Dr. Paul B. Hoffmann
Holyrood, Kansas

Dear Dr. Hoffman:

As in your favor of the 6th instant, I wish
to state that I have just talked with Mr. Henry Werner,
the advisor of men, University of Kansas. He tells: me
the Student Housing Association is a non-profit sharing
student organization and has no direct connection with the
University, so far as the University supervision goes.

The organization hes two houses, one of which is
not approved by the University on account of having no fire-
escape. The men in these houses do one hours work a day and
their board and room ‘costs about twenty dollars per month.
“his organization is, student managed but they have faculty members
on their governing board. Dean Werner, Paul B. Lawson, of the
College, and Fred Montgomery of the Visual Instruction Staff serve
on the board as advisors.

I do not know how to advise you. It is my opinion,
however, that perhaps you might be as well off by picking your
own room-mate and working for thirty five cents per hour when
work is available. Won't you write me more regarding your problem and
your son's problem and I will be very happy to advise you further.

With all good wishes to you and your son, and trusting
that we will see your son on Mt. Oread this fall, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreation-
Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
