Banks say erasable ink unsuitable for checking
Erasable ink would solve the annoying problem of scratch-out marks or of starting over for those who are less than perfect with a pen. However, a pen with erasible ink could present some serious problems because people who use the pens to write checks
The Eraser Mate, a pen made by Paper Mate, writes with what looks like regular ink, but the ink can be erased with a standard eraser.
This feature of the pen prompted the American Bankers Association to recommend, "You should not use Eraser Mate to sign or endorse checks or other similar documents in order to guard your personal possible alteration of these instruments."
This statement appears on the pen's package.
Jean Baker, assistant vice president掌管 the Douglas County Bank, said she thought all banks were aware of and learned about possible problems with the pet.
However, she said, "There is no way we can control the kind of pens customers use.
"All we can do is encourage our customers to not use instruments like these to write or endorse checks, for their own good."
The pen's package says the erasable ink eventually becomes permanent, but no time period is specified. In one instance, it was erased and a durable erasable two days after the pen was used.
"We have enough problems with people trying to alter permanent ink.
"At this stage we haven't had much contact with them, so it's really hard to say what would happen if people started buying them up."
Juille Burroughs, teller at the University State Bank, said, "Until it does become permanent, you can erase it and that makes the pens just like pencils.
Art Cromer, manager of Gibson Discount Center, 2525 Iowa St., said the store had sold a third of its Enrase Mate stock since it first began selling the ink
"They're selling particularly well for a new item," he said.

Two controversial issues will be discussed at the last meeting of the Student Senate at 6:30 tonight in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
Senators will consider two resolutions concerning Kansas University Endowment Association investments in South Africa. One of the resolutions, which is recommended for approval by the Student Rights Committee, represents the goals of the Endowment Association's investments.
Senate to discuss touchy issues
The other resolution, recommended for rejection by the right committee, supports the proposed resolution.
The Senate also will consider a bill to establish an off-campus housing board. Melanie Anderson, co-chairman of the Student Services Committee, called that bill "a subversion of the Senate rules and regulations."
Anderson told a skeleton services committee last night that the bill did not take into account the costs.
and regulations of the Senate for a housing board.
MARGARET BERLIN, student body president, said that if the committee recommended it, the Senate would recommend that it be defeated, she would make a point of telling the Senate that there were only four members of the committee present to discuss the merits of the bill.
Anderson and Kent Mecklenburg, cochairman of the services committee, said Berlin had a personal interest in the passage of the bill. Berlin promised during her campaign that she would establish an off-campus housing board.
Mecklenburg said, "She wants everyone to rubber stamp this."
The services committee will recommend that the bill be returned to an ad hoc com- munity.
TWO SPEAKERS will be guests at bnight's meeting, Bernard Franklin, a doctor at the Bronx Hospital.
