi

Members of the Physical Education Faculty:

For your information I am sending a copy
of a letter which I sent to“Dean Swarthout ea few days after
enrollment timee I suggest that you endeavor to explain
to your students who are enrolled in physical activity
classes that they are ectually getting credit for their
work. If the Fine Arts students could pass this word
on to other Fine Arts students, I believe we would see
an increase in our enrollment

September 19, 1939.

Dean D. M. Swarthout,
School of Fine Arts,
University of Kansas.

Dear Dean Swarthout:

It has come to my attention that many of the
students in the School of Fine Arts do not know they will
be given credit for courses in Physical Education, whereas
they may take a total of two hours in Physical Education
and receive credit for ite

I am wondering if it would clarify the situation,
both for your students and for our department, if in your
printed regulations you would carry a statement similar to
the one used by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in
the University catalog, which says: "To be eligible to receive
a degree from the College a student must have earned 124 hours
of credit, four of which may be for work in physical exercise."

Would you be kind enough to put this up to your
faculty as an aid to our situation here? As it is now, it
appears that we are forcing the Fine Arts students to take
gym classes, which puts us in a penal light rather than an
academic light. If these students knew they were receiving
credit in these courses, I am sure it would facilitate matters.

I shall greatly appreciate your consideration
of this suggestione

Very sincerely yours,

FCA:AH Director of Physical Education and Recreation,
CG Varsity Basketball Coach.

TO MEMBERS OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACULTY:

Meny~ef eur students de net know the significance and
importance ef a meeting like the one we have planned for
Thursdey, October 19, when Mr. Strong Hinman will speak.

I am wondering if you faculty members cannot make the
students a little more "Sasnak-conscious". The organization
doesn't mean so much because the students are inclined to
let this office stimulate their interest. We would like to
have your cooperation in boosting Sasnak to the place it
deserves in our Physical Education program.

We are planning to have only two dinner meetings of the
Sasnek Club this year, and surely two fifty-cent dinners won't
sley anyone, especially when we are going to the expense of
bringing out-of-town speakers. I feel that we should have
required attendance of every P.E. major at this meeting on
the 19th. I would like to have your suggestions at once
because we need all the support we can gete fhe Sasnak
officers are finding it rather difficult to interest the mem-
bers in buying dinner tickets.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education

Members of the Physical Education Faculty:

I have just received a letter from Dean Lawson
in which he states:

"we are constantly looking for ways and means of clarifying
our enrollment schedules in the hope of avoiding difficulties
in enrollment. May I sugzest, therefore, that it would seem
to be advisable to print in the schedule the date on which the
second half semester's work in the various exercise classes
begins. ‘There are various reasons for this suggestion, one of
them being that the boys enrolled for the first half of the
semester in Varsity Athletics may not know that the second
half semester of exercise begins before they may be through
with the Versity Athletics of the first half of the semester.
At ony rate, I make this suggestion for your consideration.

If you adept the suggestion, I think the date should be
printed for the beginning of the second half semester's

work in both the fall and spring catslogues."

I have written Dean Lawson that we would be
very glad to follow this sugcestions This is merely @ progress
report to keep you advised of the happenings dv the department.

Here's a laugh «- Dean Lawson, in stating
that he intends to place our request for approval of the course
in Equitation before his Administrative Comistes, says that
he thinks tation sounds mighty highefelutin'. Further,
he states, 7 imagine students saying, ‘Here I go
for my daily equitetion!" I would that slogan is worth
the moneye :

To Majors in the Department of Physical Education:

The Department of Physical Education requires
that all majors have an annual physical examina+
tion at the Student Hospital. We have made arrange-
ments with the hospital authorities to handle the
examinations before the Thanksgiving vacation,

You are kindly requested to call the Student
Hospital at your early convenience and make an
appointment for your examination. —

We are asking that all Physical Education
majors report for physical examination before
Friday, November 24, After this time you will
be given unexcused absences in your Physical
Education classes until you have been examined,
This is a gafety measure of mutual benefit, and
I trust we may have your wholehearted cooperation,

We kindly requested the American Medical
Association to furnish you with a copy of its
publication, aUgioa. I trust that you will
receive many valuable health suggestions from
its pages,

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Dre Elbel:

I was quite surprised to read in the morning
Kansan a report to the effect that Mr. Raport had been
made assistant to you in handling intramuralse

At a conference between you and me last spring
I advised you of the fact that Dean Schwegler was anxious
that you put more time on your teaching and less emphasis
on intramuralse He considered you more valuable as a teachere

With that in mind I discussed with you, and I
thought it was definitely agreed that the new man who came in,
which proved to be Mr. DeGroot, was to assist youe On Mre
DeGroot's appointment he was named as your assistent in intra-
murals, and he has so been advisede

If there has been any change in your mind in this
regard I would be glad to be advisede
