There's a national day for everything, and today it's bow ties. Muhlenberg College President Peyton Randolph "Randy" Helm, a diehard bow tie wearer, took to You Tube to show the world just how to tie one.

"If there's one thing you need to know, it's how to tie a bow tie," Helm tells the audience, "because we all know, bow ties are cool."

Helm, a history scholar and former University of Pennsylvania administrator who has led the Allentown college since 2003, warns watchers not to use clip ons: "Not cool."
