Typewriter Purchase Hard For KU Physics Professor
Few students realize what a long, involved process it is to purchase an article for the University.
An example of this iong process is the purchase of a typewriter for Ralph Krone, associate professor of physics, for a research project in experimental nuclear physics.
Last fall Prof. Krone requested a typewriter. He made his request to J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, who is in charge of purchasing for the physics department.

Fill Out Form
Prof. Stranathan made out a purchase requisition on a form specified by the state. The purchase requisition has a description of the article desired, the estimated cost, and the room to which the article will go.
Prof. Stranathan submitted the requisition to the business office. Each day all requisitions received by the business office are sent to the
office of the chancellor where they are given a final approval.
The requisitions are then sent back to the business office where they are processed and sent to the state purchasing department in Topeka.
The purchasing department advertises for bids on an item. After ten days the bids are opened and the contract awarded.
However, the state has a contract with a typewriter company which supplies all typewriters bought by the state. Each year the major typewriter companies bid for this contract.
When the requisition for the typewriter was received in Topeka the purchasing department sent an order to the company. It also made out a purchase order voucher which was sent to the business office. The voucher was then forwarded to the physics department, which received the voucher two weeks after the original requisition.
An invoice was sent to the physics department which checked the typewriter to see if it was damaged. If an article is not damaged when it is received the department approves the invoice and sends it back to the business office. The invoice is then returned to Topeka.
Prof. Krone's typewriter was delivered to the department four months later. It usually takes only six weeks for an article to be delivered after the purchase requisition is made.
Check For Damage
When the state purchasing department receives the approved invoice it makes out a check and sends it to the business office. The business office sends the check to the supplier and the purchase is completed.
Final Dropouts Come Tomorrow
Can't tolerate a particular class? Fine. Just trot along to the registrar's office where 2,786 courses have already been dropped this semester.
The friendly people working under James K. Hitt will be happy to accept course withdrawals until Saturday. After then, all dropouts will be labeled either "withdrawn" or "failure" depending on the student's status.
