Dear "Phog":

Answering your letter of April 19, I should like to make
this observations

The NeCeAsAe Basketball Tournament should be handled sube
stantially as would the athletic business of any reputable college . d
or wiversitye Expenses should be itemized so they are perfectly 4
clear and understandable to any auditor. I do not believe in this
day and age that any athletic department permits an expense item i
of the character which you have mentioned, namely, “miscellaneous
expenses" so muche I feel that we, as a committee, in order to
protect ourselves in this matter, should absolutely insist that any i
items which might be classified as miscellaneous, such as taxi cab
fare, etce, must be definitely itemized as to amounts. I don't know
of any other way to handle this matter.

 

I am very sure this method of procedure is the one which
we will be held to by the Executive Committee of the NeCeAsle,s SO
insofar as I am authorized to rule on this matter, you can consider
that this letter is a ruling to the effect that we cantt permit any
unitemized miscellaneous items in our expense accounts.

After all, this whole matter is not one that should be
handled particularly according to your views or mine, but it is
rather a matter of being in accord with recognized sound financial
practice in athletic matters.

 

 

You may use this letter as you see fit.

 

Very sincerely yours,

‘a
