Abolish The Fine
.Not too many months ago, the College enjoyed
the task of announcing that vacation cut fines
'would be discontinued. 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

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."
