Banks say erasable ink unsuitable for checking
Erasable ink would solve the annoying problem of scratched out marks or of starting for those who are less than perfect with a pen. However, a pen with erasable ink could present some serious problems when people who use the need 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 instruments in order to guard against any possible alteration of these instruments."
This statement appears on the pen's package.
Jean Baker, assistant vice president掌
stored on the Douglas County Bank, said
she thought all banks were aware of and
interested about possible problems with the
bank.
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 takes three minutes to erase 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."
Julie Burroughs, teller at the University State Bank, said, "Until it does become permanent, you can erase records 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 Eraser Mate stock, the first begin selling the nick stock.

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, concerns the investments of the Endowment Association's investments.
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.
Senate to discuss touchy issues
The other resolution, recommended for rejection by the rights committee, supports a proposal to include a $10,000 grant.
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 effect.
and regulations of the Senate for a housing board.
MARGARET BERLIN, student body president, said that if the committee were to make a decision on the recommendation that it be defeated, she would make a point of telling the Senate that there were only four members of the Senate who were present to discuss the merits of the bill.
Anderson and Kent Mcklenburg, 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 boc commissioner.
TWO SPEAKERS will be guests at tonight's meeting. Bernard Franklin, a scholar and former student of the School of Law, will speak.
