EIGHT of our fighting brothers from Kansas Alpha have joined the Chapter Eternal. We cannot forget them, we must not forget those who are returning. And Because membership in the chapter has been extremely low during the war years, our income has suffered and the chapter house has been subjected to unusual depreciation. But we have kept our house going as only three others on "The Hill" have been able to do. $8,000.00 will be needed t Then too, furniture must b of a fitting Memorial for our fighting brothers.

Allen, Director Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Phog: I do appreciate your kind note of June 9. Both Mrs. Price and I regret the necessity of leaving Kansas and our good friends in Kansas. The work here has been most stimulating and challenging, and I should like to be present as the school and the state develop. We are moving to Colorado, and my position will be with the University of Denver. Denver is twenty-five miles from Evergreen, Colo- rado, which is supposed to be the one spot in the country free from the pollens which seem to bring about Zelda's asthma. I am confident that the position will afford an opportunity to do a really creative job. The University is endeavoring to coordinate and integrate the programs offered by the schools of law, business and public administration. For the time being, I shall be Dean of the School of Law and of the School of Business, and coordinating director of the three schools. By being located in Denver, we really hope to see more of our good friends in Kansas than we have down here, and as soon as we find a latch string, it will always be out to the Allens. Kindest personal regards. Cordially yours JFP:jrt JAMES F, PRICE, President June 9, 1945. Mr. James F. Price, President, 2 Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia, Kansas. Dear Jim: _ ’ XZ was shocked to read of your resignation on accout of the illness of your good wife. I often remember the most pleas- ~ hour I spent in your home in the presence of your lovely family. I sincerely trust thet Mrs. Price's health will improve under a new environment. / I want you to know how definitely we feel in the State ef Kansas your loss to our state. Your administration gave great . promise of being most outstanding because you gathered around you a group of outstanding educators. You were making the presence of the school definitely felt in the state. With regret in your going, and with kindest wishes to your good wife and family, I an Sincerely yours, .

Gs _Allen Athletic +rrector The University of Kansas LaWrence, Kansas Dear Sir; I have noticed that it was the policy of most of the Big six teams when coming as far south as Norman, Oklahoma to stay over and play the Zoomers or Skyjackets a game while here. Because of this, I am wondering if it would be possible for Phillips University to become the stop- over for several of the Big Six teams next year. We have good hotel facilities in “nid, and are 120 miles mostly north of Norman. We tave tried to play an ambitious basketball scnedule this year and at the present have won 8 and lost 12. 0. U. beat us two times. ihe first 44 to 42, and the second time 39 to 32. For myself, I Would rather play college teams than these loaded service teams who heve many college stars, and feel sure that other colleges feel the same way. Would you let me know whether you think it could be arranged for K. U. to appear in Enid nest season and how much of a guarantee you would need. Can you also give me any information as to whether there will be a collegiate tournament held in Kansas City tois year, and if so, with whom I should get in touch to get extra information. Our old conference here was not in operation this year although we played two other teams who were formerly in the conference and won over them both.
