School of Education.

Dear Dean Smith:
I have been called to Kensas City again today.

I would like to remind you of the fact that
when the discussion was on in the Senate a week ago Friday
a question was asked how much help we would have to haves
Of course I was guessing then, as anyone would of necessity
be forced to guess, and I said the equivalent of threes full
time men. ‘That was a guess, but I found after going into it
that it required more.

I only mention this to offset the oft-repeated
remarks that I was supposed to have made - that we could get
along with our own staff. I think in fairness to me that this
should at least be considered.

Very sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.

More fireworks! Dr. Mix called, very much upset
because two or three of the boys reported for excessive
absences are in ROTC, and one in particular told him that

he had been attending regularly. I explained, or tried

to, that we had attempted a number of times to get a

list of the ROTC boys from the Military Department.
Dr. Mix sees no reason why his committee should be
bothered by a break-down between our department and
the Military Department. Mr. Strait was in the office
at the time, and he went immediately over to see Capt.
Baker to get the list.

Dr. Mix will probably talk to you, and complain
about the list of 60 absentees which he received yester-
day. Said he had to appeal to the Shanosilor's Office
for additional help, and if we need more help we should
do the same. He gave me no chance at all to explain

Committee on Exemption from Physical Conditioning,

Dear Dr. Mix:

| I am sorry for the delay in replying to your two
letters of October 29 and 30, but I assure you I do appreciate your
fine spirit of cooperation.

I wish also to acknowledge your letter of November
2nd, in which you report on the students who have had unexcused
absences. We shall bring our records up to date, according to the
report you have issued.

I think this cheek on attendance is of definite
value to all concerned, and while we shall do our best to assign
and locate these students before reporting them to you, it is quite
possible that some errors will occur. I admit my dereliction in
sending the first absence report to you by “special messenger", but
I chose the lesser of two evils in that mtter. Mrs. Hulteen was
swamped with details here in the
her with this I chose to let the report go out by campus mail.

Dr. Forrest C. Allen |
Department of Physical Education

Dear Dr. Allen:

Your letter of Wednesday reached me after my letter

of yesterday had gone to you. I hasten to say that I
do appreciate the very great difficulties under which
your department is doing a very good job. I feel that

I should apologize to Mrs. Hulteen for the heat with
which I spoke to her, As to what I said I assured her
at the time that I did not want to say it to her but
did very much want to say it to you.

I am especially sympathetic with you concerning the
difficulties you have had in obtaining information from
the Department of Military Science, and feel that a good
deal of my impatience in the matter should have been
directed toward them.

As to our present situation, members of the Committee
are interviewing all the students whose names you sent us
and will continue to do so with all future lists. This
is distinctly worth while since we have uncovered two
"conscientious objectors" among them. However, I hope
you will pardon me if I point out that ultimately your
department will have to establish the status of those
students enrolled in R.0O.T.C. (They constitute the great
majority of the students we have so far interviewed).

For a student to tell a member of our committee that he
is enrelied in R.0O.T.C. and fer us to report that to you
does not furnish complete evidence of his enrollment.

I am sure you will agree with me that anything you can
do to locate and assign these students before sending
names to us will not increase the work you have to do,
overtaxed as you are, but will save a little time for

the committee and for the student.

On one other point in your letter I venture to
comment. I wonder if you and I both have not some-
what oenee tes the opposition of students and
faculty to the Physical Conditioning program. From
my own experience the quality of the resistance en-
countered has been so fierce that I find myself con-
fusing it with quantity. Actually most of the students
I have talked with and many of the faculty are enthus-
jastic about it.

Yours for future harmony,

Dear Dr. Allen:

Mr. William Gyarfas, enrolled in Physical
Conditioning, states that he has lost his gym
clothes, and, rightly or not, he holds the
Department of Physical Education responsible.
He refuses to buy another outfit for the re-
maining eight weeks,

Since the Committee does not want to get
into the position of recommending that Mr,
Gyarfas be expelled from school because he
cannot or will not replace his lost clothes,
we venture to ask if there is anything your
department can do in the way of restitution.
Or, if it is clearly his fault that the clothes
have been lost will you let us know that as
soon as possible?

Anything you can do to help straighten
out this unusual situation will be appreciated,

IMPORTANT NOTICE The meeting of student leaders will be held on

Wednesday night this week, instead of Thursday night, at 7 o'olock.

The Kansas City Star is going to take pictures on
_ Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock for the’ retogravure section. It is
very vital that we have a sizeable turn out for the class at 3:30 on
Thursday afternoon. Each of you instructors should get at least ten
volunteers from your classes to dress for that afternoon for a mass
picture. This will be discussed at the Wednesday night meeting.

Please note that om Wednesday night we will meet in
the men's gym downstairs. Come dressed in sweat clothes to receive
instruction in commando tactics. Captain Baker, Lieut. Shockley,
Lieut. Ley, Mr. Shenk, Mr. Replogle, Mr. Strait and I will be the
faculty in uniform for these pictures. The leaders' corps will be
dressed in sweat clothes and they will be the demonstrators and
recipients of commando tactics which will be shot by the Star's
photographer. Jt will perhaps be necessary for us to arrange with
Dean Nesmith to get sweat clothes for this picture. They should be
clean and neat in appearance. 2 :

The following men are asked to reports

Hardman Ballard
Bvans Black
Hodges Dick
Sehnellbacher Turner
Schaake - Miller
Ulrich oo Ba
Vandaveer . eA . Kissell
. Atwell

This nécleus will give us enough outstanding men so
that we should do some commendable work for the photographer. We |
desire to use the Medic class, augmented by the ten volunteers that
each of you secure. These ten men do not necessarily have to come
from each class, but we want each leader to get ten men. List these
men and the class they are to come from and give to Mrs. Hulteen so
that she can give it to Mr. McBlhinny so the baskets will be ready.
The photographer will be here from noon until about 4 o'clock. The
football men necessarily will have to leave early, but we can use the
varsity men and coaches in demonstrations in time te release them for
football practice. 3

Dear Dean

At the beginning of the fall semester it was necessary for
us to print a special folder showing the schedule of classes in the e
required physical conditioning course. For the spring semester I am
wondering if you would desire to include the schedule of physical
conditioning classes in your own printed schedule. If so, we will pS
send the copy upon your request. I believe this will save moh 1
expense, and wi facilitate the enrollment procedure.

May I hear from you at your conveniane?

Dear Friends:

The above mentioned menbers of the student leaders’
corps were absent from our usual Thursday night huddle this week.
We discussed important matters and we regret that you were not
present. ‘The leaders are given one hour credit, or 50¢ for attends
‘ing these meetings. To impress upon the leaders the necessity of
attending this meeting I have automatically placed a fine of 50/
for your absence. You get 50¢ for attendance; consequently you
lose $1.00 for the hour's absence. |

‘If these absences are continued you will be replaced
by the personnel who attend.

 

 
 

BULLETIN
