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".

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. I assure you that we are spending our money 6s
intelligently as possible. 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. We do not want to buy supplies
now that wo may not need. |
