As soon as I finish dictating this letter, I'll eall some grocery stores and see if you can make arrange- mente for clerking in one of then. I also know some grocery and meat markets and it]] try the combinations. You might write to Arnolds Market, 846 Indiana. Then . there is Landrith's market, Mr.G.S. Landrith is the proprieter also, Hunter's Market (combination, meat and groceries), Mr. Elmer F, Humter is the proprietor. Of course there is the A. & P. Store, Kroegers, end the Safeway, here. A letter addressed to them might get you a reply but the managers change at these places so often, I believe it would be a good idea to come in ahead of time next year, if you plan on applying at these last places.

Respectfully yours, a | Poi, May 3lst, 1941 Dr., W. C. Jesson Petibody, 4ansas Dear Dr. Jesson: Thank you for your hurried note as of Wednesday, May 29th, regarding Hoyt Baker. | Your letter arrived in my absence. I was speaking to the Rotary Club at Parsons, Kansas. And, since yesterday was “emorial Day, your letter did not come to my attention until this morning. . However, I did confer with Vie Hurt and W_,me Replogle, and they gave me the information regarding Bruce Drake and Adams, in Gardner. Roy Bennett, the President of the Rotary Club at Parsons Was one of my old Varsity Players back in 1920. He was Bruce Drake's coach at Central “ighschool in Oklahoma City. Bennett told me thursday that Bruce was on his way up to talk with Hoyt Baker. Dr. Jessen, you and I have talked often enough so that I'm sure you will understand my attitude in this Baker situation. If Hoyt is shopping around, endeavoring to get the best offer, financially, or if his mother or someone else is causing him to be dissatisfied because someone is not offering him enough money, then I'm of the positive opininn that we can not interest him here at the University. I have always looked at athletics as something that should not have money made out of it unless you are a professional playerg or a coach. And, I have always looked at an educational institution as a place where a boy goes to receive an education and an inspiration that will make his life more productive and pleasent. A fellow gets out of a proposition exactly what he puts in it. If Hoyt is looking for money, Oklahoma is his best bet. It's pretty evident thet its necessary for Vklahoma to make this type of an offer to induce boys of Hoyt's type to attend their school. I have said _ and done everything in keeping with the traditions and the real work of the University of Kansas. I shall not lower her standards to meet the apparent type of competition that's being placed before some boy. If Hoyt desires to attend the University of Kansas, we'll do everything we can for him legitimately and keep with the best ideals of a splendid institution, And, if he cheses some other instithtion, he will do so with my blessing. I appreciate your whoehearted interest, but you and I both know that if you want money, you go to a bank; if you want pills, you go to a drug store, anc if you want education, you go to a first-class educational institution. Very cordially yours, March 17, 1942 “Dite We Ce Jessen .

One hundred and ninety-one. sen- iors marched through Miss Lavina Liebengood’s ‘sewing room to be measured for eaps and gowns for baccalaureate and commencement. The seniors have use of these caps and gowns for a week with- out charge. Chemistry students are studying the Halogen family. This family consists of chlorine, flourine,, bro- mine, and iodine. UNDER SHOWERS that is requested. Without these _| boys undoubtedly the ‘tourney would have been slowed down. Good job, Mr. Ayers. * * * Moundridge and Marion each placed two men on the Newtonian class A all-star team. Peabody furnished the fifth member. \ At forwards were placed Baker of Peabody, and Province of Mar- ion. Baker was chosen because he is a good floor man and accurate shot. Province was chosen princi- pally because of his ability to hit in the clinches. At .center, Stucky of Mound- ridge was given the nod and was also chosen captain. He plays a good floor game and is a consistent shot. At guards, Lee of Marion and Parks of Moundridge ranked first. Lee is a fine guard and good shot. Parks was given his place because of the fine guarding he did of Baker in the semi-final round.
