WORK BEGUN ON "YSBRAND"
REHEARSALS EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK.
Will Be Given Jan. 14 and 15 Souvenir Edition of Play to Be Issued.
With the closing of the holiday season, work has begun in earnest on "Ysbrand," the Van Eeden play to be given by the University. The dates of the presentations have been set at January 14 and 15, at the Bowersock opera house. Rehearsals are being held every day this week, and next week will be held the dress rehearsals.
The music for the play is to be furnished by the University orchestra. Dean Skilton is arranging for some stringed instrument music which will be a special feature of each performance.
A special souvenir edition of the text of "Ysbrand" is being prepared by Prof. S. F. Whitcomb and Prof. F. N. Raymond from the manuscript translation made by a Connecticut woman, a friend of Dr. Van Eeden. This is being printed by the Lawrence Journal and will be ready by the end of this week.
CHECKED UP ACCOUNTS.
State Officials Found Money Matters in Good Shape.
The auditing of the accounts of Secretary and Purchasing Agent E. E. Brown, of the University, was accomplished by state officers during the vacation just closed. For some years it has been the custom of the Board of Regents to appoint a committee of its own members to audit accounts, but by reason of the great increase of business, it was necessary to give up this plan.
On Tuesday, December 28, State Auditor J. M. Nation and State Accountant J. C. Stafford, to together with two assistants from the latter's office, began an examination of the books of the business office of the University. This examination was in accordance with a request made by the Board of Regents, and it is expected that such a check-up will be made at least once each year. The work of verifying accounts and making a complete report of the receipts and disbursements required the time of the three representatives from the state accountant's office in addition to the assistance given by the University office, and was not completed until Monday of this week.
According to statements made the records were found to be in excellent condition and officers of the University were complimented on the methods used and system now in operation, and the accuracy of accounts.
