Pilttany Printing and Publishing Co.' Building Member of Bates laterealletilato;lfenepayor P6mooolotloa News Editor this issue ___ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923 IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK! (The viewpoint of -an Alumnus) When Greek meets Greek, when 'B9 meets '9O, and when '22 meets '23, good fellowship prevails and the world knows that another Penn . State Alumni Home-Coming is being staged. When , the high-powered motor cars with the old boys sitting back on luxurious cushions drive up College Avenue, when ,the ,nois flivver with the tamely joyfully crowded in it pulls tnto Allen Street, and when the bus with a two hundred per cent overload jerks, to a stop on Co-op corner,—when all of these thing's happen, the country knows that members of that great and united Penn State family aei. hurrying back to the Nittany hills for the annual reunion. It is an inspiring time, and it is a refreshing spirit that draws, from all corners of the state and nation to that college of humble' yet powerful traditions, men and women from so many walks of life The Penn State student sees enacted before his eyes this week a drama of life that dwarfs the greatest efforts of a master; ,he sees' &theme in psychology that can not be equalled by the writings of any It is little short of a miracle. It is time for the cares of a' busy world and• the'problems'iaf: ii perplexing study to be put away. Youth comes back to the old timei and he once more walks with a springy step over the paths,and through the buildings which he once knew. It is a time for ,him ,to become acquainted with the undergrads and to view the wonders of a grow ing college. It is a time for him to set himself right. -- He sees that' a change has come over the campus in the last few years and he real , . izes with pride that his Alma Mater is still supreme as 'far as he is concerned. Yes, the old timer is glad to get back again. He graduated quite a while ago, after four long years which seemed to be slow in passitig at the time, but which were but short spans of the sweetesCy:ears he has lived. When he gripped the "dip" - and started off the platform, he was glad that he could at last get a place in that great struggle of life He would show the world that he was good; he would make those bosses admit that he was worth something; yes, he had a pretty good time in college, Out he was glad to get out Perhaps he would get back some time after he had made his pile and see-the boys, see a game, or attend a house-party, but business is first and 'he would have to attend to that before anything else. Well, boys, he admits that he was wrong somewhat at the time He never did forget Old Penn State. He had hardly left before he began to miss the familiar faces whom he greeted every morning on the way to class. Then, as the September leaf of the calendar adorned the wall, he began to think of the others who'would be back and of the warm handshake for which he yearned. Then the papers began to fill their columns with football news,=Coach Bezdek was back on the job with a bag of tricks and an array of real football players Then came the reports of foes being trampled under fobt by the Nittany Lion, and he began to count the minutes before-he would be bound for the land of Nittany. And now he is here. Gee, isn't it great! _ No sooner does he step on Penn State soil than he becomes,pos. sessed of new life He meets the boys whom he has, not seen for many a year; he talks of the times when they.had real class.scraps and murderous games; he shakes the hand of an instructor whom once he thought of blackjacking; he walks up the street as though he owns the town. He does; there is no disputing his ownership.: And all too soon the week-end comes to a close The Navy goat has been met and battered, the cider and pretzels are gone, and the cigars are smoked. He says good-bye to Penn State for another year. Not once has he regretted the trip and the trouble of the journey. I He does not feel tired, even though he has missed many an hour of sleep as he sat around the fireplace in a regular "session". He has fooled Father Time and turned back ten years of his life; he feels much more fit to start again at the office where he left off. AnCon the trip home, as he sits and muses over the many things that happened, of the many friends whom he met, and : of the welcome he received, he leans over and says to Bill, "Gee, but it was great." i SCALP THE SCALPER The attention of the undergraduates is called to a -situation on the Nittany campus, presenting 'itself for the first - time in the his tory of the institution, which ,demands immediate and decisive action. It is the illicit practice of buying an excess n umber-of-football tickets at the regular authorized sale and disposing of-them at the last moment for fabulous sumsl to 'persons who 'failed to . 'make' their purchase at the specified time. Scalping tickets is the name applied to the practice in the vernacular; and a base and underhand,practice it is. More, it is a penitentiary offense, punishable by severe fines or confinement. Despised is the man who elects to make money , at the expense of his friends, fellow-classmates and predecessors-from the halls of Old Main Cursed is the money gained by such underhand and unlicensed methods. The practice is none other than a form ,of,stealing: The man who indulges therein is none other than a common thief. Scalpers and would-be scalpers are at work on Penn State's campus. There IS nothing to be gained by an appeal-to their sense of honor. For men who steal, knowing better, have a benumbed sense of honor, sometimes totally extinct. It is a question, then, of "scalping the scalper", of ':beating the devil at his own game". This can be done by an absolute refusal on the part of would-be purchasers of football tickets to pay more than the regularly authorized price of the ticket. An individual who pays excessive prices for tickets is an accomplice to the scalper. He is an unfortunate medium for the accomplishment of the money•extortion ist's ends. A blunt refusal to pay in excess of authorized prices for tickets will bring the snail out of his shell; it will smoke the skunk out of his hole. He will sell at standard prices to redeem his money. It is the best way of combating an evil which strikes at the very heart of Penn State's honor. Editor-In-Chloe Managing Editor .Managing Editor H. S. Harris, TS W L. Pratt, '25 -- Mae E. B. Lawry.
