I certainly shall, but want to be sure that we will not displease Boss Don. I wrote “Greta” a letter this morning, hoping that some time the family can come down for one of our outdoor parties. They really are delightful. ! With all good wishes, I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, _PCAsAH | Varsity Basketball Coach. August 1, 1944. Miss Seas Lou Peste, 4140 Cambridge, _ Kansas City, Kansas. Dear Samay Lou: We are having another dance - a square dence - tomorrow from 8:30 to 9:45. Perhaps Dr. Major is still out so it won’t be possible for the family to come dow. At the last, dance I told young sailor Thorne that I thought you people might be here. Hie is coming out for basketball when we have practice, but we are still having intremurals so I haven't started varsity practice. if you can't make it this Wednesday night see if you and your folks can't mke it a week from Wednesday night. We will have the regular dance then, and if you will let me know I will have the regular Mr. Thorne there. You mow I am glad to do anything that I can to help with the happiness of the Peete household, and incidentaliy with the happiness of the offspring of the ?eete household. Give my regards to all. You can always count on me, Greta. a Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

There is one thing in my mind that I have not clarified, and that is - should I go ahead and make these dates for Jimny Jane, or wait until I have a conference with Dr. Peete and you? We are having e street dance here next Wednesday evening. This is “liberty” night for the sailors and I could get word to Leonard F. Thorne (that is his name) to be at the dance. That might be an incentive to Sammie Lou to make the trip with her papa and mama. It is going to be outside, in front of the Giuaatetiey Building, and we are going to have a twenty~piece band so the dancing will be good - especially when we are go- ing to augment the ednerete dancing floor with plenty of cornmeal and bran to aid the gliders and the jitterbugs. Really, it will be a very fine dance and if you will let me know whether you can come or not, we will make the necessary arrangements to have young Thorne present. Now, sericusly, it might be better for us just to correspond if you do not want to come down, and you could let me know when we could have a conference with Dr. Peete. If he has objections to a sorority I would be giad to talk with him — the benefits that a student derives from belonging. Personally, I think Jinny Jane would make a fine sorority girl and a substential one. The sororities place e very high standard of scholarship on their members, but of course there are always some who never study much, but the majority of them make exceptional grades.

Tar Lae (aad Mt 7 na ae naan THE COST OF ONE FLYING FORTRESS! About thirty-five years ago, a few farsighted doctors together with the people of Kansas began to build an institution whose influence was destined to be felt all over the nation. The University of Kansas School of Medicine has sent its graduates into every state of the union, and their fine work has brought great honor to the school that so ably fitted them for a life of service. The respect for that institution has spread from coast to coast, and now, in these times, to the far corners of the earth. For many years, as this institution grew, it struggled to obtain new buildings in order to meet, adequately, the increased demands for greater space for patients and the need for more classrooms. As the school grew and the student body increased in number, the need for a student union building became more apparent -—-. but... . < NO FONDS! Why a student union? Where can students meet their friends? Where can they enjoy a few minutes relaxation? Where can they spend some time in physical activity? Where can they read, hear enjoyable music or indulge in the time-honored "bull-fests" so dear to the hearts of the mecical students who want to talk over lectures and clinical patients? The war has shown how physically unfit so many young men have become. Medical students have no facilities for recreation. School social gatherings for faculty and students are unsatisfactory because they are forced to take those gatherings to hotels, night clubs and public dance halls. This longed-for building will solve these problems. It will be the means of putting character and morale into a very worthy institution. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Don't say that you can't afford to help. You are helping to build a great medical school which, like your church, will pay you dividends in the future. YOU CANNCT AFFORD NOT TO HELP! You cannot afford eer to have that warm feeling that comes when you have done an unselfish thing. In the student union there will be a memorial to Dr. C. B. Francisco, who for thirty years gave his services unselfishly to crippled children. He was a respected and deeply beloved teacher at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. ; Funds obtained will be invested in War Bonds now. The amount needed is far less than the cost of just one Flying Fortress. After the war this building will take form, and. the fund that you have created, that we will lend to a Flying Fortress, will be restored to peace- time use and a Student Union shall rise to be a reminder and inspiration to those who will enjoy its benefits as they prepare themselves to serve humanity. Please make checks payable to the Francisco Memorial Fund and mail to the University of Kansas School of Medicine at Kansas City, Kansas. Back the attack and build the Student Union by subscribing to the Memorial Fund. COMMITTEE: ; DON CARLOS PEETE, M.D. Galen M. Tice, Chairman Ralph H. Major Don Carlos Peete June 6, 1944.

PENNOCK,GENERAL MANAGER Lg Muarch 10, 1944 Dr. Forrest C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Aansas Dear Doctor Allen: Thank you for your speedy reply to my letter. Since it is too early for you to make a decision for the coming season, I will be glad to hear from you at a later date when you are more certain. I hope you will be free to act as our representative in that section, I feel it will be the beginning of a long and happy association. Baseball's policy for seventeen year old boys is that as long as they are free to sign we are anxious to acquire them. No boy already in the armed forces can be signed and while Commissioner Landis hasn't made any decision as yet, I don't think he will permit the elubs to retain control over players who enter the service without first being on the active list of some club. Of course, this is just my opinion and we are proceeding on these lines in our system. Please let me hear from you when you have the opportunity.
