CONSERVATION NEWS —~ March 9, 1942 —- Vol, 1, No, 2 The Fire Inspector's Visit: ir, W.C. Tucker, deputy state fire marshal, was on the campus recently and in company with lir, Chas, Parker from the local fire department, spent an entire day with us visiting various buildings on the campus, and carefully inspecting them from basement to garret, at the close of the day Lr, Tucker made several specific recommendations to help in eliminating fire hazards, all of which have been conveyed direct to the departments concerned, He made other general recommendations applying to all departments and buildings, 1, Re 36 Le along a Long, worn and frayed extension cords should be eliminated; extension cords should not be used in place of permanent wiring; where necessary they should be of good quality, preferably encased in rubber, and should not be wound around supports, tied in knots, hung over nails, or have nails driven through then, Loose waste paper, excelsior, oily rags afd the like mst not be allowed to accummlate, Each department head must see to it that all members of his department know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher, as well as how to use it, in case of fire, Each department head, as a further precaution, should decide what ma— terial or equipment under his care is most important and should be gotten out of the building first, in case of a serious fire. Employees should be assigned definite duties to be carried out in case of such an emergency. The Anatomy department is already so organized, Naturally, all employees of the University will be on the alert at all times to question any condition which might develop into a fire hazard, In addition, a fire-warden is to be appointed in each building, whose duty will be to see that present fire hazards, as pointed out by Mr, Tucker, are eliminated, and that no others are allowed to develop. Mir, Tucker plans to return to the campus again soon, and hopes to bring film demonstrating the proper technique in using a fire extinguisher, if ed Sins €.

Dear Lieutenant Mounday: We have a freshman basketball team that would be very happy te play your team if it is at all possible. Since we are limited in the matter of financial expendi-~ ture, I am wondering just how much it would take to get your boys here. ee ee eee you sould bring them int We could keep you in fraternity houses to cut down expense. We could play early enough in the evening so that you could get back to the Fort the same night. _ dweiting your reply, I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach. CAVALRY REPLACEMENT TRAINIGG CENTER FORT RILEY, KANSAS MORALE OFFICE January 28,1942. Athletic Director, Kansas University Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Sir: We are attempting to obtein several basket- ball games with e few of the near by colleges in the near future. Our team has not had very much paactice todate, however we feel they will be ready in a very short time to at least plsy a fair game of ball and would appreciate a word from you as to the possibilities of being able to play your team. The approximate date that you will be at liberty to play us as well as any additional details regarding said game will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, Mh, POR/ecb oF January 12, 1942. To all Staff liembers: Pisa’ : ; n° G° FIle 102. B The University is starting at once to cooperate with state and national asencies to conserve resources and materials in furtherance of national defense, and for its own well-being as an institution, Every employee of the University will have an important part to play, both in recommending ways and means of conservation and in helping to carry out the details of the program, The opportunity to cooperate in this time of emergency will be a source of satisfaction far outweighing the small inconveniences we will be called on to endure, Several worth-while suggestions have already come from employees and staff members, and the willingness and enthusiasm everyone has shown to cooperate makes the job a real pleasure. Other suggestions will be welcomed and are expected, Below are some of the things we can all start to do now: 1. See that all waste paper, except carbon paper, waxed paper, and cello-— phane, finds its way, through the already—established channel, to the bailer, where it will be bailed and sold, 2. Magazines and newspapers from home may be turned over to the Salvation Army, which reaps a small well-earned return therefrom, or may be left with the janitor in any University building, 3, ‘We must conserve heat and light as never before, Do not leave lights burning in any office or classroom when unoccupied, 4, Hach week-end turn off radiators in office rooms which are not occupied over Saturday and Sunday. If your radiator has a valve at both ends be sure to turn off both. 5, When offices or classrooms are too warm, turn off radiators instead of opening windows, Ventilation, of course, is necessary, 6, Check storerooms and other seldom used spaces to see if radiators can pe partly or entirely turned off, I found one such storeroom in my own buildings 7, All junk metals—-copper, zinc, brass, aluminum, iron, etc.—can be dis— posed of at much better prices than heretofore. Laboratories in particular should check all discarded equipnent, stored in various build- ings, to see if it has any value, other than junk. Valuable storage space might be released, 8, Used rags can be sold, if they are not oil-soaked, Tin cans are worth 25¢ per cwt., when mashed flat, at the junk yard. 9, Heavy manila envelopes in which you receive magazines or other publi- cations can be used again and again for campus mailings, If you don't have use for all such envelopes you receive, turn them over to the Business Office, 10, Any paper which is blank on one side can be cut to scratch—-pad sizes and 7 padded at nominal cost, for desk use, 11, Be always on the alert to eliminate fire hazards or other sources of accidents or catastrophies,. A building damaged or lost by fire at this time probably could not be replaced, Check all possible fire hazards in your building at once, If in doubt, call the situation to the attention of Hallie Harris, janitor foreman. Drop me a note, making additional suggestions along the above line, You will be kept informed, through your department head, as additional details of the program are worked out, Yours very truly, Thos, OC, Rythe, Conservation Chairmans ootaenarezou qperamate -dpoe® wAgU anes oe pur oe aTeyouTy ‘oR Geaproue. you" a6 pom wpyatet® ot aerire: mug ‘nee EOL oust : pone ey a oy it me 87) ne azgneeron | £0 eve eee ee qnweten of, yoap es tyes ae gimme it ae use scion ee ere ey, 8 nah oe ‘pebayae® s $0R0 eHow ida fo fue. ne s8gTU {o% oaatiya | rerypute : sac nes 7 Soa Be Leceras wytuyyi spt ben engy? ayes weapeg Eyer a nee nate bey pe Boge?

