Rev. T. H. Asuman, President,
Lawrence Community Chest,
Lawrenee, Kansas.

Dear Ted:

| I acknowledge receipt of your letter of December lst calling
a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Lawrence Community Chest
on Monday, Vesember 6th.

At the last meeting on November 19th I had a varsity basketball
game and was supposed to meet my boys at 5:30. I was so late getting
awey from this meeting that I did not even get to meet with the boys
preliminary to their dressing period. Therefore, I sacrificed one of —
my oe jobs for a lot of discussion which I thought was utterly
foo °

The man who knew a1] about the constitution and by-laws of the
organization, John Brand, told you than that such a motion was wcon-
stitutional, and the reason they voted to take the money out of the
Fire Works fund was so that it would be in line with the constitution.
Therefors, I consider the discussion thereafter foolish conversation,
and then to have them pass a motion and vote for something that every-
one knew was unconstitutional, if they paid attention to John Brand,
was very silly.

: Meetings like this are where minutes are kept and hours are
wasted. I do not have time enough to spend on such meetings as this.
Every afternoon from 3:30 on one of my uost important jobs is coaching
my varsity basketball team. | Hereafter I will let you people settle
ite

Very sincerely yours,

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