Dear Professor Crafton: In our “toughener course” in Physical Education we are trying to develop some morale. In each company or large group we are going to have some competitive singing while the boys are marching. I would appreciate it if you would serve as a moxber of a committee, under the chairmanship of Dean Swarthout, te select the prize-wiming group. It will take same tine, perhaps a month or so before they are ready to compete. Singing is one of the morale builders, and we thought a little competition along this line would be helpful to the esprit de corps of the boys at this time. ® If you will serve we will appreciate it, and I will let you know when the contest takes places; or rather, we will contact you first and place the time at your convenience.

Memo to Chencellor Malotts: In regard to your suggestion that the towel fee be raised, I think it would be a mistake to raise it further at the present time. This fee has been raised to nearly 437 per towel, on the theory that the student should pay for the wear and tear on the towel as well as the lawmderjmg and service. To raise this to S¢ per towel would give us about a half a cent increase, and it does not seem advisable te recommend it now. set-up we are ordering 200 dozen quoted at » price of §6.55 per dozen. Dean Smith estimated an expenditure of $840.00 for towels but that figure was based on previous prices for towels. We get a cheaper quality for $5.75 a dozen, but I am sure this course, there is the possibility of a laundry break-down, and we would be forced to call upon our reserve. There is no idea on our part of hoarding, but this mumber of towels is a "must". have 5 goods . burg, of Lowe & Campbell Athletic Goods Company in Kansas City, asked how that would affect their prices. This company is a - of the Wilson Sporting Goods Company (trust). Mr. Free- burg told me this agreement mentioned in the paper would not change their bid at all.

It my be that after we get into our conditioning progrem we will desire to change it somewhat, and then we will order the equipment needed.
