February 27, 1959 THE CONCORDIAN Page 3 The End of the Road KOBB Receives Funds Through Senate Action Campus radio station KOBB received a $207.50 appropriation from Student Senate Tuesday to purchase a new turntable costing $90, and 10 direct-wire speakers costing $8 each. Another speaker costing $37.50, which will be placed in the cafeteria, also received Senate approval. An additional KOBB request for $400 to purchase a new tape recorder was turned down by the senators after Student Association Treasurer Dick Hodges explained that despite a current $1900 surplus in Student Associa- tion funds he felt it would not be expedient to make any larger appropriations until the financial success or failure of the all- school musical is known since it has top priority in student gov- ernment responsibilities. Other Senate action was the election of Harold Hanson to replace Ron Marken on the official Concordia delegation to the ELC Conference at St. Olaf next weekend. Rein Uritam was named to the Senate committee on KOBB to replace retiring mem- ber Nate Folland.
