Maybe the fine had in volved too much book work and accounting for Old Main's administrative offices. Whatever the :reason might have been, it is now generally agreed, with very little dissension from students, that the fine had not functioned with as much benefit as imended. But just when it had begun to look as though the fine problem was dead and buried, the Col lege came forth with another restriction—the drop-add fine of one dollar. This fine has its merits . , chief among which is its reputation for being iron-clad. But ask the first one hundred students you 'meet today, and you will get one hundred good arguments for scrapping the drop add fine. Previous to this fine ruling, the College had in stituted a two-week deadline at the beginning of each semester, during which time a student could drop or add courses as he deemed necessary. But :now it costs money to change your course—money which might well be used to buy ten defense s to mps. Granted, a few students did finis-use the old system of drop-adds. ScOres of unnecessary changes were made, and the administration was :forced to do a certain amount of extra registra tion work. Now with the fine in operation, drop adds have become almost as extinct as new auto :mdbile tires. The College guessed correctly when it pre-determined the great value that most stu dents would place on an unproductive dollar bill. After all, there are scores of instances when it As practically imperative for students to make achedule changes. Many appeals heard recently seem to be backed by sound reasoning, but the :fine ruling is still iron-clad as far as student in itiative is concerned. In view of student opinion, here's to the aboli tion of the drop-add fine. Rub 'Em Out, Girls Speaking of salvage, and while everybody is scouring the countryside for relics of World War .[ to contribute to the Scrap For The Jap" cam paign, there is an amazing amount of vital sal vageable RUBBER literally underfoot. In practically every campus building and es pecially in the girl's dormitories, lengths of hall long rubber mats and rubber door mats are wast ing away under the tread of innumerable feet, .when they could be easily converted into tires or other needed war products. Although the War Production Board is at pres ent engaged in a drive for 6,000,000 pounds of scrap steel and iron, scrap rubber salvage is by no means discouraged. In fact, although the rub ber drive had its official moment in the sun, the scrap collected in front of borough gasoline sta tions wouldn't make enough reclaimed rubber for a soccer ball. After all the Sons of Nippon control 97 per cent of the world's supply of rubber—and that ain't a two-way stretch. Even though we were caught with our rubber plants down, Donald M. Nelson, head of theWPB, 'has assured us that reclaimed rubber can supply the nation's needs until the synthetic chemists ,start their production ball rolling. Of course, the mats are college property, girls, but if you're willing to forego the pleasure of treading on cushioned rubber, perhaps the admin kfration will have no objection to contribute the future bomber and icep tires to pave the way for g_tting some of thi - ,t 9 per cent bock in American —M.

This was to have been our farewell column, but Pittsburgh Draft Board No. 10 sent us a 2-A de ferment instead of an induction notice. So, you dear readers (hat meri'included) must put up with this drivel for 10 weeks more. This column is supposed to appeal to all the senses. Grab a clothespin, kids, cause here goes!- Smart, These Ensigns We rode on a bus last weekend beside one , of the ensigns stationed here. In the course of a conversation he said he'd been in LewistoWn where he knew some swell girls he could 'date. • "Don't you ever date any of the girls up here at state College?" we asked him, just to make . talk. He looked at us with contempt. "Hell, no.. The high school kids are too young, and the college girls . . ." He just looked out of the window and shook his head sadly. We never did find out what he meant. Life Is So Futile Me had a girl Her did me dirt. Me did not know, her was flirt To those'in love let me forbid Lest they be dood Like I been did. This Rings The Bell The way we heard it, the new girl stenographer's thoughts over at Old Main were wandering. She got the letter to Angel & Angel written all right, but then she addressed the envelope to High Street, Bellefonte, instead of Baltimore. Three days later the post office returned the envelope marked: "No Angels on High Street, Bellefonte." • Latest Sweepings -Fisigkappa prexy Bob Roy is back in line with Kappa Peggy Campsey—after a non-correspon dence vacation . . .
