As for the artist, I understand Bok has spoken for himself in an 'open letter' which should be published in this mailing. He hablado /s/ Norman F. Stanley Rex Imp. 29 January 1946 By the Grace of Foo, of the fanish lands king, lord of Obsequious Manor, etc. ROBERT W LOWNDES'S MESSAGE In regard to Fapamember Laney's fears in regard to Vanguard siphoning off the better members of FAPA, or from FAPA's waiting list: certainly we shall sound out persons who look like likely Vangardifs of the type we seek. However, at no time shall we dissuade any person from joining FAPA or continuing activity therein. Vanguard does not consider itself as in competition with FAPA, and our membership requirements will become stricter rather less strict as time goes by.

Chauvenet in regards the actual extent of the Vie President's constitutional powers, and their application in this instance to the question of censorship of matter mailed to member by the Official Editor. After some thought I've arrived at these conclusions: 1) Plainly, a Vice President's powers for not extend beyond those three specific items in the Constitution, the third and last of which says he shall "act as the judiciary of the Association." A Vice-President's powers doe not extend beyond rulings on the interpretations of the Constitution. Mr. Chauvenet's earlier ruling regards censorship is in the nature of an extraconstitutional ruling and actually usurps the Constitutional powers of the President. The President and not all four officers shall "have all the necessary powers to deal with such situations not otherwise covered in the Constitution. Chauvenet's ruling placing censorship powers in the hands of the four officers was a directive, not an interpretation. It is accordingly declared null and void. 2) President Stanley has upheld Official Editor Speer's stand on censorship. The Editor does not constitutionally hold censorship powers; however, inasmuch as the President has by implication and announcement approved the Editor's statement that he (the Editor) would never again mail an item close to
