Sunnell said he Would request i opies of the Ilia mint's
source documents from the University administration
to discover where the money came from and where it
should go
"Until we see the source dm uuietits. it's hard to tell
where the account's deposits t ante from," Sunnell said
Although tlie University is working on many other is
sues, sin li as budget lilts caused by 1‘100's Measure a.
.ill of the information about the account yvill lie avail

Moseley said the account's records have not yet tieen
transferred to a new i omputer system, whu h makes re
viewing the account more difficult and time-consum
ing.
"This information is fortfu oining,' Moseley said
