Dave,
You were not alone with the Bic ball point.
We had the same set up - you were issued one of those yellow Bics to start with and when it ran out you had to hand it in to get another one. Only trouble was everyone had an identical pen to start with but, inevitably, someone ended up with two and another without. I will steal yours before you steal mine!.
One had to requisition everything; paper, pens, pencils - the lot.
If one was caught without a requisition form to requisition more requisition forms you were stuffed.
It took a long while for the powers to realise that 'flooding the market' was cheaper in the long run.
