WELL, OL’ TIMER!
There is no doubt but that Alumni Day has become one of our
best week-end events and that, as an annual affair, it should become
fixed in Pehn State’s calendar. The old grads have been here and are
now back in the mazes of the world's industry. But we have the
memory of a glorious Saturday.
Again we are sure that benefits have accrued to both the Alumni
and to their Alma Mater from their visit. They will be able to return
to their work with more youthful vigor than they have felt in a year;
they will be able to face their many problems with more of that bull
dog tenacity that is injected into any true Penn State man when he
sees his football team on the gridiron. On the other hand, the under
graduate has gained, to a greater extent, a realization of the worthi
ness of the college and of the love which a student generally holds
for the institution where he has been trained for the struggle with
Life; he has seen an impressive example of the old time spirit of
which he has heard so much and which he is trying to uphold; he has
experienced that flood of fellowship that engulfs a group of Penn
State men when they meet. He is glad that he is a member of that
great Penn State brotherhood.
Now that it is known Alumni Day is the success that it should be
in regard to quality, let us carefully Teview the quantity. The number
that returned to the Nittany Valley this year did not greatly exceed
last year’s representation. The undergraduates realize that a man of
the world can not leave his position for a week-end whenever he
wishes, but surely there are more who can come back and who did not.
This is something for the college and the student body to work for.
To a considerable extent, more publicity is needed. At least one
month before the date of Alumni Day, each alumnus should receive
such an earnest appeal to come back and such a glowing account of
the good times he is missing that he would be unable to stay away.
He would then approach his employer with the all-important question
and the chances are in his favor. Why not try it anyway?
TIE-UP SCRAP
With the first class scrap only a few days away, it is proper to
sound a word of warning to the sophomores and freshmen. The mem
bers of these classes will be expected to turn out next Saturday one
hundred percent strong and no excuse of absence is liable to be tol
erated.
The showing made last year in the. scrap was probably the poorest
that has ever been made in the history of the college. The sopho
mores added no laurels to their class honor that day. Heats were run
of fifty men each and that class had only enough men on the field
to run through two heats. It is extremely doubtful if there were more
than one hundred and fifty second year men that saw the scrap. The
freshmen can not be accredited with such a poor turnout. They re
ported in full numbers and gave a good account of themselves.
Therefore, the underclassmen are advised to attend the scrap next
Saturday in view of the fact that Student Council, Student Tribunal,
and the members of the upper classes are determined to have customs
strictly enforced. The Tribunal has made an excellent record this
year. The student body has proved that it will support student regu
lations to the limit. There have been more cases turned in to the Tri
bunal so far this year than were turned in during an entire semester last
year. There have been more haircuts so far this semester than there
were the entire school year of 1921-1922. This is but an indication of
the feeling of the student body on the question of customs. Let the
underclassmen recognize the spirit of the times and act in accordance
with the dictates of the majority.
ITS A GOOD TEAM
Coach Bezdek and his staff and the entire college with all its
friends may well be proud of the gridiron team that is wearing the
Blue and White colors this year. Imbued with a spirit of cooperation,
working with the definite aim of conquering all foes to the glory of
Penn State, and radiating that spirit of loyalty which acknowledges
no superior, the Nittany Lions are about to meet the last and hardest
half of their season’s schedule. Syracuse, Navy, Carnegie Tech,
Penn, and Pitt arc to be. in turn, the foes on foreign fields. Each one
of this quintet is anxious to stop the victorious Nittany march. It
is surely a stalwart and worthy team that can merge the conqueror.
Our hopes are centered in this little group of eleven men, selected
from thousands to carry the Penn State banner. We wish them the
best of luck.

ENROLLMENTS THIS TEAR

LAFAYETTE celebrates
VICTORY OVER PITT
Lafayette students celebrated their
v!ctor>* over the Pitt Panther last Mon
day by taking a holiday without fac
ulty permission and staging a huge
bonfire as the center of activities. So
much keen rlvnlry exists between the
two schools that the Lafayette studes
put their feelings into action and burned
an efllgy of Holleran, the Pitt captain,
amid the shouts and cheers of the cel
!ebraters.
“Y” CAMPAIGN POSTPONED i
UNTIL DECEMBER FIRST I CampUS GoSSip
At a recent iniHJtlng of the Y. M. C. ■ I
A. cabinet and advisory board It was; Tlie student population of State Col-;
decided to postpone the Y. M. C. A. ! luge is 3300. 300 of whom gut up before
fliianrial campaign until the first week breakfast. j
In December. Because of the fact that o— — I
men who have been helping to forward Hoarding house victims, beware of
the College campaign would have to plank steak! They're feeding cows a
start work immediately upon the “Y". sawdust mixture now
campaign if the previously announced
date for the linaueJal project was not
changed, it was deemed advisable to
hold it at some future date.
The postponement of this campaign |
does not necessarily mean that the |
Penn State Y. M. C. A. is not in neyil;
of money, for the entire future success |
of the Y. M. C. A. activities rests upon
the outcome of this tlmuiclul enterprise. I
There will be only one such campaign ■
during the year ami the individual Htu-j
dents will nut be asked for an unrea- 1
stumble amount. Unlike former years,
when all sukserlptlons were usually
jiald at one time, It Is tentatively tie* i
tided to forward this project ulong the’
lines of the College building fund cam
paign. Thus each student will not have
' to make any unusual efforts to meet
their subscriptions.
W. W. Stahl -24
Besides the entertainment course,
which is the finest and best that has
ever been put on at Penn State, the
Y. M. C. A. is providing free lectures,
movies, and various other entertain
ments. In order to continue this work
which is vital to the social welfare of
the college it Is necessary for the stu
dent body to give them sufllclcnt finan
cial support.
The full details of the campaign,
which is now scheduled to he held the
first week In December, will be an
nounced at some future date.

SEEKING a symbolic figure to represent Knowl
edge, let us turn awny from the muses of
antiquity and the be-capped and be-gowned
youth of our own day.
How about the Football Flayer Tackling a
Dummy? Isn’t he typical of everything you do
in these four years?
You are the Football Player. The dummy is
every knotty problem you tackle, every effort
to earn your way through, every examination,
every campus activity.
Tackle the dummy hard, and you’ll be rendy
for even bigger tests in the game of business or
professional life.
Do not say about this symbol, “How clever”,
and let it go at that. It is worth nothing unless
it reminds you to get the spirit of the Tackier
into your work.
By his earnestness he seems to feel the thrill
of combat. With set jaws and muscles tense he
plunges at the dummy. For him it is alive, and
the practice is a means to win the game.

college, here is a man to measure up to.
