TRUTH THAT HURTS
But a few days remain before the celebration incident to the
fourth annual recurrence of Alumni Home-Coming. It is an event
on the Penn State calendar looked forward to by every student and
every alumnus with the best interests of the institution at heart.
It is a time of reunion, and truly a time for celebration.
Alumni Days have come and gone, and many of the objectionable
features of those first affairs have long since been corrected and'
forgotten. But there still remains a few abuses that should be ex
tirpated at once in order that events of this nature at Penn State
may become the clean-cut affairs that they should be. The tradi
tions of the Nittany institution should and do frown upon these
abuses and all that is needed is the leadership of a few determined
men to wipe them out.
First and foremost of all abuses in connection with Alumni
Day is that of drinking. The use of intoxicating liquors at any time
is bad enough, but it is doubly so at a time when alumni and out
side guests are brought here to see the college in gala attire. No
one likes to see a drunkard at a dance, and most undergraduates
would refuse to attend dances where such pitiable sights are the rule
Yet, by some freak in the psychology of students, an intoxicated man
at an Alumni Day celebration is regarded as funny and laughable.
It is true that where men meet and ponder over the magic of
intoxicating beverages, they find much conviviality. If they care
not how they get it, well and good But there are places for all
things and this is not the place and this week-end is emphatically not
the time for any such superficially acquired gayety.
Strong drink is a curse to the institution at any time, and an im
measurable amount of harm could be done to Penn Stite by embryo
drunkards at a time like this week,end. The-wheels of progressive
action should be set in motion for the extermination at this institu
tion for all time of one of the most detrimental influences to the
American college of today Penn State can not afford to have her
name associates with tne antics of a group of intoxicated under
graduates or graduates, as the case may be. The fair name at the
instituuon is at stake when unthinking persons connected with the
college lower their smith standards by using strong drink.
A QUESTIONABLE PASTIME
One of the favorite diversions of the human race, and one which
makes its appeal to all classes of people in some form or other, is
attracting undue attention in connection with the college youth of
today. The diversion to which reference is made is the one of gamb
ling and betting. College men, it would seem, are not immune from
the subtle charm and lure of the fleeting siren, Chance
For the past few years, public interest has been focused upon
gambling as applied to college football games, through comments
and discussions in the newspapers and magazines of the country
Such interest is not aroused by anything which is an accepted fact.
There must be something out of the ordinary about gambling which
does not meet with the approval of the ordinary man to cause such
comment.
About this time last year, Student Council, without a dissent
ing or protesting voice, endorsed a resolution opposing betting and
gambling in connection with football games. A question was raised
at the time as to whether or not that body was justified in taking
such action. It was contended that the Council had no right to ex
press its opinion on a matter which seems, at first thought, to be one
of a purely personal and individual nature But opinions differ on
such matters.
There is no disputing the fact, however, that gambling prevents
the development of the best type of college spirt by substituting the
element of personal loss or gain, by making it less easy to appre
ciate and applaud the good work of the opposing team, and by mak
ing it difficult for those who bet to lose with the good feeling of true
sportsmanship l't was for these reasons that Student Council took
action last year, and it is for these same reasons that the Council
should take a similar stand this year.
It is •true that the secret arts employed by the enticing element,
Chance, bring pleasures to the hearts of men. But wagering on col
lege football teams is not, in its entirety, a personal matter. The act
of one student affects others. The placing of money on a Penn State
team hurts that team. Not only does it harm the team, but it im
pairs the one who gambles.
RAZZING MUST STOP
In the old days, remembered, perhaps, by some of the alumni
planning to revisit Penn State this week-end, razzing was a common
occurrence. It was customary to razz opposing players for apparent
mistakes and referees for supposedly unjust decisions. And nothing
was thought of it, for it was but a reflection of the spirit of the times
when intercollegiate contests had just been inaugurated.
But those days are gone, never to return, and true sportsmanship,
as pertains to athletics, has taken on a different significance. Razz
ing of any kind, whether it be of players or officials, is discouraged
most emphatically. It is not in accord with the principles of sports
manship at any institution and decidedly not in keeping with the code
of ethics in this respect at Penn State.
There has been a tendency this year, more noticeable in each suc
ceeding game, on the part of the undergraduates to forget themselves
for an instant and let slip some remark or other not altogether com
plimentary to player or official. It is a bad practice and must be dis
couraged The freshmen are largely to blame for such remarks. Per
haps it is due to ignorance on their part of the existing code of sports
manship at Penn State Proper instruction might do much to correct
this childish speech and action.
