The Committee has been in operation under Senate rule t time, its work has been largely educational and records two years. During tLa and corrective. It has found that students for been careless in keeping their rervhts been difficult for them to make ea isfactory statements. t tee has held conferences with the ct— mi carious ctudent bodies and attempted Report of to instruct them in the vork of keeping their financial records andln making their annual financial reports. Practically all student Wgam irations have shown a willingness and desire to cooperate with the Committee in keeping accurate and satisfactory records. In some hp I stances, the Committee has had to show considerable persistenCy and firmness in getting ti; stu Owe ts to make reports. In some cases, the students, by reason of careless methods,}mVemt 1 1 oeen able to give complete reports, and the Committee has been compfiiw to pass on incomplete evidence. This is due in the main, we believe m carelessness, rather than to improper handling of funds. In suchcamni the Committee has approved the reports only so far as the evidencesuh mitted showed, and has issued warning s to suck organizat ions that flflkr evidence must be submitted in the futur . Your Committee ha co me to the conclusion, after due deliberatmn, that the publication 0 reports annually will have a most favorable n- fluence in this Work; It will encourage class 0: ficers to strive a keep their re cords in such cor dition as will meet the full approvalof the Committee and the members of the organization represented. S r- I The most flagrant wrong with which we have had to deal is the ; failure of class officers to keep vouchers for expenditures.

One or two other organizations that should have reported have escaped our notice, but we have a more accurate lfii for the coming year and expect to include all organizations. Attenfiw is called to the fact that we have not audited reports of dances or Single performances by a class, as we expect such organizations to UP clude these items in their annual reports. We have prepared for the Printer a more detaieed statement WhiCHls in process of being printed, and will be distributed to organizationSOEI the campus. ; n Attention is also calbd to the fact that this report covers the period from July 1, 1920 to July 1, 1921.

It is report on the M d 'Wort annually on the financial audit of all organiza- 0 our custom to r tions, but owing t. matter we are making this special report. the queStions arising in connection with this (1) we have passed on the Vouchers submitted by Mr. EVans and hr. Wilsor regarding the finances of the Mikado performance. So far as th= vouchers go the report is in proper form. A question arose regarding the integrity of some of the supportung vouchers in connect' n with ticket sales. We invited Professor Lanpert to come before the Committee and make a statement. As a reSilt of the evidence submitted, our committee is of the opinion that the whole financial ajfair of the Mikado performance at Lexington was very poorly managed and open to criticism. It should be pointed out, however, that Professor hampert did not handle the funds in connec- tion with the performance, and that it was his desire that the matter be properly handled. Without attempting to enter into the matter in detail We are confinind our report to the statement that in our judgment the method of management Was questionable and open to criticism. (2) There is transmitted herewith certain correspondence from the Student Loan Fund Committee regarding the performance. Your Committee takes the attitude that it is concerned only with the fidelity of reports, and that the question raised by the Student Lean Fund Committee is one for the Senate or other administrative authorities to deal with. It is pointed out that the Student Loan Fund Committee in a second communication withdrew part of its re— quest, and left this Committee free to do as it liked in transmitting the correspondence to the Senate. Since they have left the matter in this form, however, We consider that we have nothing €136 t0 d0 but to transmit the whole matter to the Senate without comment. Respectfully submitted Wellington Patrick D. H. Peak Edward Wiest Henry E. Curtis Auditing Committee for Student Organizations” The follom;ng is a copy of the correspondence from the Student Loan Committee in regard to the performance of the Mikado: "To the Auditing Committee for Student Enterprises Jan. 26) 1922 University of Kentucky ' Gentlemen: ~ , i .. . i n ' .L H ‘ The financial statement of the Mikado recently riled Mluh oncrable ”A”. v-qr “V "‘ by Mr. Evans, Production Manager, being a report open to pection, has been examined with much interest. we be permitted to respectfully call your attention to ’ certain portions of this report in particular, and to certain facts ' relative thereto. There is transmitted herewith several copies if the Le ington Herald and Leader showing advertisements of the Mikado, and also a copy of a billboard poster advertising Mikado. It will be noted from the accompanying copies that the Mikado was advertised ”for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund”, in all advertisements appearing before the public; in not one that has been found was such statement omitted, and in no published statement Was it ever suggested that “W other person, organization or fund was to receive any benefit whatewr. Upon this represe tation to the public, may of whom patronized Mikado because of such representation, we submit to you this proposition flat the Student Loan Fund is alOne entitled to all orofit resulting thmm- from. The fact that permission Was not asked of tie Loan Committee to so advertise, and that the Committee was not informed of the intmr tions of the Mikado cannot be deemed an abridgment of the right of tn Loan Fund to claim as its OWn all profit. i t f It appears from the financial report that the gross receipts I were $1,310 and that the tonal necessary expenses of production were $719.71 leaving a balance of $590.29 as profit. It further appears that of this $590.29, the sum of $565.20 has been expended for unifomm for the University Band, under the vert proper designation of "Extramd-; inary Disbursements." May we submit that such disbursement is, as m admitted, "e2trrnrdinary", that it is irregular, and in view of the ) public advertiSements of Mikado, unjust and unfair, and that such ex- penditure should not be approved in the audit of these funds. It is to be noted that the balance of $590.29, which was not so i expended, amounting to $25.09, is reported as "balance on hand”, Cflwlw with the very illuminating, and in view of the facts, very extraordinwy statement from the ”Production Manager" that the ”balance of $25 shmfld be transferred to the account of the Department of Music, unless Pmfies sor Carl Lanmert directs otherwise. This statement is very signifhmm in that it would appear that the production manager does not acknowledge the right of the Loa: Fund to even this unexpended balance. The stam- ment is also significant in that the production manager recognizes Prr fessor Carl Lannert as the sole and final authority upon the dispositwn of funds of the Mikado. In view therefore of the foregoing, we Would respectfully urge: dent Loan Fund is entitled to the payment of the (1) ”hat the Stu c of $25.00. Student Loan Fund is entitled to the return of $565fl0 2 ed in payment of bills which did not gr w out of the production of Mikado, and had absolutely no relation thereto. (3) That the Auditing Committee should not approve the financial statement submitted until conditions (1) and (2) have been met. {4) That if conditions (1) and (2) be not met in a reasonable tflfi’ a e improperly erpznd that the whole matter should be laid before the University Senateo to he at any aver. ado that are- 3 4 ten— the re rs forms reord- 5 is 3 X" :o dupled iinary Lould 'ofes- Tioant rledge itate- Pro- ,ition the, ..._.
