October i7, 1944. Mr. O. Fe Sehully, JYe, 225 So. Olympia, New Orleans, Lae Dear Foerster: I regret that I have not answered your letter sooner. A number of times I have endeavored to get hold of the Director of the State Board of Health and Sanitation, and also the Director of the State Geological Survey. These two professors have been out of town or out of the office at the various times that I have endeavored to contact them. It was necessary for me to work with our Dean of the School of Engineer- ing to be directed to the proper sources of job-letting. I now find that we are in a very good position to get these drafting jobs that these two people have. I asked one of the directors how much they paid an hour and he said that they put student assistants on at $50.00 a month. Then I asked the other director and he said, “We will have plenty of work", but did not give me the amount, However, I feel rather optimistic in regard to your case. You will under- stand that I could not afford to guarantees expenses. I have never done that for an athlete or a non-athlete. But I feel fairly sure that you can get as much drafting work as it will be possible for you to do, son- — that you are a student. I take it that you will want to study avehitestaral engineering, but I do not know. It might be possible that you want to study to obtain a bachelor's degree in Education with a major in Physical Bducation. I am sending you University catalogues and also a brochure on our Physical Education major course. I am sending you the estimated cost of tuition for the year, with the health fee and activity fee included: Matriculation fee (payable but once) $20.00 Incidental fee (each semester) 75.00 | Z Health fee (each semester) 5.00 7 Activity fee (fall semester) — 7.50 Our regular fall semester opens November 1. We have now a short six-weeks course which aids us in coordinating our Army and Navy courses, so our regular fall term opens November 1, although this is much later than our usual opening around the middle of September.
