Every afternoon on campus and in downtown Vestanrants, we see students sipping cokes and other drinks flavored with sugared carbon dioxide. .This practice is one of Penn State's greater tradi tions. Far be it from us. of course, to cast disparaging remarks about certain beverage companies, but Wie. believe that they would hardly miss a few dimes not spent on their products and contribut ed. instead, to the "March of nimes" drive. The amount of money spent on drinks in one. ihour at the Sandwich Shop any weekday after, noon could buy ode pair of braces for an infantile paralysis patient. This assumption is ours, of course, but we think it is fairly accurate :ing from recent observations.

If, on;the other hand, Ido come in, but omit to sign in, I receive a black mark,, and event ually. a campus. This is unjust—the more so be cause in every dorm I have ob served- personal ft:iends of the student "checker" somehow ma gically avoid the dreaded black marks. The justice of the case is not the issue; however. The issue is simple: safety. Certainly, no one in Penn State wants a itpetition of last year's terrible tragedies, yet the whole system all but in vites it. This is not an idle complaint. I can suggest a remedy for the sit- uation 1. The check-in system should be recognized as valueless (as it works now, one girl checks a whole floor or a.whole dorm, pre dent or not) and discarded. 2. Some reliable individual of authority should personally make a room to room check to see that each girl is really in the building at the proper time. 3. Blackmarks and campuses should be given only for actual of fenses, not for minor infractions of useles,s - Now I shall close and mail this. Monday your cony editor will dis cLrd it.
