Assistant Ncwh Editor Assistant Advertising Manager •T-vaduate Counselor Thursday, April 15, 1943 WB Steps In Recently the War Production Board clamped down on uncontrolled buying of laboratory equip ment by colleges that are getting ready for their influx of Army and Navy trainees. In a move to assure all colleges sufficient equip ment to teach physics and other required courses to the military students WPB ordered that col leges must get the Board’s approval before order ing supplies. This move, WPB officials pointed out, will particularly protect the colleges whose V-12 and Army Specialized Training Programs don't-start until summer By requiring WPB approval, excessive buying by any one-college can be checked and the avail able laboratory equipment will be spread equit ably among the many institutions that need it,' WPB officials report. Before restrictions were or dered, laboratory supplies were being ordered by colleges at a rate which threatened to soak up more equipment than manufacturers could pro duce in two years. . The actual terms of the order provide that col leges must fill out WPB form PD-620, submit it t'o WPB; and present the approved form to the manufacturer when they order. Form PD-620 will require only one. day to clear through the Washington office, it is estimated. ■ . Even before the new order went, through, col leges were not entirely free to buy laboratory equipment' as they wanted, it. A former order re quired colleges to obtain WPB approval before ordering-equipment valued at more than. $5O per .item. However, ag most single items of equip ment cost less than that, colleges in practice sel ilom had ta deal through WPB. The present older ■ -, in the form-of-an amendment to the previous one—gives WPB complete control in the' field for the first time. Sunday Concerts Presentation of the annual Sunday afternoon concerts by the department of music is one of the things Penn State wouldn’t be quite the same without. Every year the series is looked forward io eagerly by the student body.. In past years,, when the enrollment was greater, some of the. concerts were so popular that they were pre sented' a second time. The Glee Club’s program; was one which drew exceptional response in past years. ' ' ; Although the activities of the musical organiza tions are not quite as numerous as they were in pre-war days, those groups have been maintained and have not been seriously affected by the war. ■ The Glee Club formerly made a state-wide trip, but financial difficulties curtailed, the' tours to various colleges, high schools and clubs. Nevertheless, the musical organizations, name ly, the Blue Band, Glee Club, College Choir, Col lege Symphony Orchestra, Phi Mu Alpha Orches tra, the Louise Homer Club, and the ROTC Band deserve special mention for the way they have carried on. Members of those groups have spent much time in practicing in order to present bet ter programs to entertain Penn State students. If this tradition of Spring Sunday afternoon concerts by the present groups has to go by the hoard through wartime necessities, it is a step which every Penn State will regret. The prob able limited student body will not furnish enough faalent to maintain tlie caliber of these organiza tions, but tlie Collegian hopes at least one can con tinue throughout the war to cairy on the good job i.he others have done. This Sunday the College Symphony Orchestra wilt.present the fourth in the series of Sunday .q'ternoon concerts sponsored by the music de partment. If it is like the other three it is-cer iiiniy worth attending. Downtowr. Office 119.121 South Fra/Jer St. Phone 4G72 I .co U. XiunmeV . .. Art Miller Helen Hatton, Fatty Reldocli Hit a M.
