Reform and money continue to be the dominant interests oc­cupying
the attention of President Dick Pederseri's ASB admin­istration,
now entering its fourth and final quarter. Throughout the
year, Pedersen and the Board of Control have been striving to
improve and streamline Western's student body government, at the
same time wrestling with difficult financial problems.
Wednesday's board session contained both of these elements
with a committee report on a new ASB property purchasing system
and action on the purchase of spring sports awards.
The reform measure, drawn up by*
Larry Wilson, Betty Grocott, and
faculty adviser Harvey Gelder pro­poses
a purchase and inventory sys­tem
which would give the Board of
Control more accurate accounting of
property purchased with ASB funds.
tinder the program, a salaried
property manager would maintain
an inventory of capital-type equip­ment
and would be responsible for
periodic reports to the board. The
manager's signature would be re­quired
on all requisitions for pur­chase
of permanent equipment, as
defined in the committee proposal,
and including such items as type­writers,
musical instruments, musical
and athletic uniforms, stage scenery
and props, and books.
Although received favorably, the
report was returned to the commit­tee
with recommendations.
LETTERS PURCHASED
After a thorough discussion with
Athletic Director Charles Lappen-busch,
the board voted to increase
the 1951-52 athletic budget by $468.09

Brehmar tb Observe
Fourth as Citizen
Just in time to celebrate In­dependence
day properly, Bert
Brehmer, of the college main­tenance
staff, became an Amer­ican
citizen this week in U. S.
district court.
The completion of naturaliza­tion
clears up the citizenship
status of the German-born col­lege
fireman. Although born in
Germany, Brehmer has lived in
this country since 1890, and al­ways
assumed that he had de­rived
citizenship through his
father.
Also legalized for Brehmer was
ah Americanization of his first
name, which had been "Bert-hold"
until bis petition for a
change* to "Be>t" was granted by
the court.

workshop, with emphasis on meth­ods
of stimulating children's inter­est
and encouraging their abilities.

week to a study of group projects
tailored to the use of everyday ma­terials
found in the smallest school.
The!'program is for teachers of all

studies at the University of Penn­sylvania