Kensas and Kentucky have never played in football or basketball, or any othor sport, that I remember. Adolph Rupp was one of my boys, graduating here in 1923, where he played on the varsity basketball team. I am very fond of him, but I have never made any statement re- his ability as a basketball coach. I have told ny friends that Ke is a very intelligent and scholarly gentlee | man. I have had no reason to make a comparison of his coach- inge Rupp's school] has played Xensas State College, our agrioultural school at Manhatten, but I have never played him here. .

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS December 10, 1941 Mr. Gifford Roux 256 Elm Street Roxana, Illinois — Dear Gifford, I am enclosing your check for last month's work at the stadium and the $1.00 refund on your physical education fee. We are thinking of you, Gifford, and wishing the very best for you and yours. With sincerest personal wishes I am Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education and Recreation FCA/pe Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach > ~ 4 December 3, 1941 Mr. Gifford Roux 256 Elm Street Roxana, Illinois Dear Gifford, - [was saddened beyond measure when I received your letter of November 20 telling me of your father's illness. We cannot explain some things we can only accept them and do the very best under the conditions. Wewere so very fond of you here, Gifford, I have been out on a speaking engagement during Thanksgiving and returned to find my desk full of unanswered mail. I asked my secretary to write you and tell you the basic things that she could find out. I have just talked to Mr. Hitt, the Registrar, and he is taking it up with your dean, Dean George B. Smith, to see that you are properly withdrawn so that there will be no failures recorded against you. This will keep your record clean if and when you are able to return. I also talked with Mr. Hitt regarding a possible refund of your tuition explaining that it was a case of illness that necessitated your withdrawal from school. Unfortunately, they have a rule that no refund will be given after the first six weeks of school - this is on tuition, hospitalization, and activity books. I tried every way that I could to get you some refund, but the rules of the University are very clear, and there is no way to do any- thing about it. Miss Gowans will get your check from the Business Office on the 10th of December and will also obtain your refund of $1.00 from the towel room. Let us hear from you, Gifford and if there is any further way in which we may be of service, let us know. Milton inquired about you and is so sorry to learn of the unfortunate illness of your father. He said, "Gee, Dad, he was one of the very best men I had. Tell Gifford I am sorry he had to leave because I got to like him so much", ‘ we take Gifford, you made a wonderful impression with the students here at the University of Kansas. Your industry and your seriousness of purpose and your congeniality made hosts of friends. We wili be pulling for you and for your family. Please give Coach Summers my kindest personal regards and tell him thet he sent a real gentleman and real athlete to Kansas.
