‘Male Chorus Gets Data on Rules

By ANNA CLYDE VINZANT

Q-=We have a male chorus that fs attempting to be conducted under. parliamentary law, due to someone's misguided idea. The controversy centers around an officer who ‘is not covered under duties of officers, and that is: a ‘business

‘manager. Here is the problem: B thinks!’

that When a business manager makes an engagement for a public ap- | pearance of the chorus, said manager should wait ; until a meet‘ing is held and bring the p r o p o sition before: the mem bérs in ordeY that they might vote to determine whether the engagement will or will not be accepted. A says no, and maintains that when one is elected, appointed or hired as business manager, he is given the authority to manage the business affairs of the chorus to the best of his knowledge and for the good of all concerned, and that the chorus be ready to fill all engagements at the time, place, and on terms specified and that you cannot vote on a proposition after an agreement pertaining to same has been made. The above issue is a bone of contention in the chorus, and many other singing organizations are handicapped by the same lack of knowledge. If it isn’t asking too much of you, Mrs, Vinzant, in your reply I would like for you to have the whole text printed under your by-line. I am quite sure that A is correct and that your reply will serve to enlighten the misinformed and will help to correct badly managed organizations.

Rule Is Required A—A business manager is one who is authorized to control, direct or conduct the business ! of an organization with economy. The nature of your society and the fact that you have a manager would indicate that the members do not wish to be bothered with its business. To require action at a meeting of the chorus before making any engagements would defeat the + purpose of having such an officer. Where there is an organization, there must be at least a few simple rules to govern it. The writer recommends that the chorus hold a business meeting and settle this question i by adopting a standing rule out- | lining the duties and privileges ; of your business manager. Such

Mrs. Vinzant

a rule could be adopted by all

R—In an election of officers by ballot, there was a tie vote for one office. The president was presiding and forgot to -vote. Could he have cast the deciding vote? A—No. The chair is not privileged to break a tie when the vote

| |

i | was by ballot. He may vote by | ballot only before the tellers | have started counting the bal- | lots. The essential feature of | balloting is secrecy. One could { not cast the deciding ballot | without exposing his. vote. [
