énjoy my sessions, sitting in with the meditative and efficient
Rules Comm ttee,

I am of the opinion that our annual
questionnaires are out @ little too late for us to get the
greatest benefit from an annual study of these rules, I have
listed and codified all of the answers that have come in this
year. And, from my study of this group, I know how next to
impossible it would be for any Questionnaire Committee to agree

Don't you think that we should ad-
here to our policy that unless we get an overwhelming opinion

in favor or dis-favor of the rule thet we should recommend wogith

the groups that — should try projects out before we agree

with the center tip. Unless there is an over-whelming vote in
favor of the center tip, why not leave the rule as it is, even
though e conference or a section does away with it, and see how
they get along with it before we change the rule. Perhaps,
sentiment in thet way will crystallize one way or another and
the fellows who did away with the center-tip may be just as much
dissatisfied with the game under the change and they may want to
