Dear Dre Allen;

Three years ago, several of us got together at
the request of the Institute for Inter-National
Education and Representatives from the United States
Bureau of Education, with the idea of financing the
University expenses of Latin American Students, who
might be selected to attend Kansas University. The
District Rotary became very interested, and set aside
the sum of $200 for payment of the fees of such a
student. This was done for two years, and two Latin
American Students have been enrolled during that
timee Their room and board was provided through the
generosity of various Fraternities on the campus.

It was felt that these students, by their contacts
among the students and throughout the state, were very
valuifile assets. This last spring, I was informed
that the District had again set aside the necessary
#200 for the Latin American Exchange Student and Mre
Klooz informed me that Mr. Ambrose Johnston of Man-
hattan was charged with the assignment of this fund.

I immediately wrote to Mr. Johnston on July 16, asking
for information concerning the possibility of using
this scholarship. I have not received any reply to
this letter or to subsequent letters to Mr. Johnston.
I then telephoned Mr. Johnston at Manhattan in August,
and received the reply that it had been difficult

for him to get in touch with the other two members

of the committee concerned with the assignment of
this scholarship moneye He promised to get some
decision on the matter as soon as possible. On
September 16 I again wrote to Mr. Johnston to which
letter I received no acknowledgement. It seems to

me that there was nothing in my letters which did not
warrant the courtesy of a replye Aside, however,
