Member nf Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1926 WE DEPART TO RETURN AGAIN As this is read, State College will be emptying itself slowly of the students who have made Penn State for the past year; the students who have upheld its traditions, who have fought for Penn State on the athletic field and on the platform, the students who have made Penn State a force m the world of education. Vacations will be spent—how, shall we say—industriously? And then, as once more we return to the valley in the heart of Pennsylvania after having been sepaiated from the sight of Old Main for more than two months, we certainly must feel that Penn State next year is to continue on its fonvard way—that it is om College and it is what we make it. As we depart, “Regret, as for a vanished fragrance, haunts us, And life, falls, like a full blown rose, apart.” And as we return, confident that a new Piesidcnt will lead Penn State upward and onwaul, (and possibly see the assmmitv of daily chapel) it will be our task to make the words “Penn Slate” signify all that is worthy of praise. VALETE AC PLAUDITE Another college generation is thrust into the whiilpool of ac tivity, its philosophy almost complete as it goes from one world to another, its high ideals waiting to be tried. Diplomas and hon orary keys, distinctions though they be, are merely time-cards, punched finally as the day ends. They are but tags, classifica tions. | Four years ago this generation set-out on a journey. Many of.its meh and‘wbmeh 'droppedfay the wayside until, when the goal is reached,' only the worthy remain!:' To-ttfese five'hundred and fifty—to the men and women who are to carry Penn State’s name with them m then- upward struggle—“ Farewell, and give ap plause,” NUMBERS, PLEASE? Of all the misbegotten, foolish systems of competition carried on at Penn State, the most glaring is that of interclass sports Along toward this time of the year, after the Varsity season in most spring sports has run itself almost out, the various classes stage their annual set-ups and comedies in tennis, golf, baseball, checkers and what-not. Unless a man has his numerals on a blue crew-neck sweater, he is marked as friendless. If he has his numerals, usually he’s afraid to wear them. Why not make them mean something be sides an opportunity to wise-crack? Why not have class sports instead of class farces? Under the present system, and noticeable to the greatest ex tent m the upper classes, the manager of the class team is chosen by the president of the class. The manager takes one or two of, his fraternity brothers lmtow and has them make out a list of two or three friends who have not yet been able to take advantage of “the old army game.” Then, with a team picked in this way, the class of so-and-so plays the class of such-and-such, whose team is picked in a like manner. The luckiest crowd wins. Everyone gets his “numbers.” Football is perhaps the only sport in which the award is not desecrated by interclass contests. Because of the large number of men from the three upper classes who practice throughout the season, it is possible to chose experienced men to compose class teams. Cannot this same system be applied 1 to all other sports? Unless it can, numerals will soon be relegated to the ash can and will never cease to be the subject of many guffaws m the Froth office.
