Mr. Allen - 2

The Orchestra of seventy players must of necessity continue its regular
weekly meeting there at 3:30 to 5:00 pem. on Tuesday, and the Orchestra
Clinic of fifty to sixty players will have to meet there on Wednesday from
3:30 to 4:30, but we can vacate the auditorium during the next three weeks
leaving it open for you as follows:

Monday = from 2:30 poem.
Tuesday - from 5:00 p.m.
Wednesday - from 4:30 p.m.
Thursday = from 2:50 pem.
Friday - from 2:50 pem.
Saturday - from 12:00 noon.

This is a matter that we shall have to work out with you each successive
season as it must depend on how heavy a load the organ department is called
upon to bear. Students doing their practice on the great organ pay an extra
high fee and are quite upset, we find, when they are not consulted on any
change in plans that affect them.

You may continue to be assured that we are ready to do what we can to
help you out during the basket ball season in this rather perplexing problem.
You are fully aware, I know, that we ourselves are having some major problems
on the satisfactory placement of regularly prescribed work of the School of
Fine Arts, as we deal with it all.

I shall keep you informed regularly as in the past of the dates of our
concert engagements. Although we plan but one concert of the Kansas City
Philharmonic on the regular concert course, every year since the orchestra
started coming here we have arranged for the matinee concert on the same day
for the children of Lawrence and this vicinity.

With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,

Gao be are
