Then the endless ruckus receives another shove, and it’s started all over again. When al umni start it, it is no less than the lemaking of canned “soup” (TNT m tenderloin parlance); and the detonation that sets off that alumni TNT is something which has, in the past, been overlooked but which now must come to light. It is jealousy among the students. Not the student body—not too often—but the biased, addle-pated, lazy nin compoops who play football— (since we’re arguing about football) —with no other end in view than working “just enough to look as if they want to play—and to be able to get away with it because they’ve got the support of the student body who think these men are playing square with the alum ni, the students, the coach and the college.” 500—DOLLARS—500 The title reminds one of a burlesque show, doesn’t it? Something like "40—Girls—40”? Well, that’s just what “500—Dollars—500” means, except that the “dollars” are the result, not the cause. There is to be a “Spirit Parade” sometime be tween now and ithe game tomorrow afternoon. The Alumni will probably enjoy a big wagon pile at Co-op corner, and they would like to take pho tographs of the campus cannon while off its bases. They would appreciate these things as evidences of youthful effervescence, as open manifestations of college spirit, as e\ idences ot a “deep and abid ing loyalty to all things for which the College stands.” You think so? If you do, you’re very damp. The last parade that the merchants of this town “enjoyed” cost the College exactly three hundred dollars (5300.00), as a sort of premium for student self-entertainment The parade was no more (than that; and'such parades can be worse, and the coming orgy will no doubt be much worse unless the men at its head can cajole the mental infants who gather furniture to carry to the corner, into conducting themselves extra-de cently. The Alumni might laugh; so will we But someone has to laugh openly and curse the stu dents inwardly. All of which means that who ever has the fun pays for it, but not at Penn State. Here the students tear the town to scraps, cheer for evei*ything except the Thespians, and let the College bear the expense. That’s “spirit”.

Lord, Jr , ’2B The Bullosopher’s Chair Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Well, Smithers, tonight the orgy begins’ And the all-College diunk will carry over the whole week-end. Win or lose tomoirow, quite a few of the alumni in town will perform their jack ass antics for the benefit of the undergraduates. And the few who won’t indulge confirm the repul sive biawl by pietending to enjoy it, or keeping silent on a subject they should howl about. “The Pestiferous Alumni”! (see Harper’s Magazine for July). Enthusiastic supporters of the college I Just listen to their enthusiasm when our football team is defeated! I tell you, Mr. Smithers, our alumni are a nuisance! They don't know anything which is fundamental, about the college, and they don’t seem to care. But about athletics, they know everything; and if they don’t know, they pretend they do. The problems of .administration, the political situation, educational improvement—things which should engage their whole-heaited enthusiasm, they endure . . . . But let some gossip about Bez gat started, and they cat it alive’ R. B. Kilborn W. J. McLaughlin '2B —.Benjamin Kaplan How ridiculous our celebration of Alumm Day is 1 A day set aside to lenew precious memories, to revive pleasant associations, to hallow glorious tiaditions—and how do they celebrate this occas ion ? By acting like a bunch of hoodlums without any respect for any principle for which this col lege stands. And what is v orse—the w ould-bc powers be hind the Alumni Association grin and silently sanction the whole fracas. When they plan items for the program, they allow for the liquor bibbers and make things as easy foi them as they can. The other day Mr Secretary opened his mouth and brayed: “For the glory of old Penn State, for the sanctity of the occasion, keep it stag! Keep it stag’” Why keep it stag? It’s quite evident. Even the lowest of the group hesitates to make an ass of himself when women are present. What a glorious representation of Penn State! Maybe if a few more of the wives were present it would help lemove the disgust from Alumni Day. Why, our honorable Mr. Secretary has been known to approve, secretly, any move to discouiage alumni co-eds from ldurning! Yes, for the glory of Penn State, keep it stag! What to do about it? One of two things! Either clean up Alumni Day and make it an oc casion fitting and decent, or abolish it altogether. At present, it accomplishes but one thing—an op portunity for the mdst disgusting orgy of the year, a situation whose degrading influence on the morale of the undergraduates and the college at large, to say nothing of the outside opinion of Penn State, is inestimable. Undergraduates, why do you sanction it? College Administration, why aie you silent? One reason only!—the al umni have money and power. Therefore, we must muzzle our convictions, forget the glory of Penn State, and endure a situation which becomes more intolerable each year!, ~,% s, , jP - x Va. N.’;r v - - ' ' V ) .
