Auditors examine work-study
By Jim Moore

University auditors are ex
amining Food-Op records of
past fiscal years and will then
check other organizations'
work-study programs, accor
ding to Gary Powell of the in
ternal audit division of the
Chancellor’s office.
“We are working on identify
ing the time period that may
be involved," says Powell.
A preliminary audit of the
Food-Op from July 1982 to
April 1983 has shown an
overlap of 361 hours on stu
dent’s work-study timesheets
— that is, time they were paid
for when actually in class.
Investigators are now trying
to determine how far back
such misconduct goes, Powell
says. That phase of the audit
should be complete this week
and the sampling of other pro
grams will begin.
“We will be doing a test of
some of the other programs to
assure ourselves this hasn’t
been going on elsewhere,”
says Powell.
Other programs using work
study students are neither sur
prised nor alarmed at the
possibility of being audited.
"I’m not surprised they’re
looking at other programs,”
says Scott Jones, assistant
director of the Survival Center.
The Survival Center, an ASUO
program, has nothing to worry
about and will not be changing
any procedures, he says.
The EMU, one of the largest
employers of work-study
students and a University pro
gram, also plans no changes,
according to director Adell
McMillan. Appropriate
changes will be made, she
says, if the audit results in
dicate any are needed.
"I can't imagine any pro
blems in this office,” says
Wendell Gilland, the Library’s
student payroll clerk. While
there are only 40 to 50 work
study students during summer
term, the library hires as many
as 150 when school is in full
session, he says.
Work-study students are
under close supervision at the
library, says Gilland, and
hours reported on timesheets
are verified before being sent
to the payroll office.
Another University program
that uses many work-study
students is the department of
recreation and intramurals. Its
summer director, Bob Moss, is
not concerned about being
audited.
‘‘We’ve never had any pro
blem with our work-study pro
gram,” he says, adding that
RIM has “always had good
people” working for it.
RIM will employ four or five
full-time, work-study
employees when fall term
starts but will hire 20 to 25
more as game officials.
Like the library and EMU,
the University News Bureau
has its work-study employees,
which usually number six,
follow precise guidelines
under the close supervision of
professionals.
‘‘We use the University’s
own very strict procedures,”
says director Barbara Petura.
And the bureau is not concern
ed about an audit, she says.
All work-study students,
whether in ASUO programs or
employed by the University,
fill out identical timesheets
and those sheets have been a

source of controversy.
Because the sheets only
contain one “in” and one
“out” box for each work day,
it’s natural students will mark
a time that reflects how long
they actually worked even if
they did not work those par
ticular hours, according to
ASUO Vice Pres. Kevin Kouns.
The ASUO has recommend
ed to the University’s business
offfice that those sheets be
changed so accurate times
can be reflected, says ASUO
Pres. Mary Hotchkiss.
