0 MEMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION :

I wish to call to your attention the new procedure
in making departmental purchases, which was inaugurated by
the University on July 1 this year. This change was brought
about by legislative actione :

Under the new rule no one is able to make a purchase
of any kind, or for re amount, without advancé authori fone 2:

ae ae over the “telephone for. items
or the department{will,be paid by the business office. New
Suumnmininenegmmmintonasaiaien

forms he-ve replaced the old "requisitions",
and under the new procedure the department head will send to the
University business office a “purchase request" for the materials
desirede If this is approved by the business office it will be
forwarded to the State Business Manager at Topeka, who will award
the contract. In case it seems advantageous to purchase materials
locally, or in case of real emergency, the regulations provide that
the bursar, lire Klooz, may authorize purchases, subject to con-
‘firmation by the Topeka office.

In order to avoid inconveniences and delay you will find
it advisable to anticipate your needs as far in advance as poss-
ible. I trust that this office may have your full cooperation
inponfoming to this new regulatione E

I wish also to remind you that where certain practices
in the department have been indulged in for some time, these
should be checked up with the head of the department so that
there will be unanimity of thought and action in the departmente
For instance, the catalog does not show course $lii to be a pre=
requisite for 32ii, yet a question came up this summer which |
indicated that students were not allowed to enroll in 32M during
the second semester wmless they had previously had 31Me I would

urge that such items as this, and any others that occur to you,
be checked up with the head of the department. |
