These vouchers shall not be approved by any officer or officers authorized to approve the same, unless so itemized, giving minutiae of detail, and when vouchers are presented to the auditor of state for warrants, they shall be accompanied by said itemized accounts and statements: Provided, That in the case of Purdue University, Indiana University, The Ball State Teachers College and The Indiana State Teachers College, the auditor of state shall be authorized to draw warrant upon a verified schedule of claims submitted by the treasurer of such university or college; all itemized claims included in such schedule shall be filed by such college or university as a part of its public records.

Traveling expenses; receipted bills; per diem
     Sec. 2. In all accounts rendered for traveling expenses, receipted bills for each item, except railroad fare, shall be submitted. However, the budget agency, in cooperation with the department of administration, is authorized to fix per diem or per diems in lieu of traveling expenses, other than transportation, in such amounts as they deem proper and equitable but in no case shall such per diem exceed the amount established in the appropriation act. When per diem is fixed receipted bills for each item are not necessary. Per diem when fixed may include meals, lodging, and all other traveling expenses except transportation. It will be sufficient in items covering railroad fare to verify same, if advisable, by referring to published tariff rates, and auto transportation shall be at the rate not to exceed the rate provided in the appropriation act. Constructive charges shall be eliminated from all vouchers, and under no circumstances shall the appropriation of the succeeding fiscal year be anticipated by predecessor.
