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

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

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

Attention is also calbd to the fact that this report covers the

"To the University Senate:

Through President hoVey we are transmitting to you a special
.VO performance in Lexington this winter. 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.

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

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.

Gentlemen:

At a meeting yesterday of the Student Loan Committee to uhich
Professor Carl hampert had been invited to discuss the financial
report of “Mikado” and in particular the claims of the Student Laon
Fund as set out in our let:er of January 26 addressed to the Auditing
Committee, after very full discussion, it was ordered that the Chair—
man of the Student Lean Fund Commi ttee request of the Auditing
Committee the privilege of Withdrawing their claim as set out in
paragraph 4 in the letter referred to, which reads as follows: "That
if Conditions (1) and (2) be not met in a reasonable time, that the
whole matter should be laid before the University Senate.

In compliance therefore with the order of the Committee, I am
requesting that the above paragraph he considered eliminated from
their letter.

It may be said, however, in explanation that the Committee noes
not desire to relinquish its rights as set out in said letter and
this request is not a repudiation of their former position, but this
paragraph is requested withdrawn that your Auditing Committee may

have the greatest freedom in the disposal of this matter and may take
such action as it thinks best unhindered by any suggestion from the
Student Loan Fund Committee.
