"I first determined that tickets numbered consecutively one through 3,750 had been picked up from the Irvin Fuller business office," said Sue Ann Houghton, administrative assistant who did the audit. "Since all of these tickets I have been sold, a total of $7,500 should have been deposited in the university treasurer's office." After checking all deposit receipts from the treasurer's office, Roughton found only $5,785 had been deposited, she said. The Irvin Fuller Co. has sold tickets to the student government for $2 since November to be sold to the students at the same price. The cumiKtuy uwiib it iuuvic uicaicra m 7 Columbia.

"My theory is that maybe someone took tickets instead of the money to resell them." Hopkins said he based this idea on the large amount oi money missing ana a cirop in sales in March. Hopkins said he tried to keep the amount in the cash box low, and he did this partly by cashing checks for himself and sometimes for the secretaries in the student government office. "I feel certain I did not abuse the cash box by doing this. I jj - -a. s ? a a was ttirmu u siuuem may iry 10 reach in and grab the cash if there was a large amount in the box."

Houghton said she went over the procedures with Hopkins before the sales began back in November. Each day Hopkins was to keep a sales sheet, including the number of the first and last ticket sold and the amount of money collected.

If sales extended past five p.m., Hopkins was to deposit the money in the student media office safe, but he was not to take the money and tickets from the Russell House, except to make a deposit at the treasurer s oitice, Hougnton said. No money was ever deposited in the media office safe, according to Jon Clemmensen, student media general manager. The media office closes at 5 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. "It is my belief that these instructions were not followed since I have not seen an audit sheet since November and all of the deposits slips were not given to me," Kougtiton said in a letter to Mcu>y.
