REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

(The Executive Committee during the past year has adopted certain
regulations governing finances and the conduct of tournaments and meets
sponsored by the Association. Expanding activities of the Association,
with the consequent increase in expenses, have necessitated a thorough
review of financial operations both as to sources of income and items of
expense. The Executive Committee has devoted a great deal of time to
this problem, and the regulations adopted are designed to systematize the
financial operations of the Association and keep expenditures within the
income. To insure this, provisions have been incorporated in the pro-
posed Constitution for an annual budget. Regulations adopted, which will
be submitted to the Council, and presented at the business meetings of the
Convention, follow:)

ORDER OF BUSINESS
(At Convention)

At meetings of this Association, the order of business shall be as
follows:

(1) Reading of minutes of previous meeting;

(2) Appointment of a Committee on Credentials;
(3) Reports of officers and committees;

(4) Miscellaneous business;

(5) Election of officers and committees;

(6) Adjournment.

(This is taken from Article VI of the present By-laws. The order of
business is a subject which should be subject to easy change and inasmuch
as arrangements for the Convention are in the hands of the Executive
Committee it is properly a part of the committee’s regulations.)
