The undergraduate politely sits and does his best to stifle yawns as he is bored almost to anger by stories of, "Now, when I was in College .. The alumni attack everything from the football team to the administration, taking special pains not to pass up any intermediate points. What cares he, for the fact that his Alma Mater pays negotiable cur rency to employ persons who are perfectly able to run the particular office for which they are employed' With his four years of college life, the returning graduate has profited by years of valuable experience in the outside world were he has lately reached the point where he is earning a respectable salary. 'I his money has brought what the alumnus thinks is in fluence and he then, unfortunately, believes his duty is to criticize anytning and everytning connected with the College Spirit. real honest-to-goodness Penn State spirit, sny the alumni, is lacking with the present-day Penn State student Mare tommyrot! file spirit is still here , it exists in different form Instead of wild exhibltions with a paddle, instead of pajama parades, instead of other manifestations that reek of "cow college" days is a deep, true, sincere abiding lovaltt to Penn State and all that for which it stands. Just becftuse thic 'noisy demonstrations about the town are less frequent is certainly no indication that Penn State spirit is a thing of the dim past The saying, "Still waters run deep," was never truer when applied to the real spirit that the present-day student holds for the College Student ille of today is far different than that of ten or fifteen years ago Penn State students of a decade or more ago were garbed, so we hive often been told, in corduroy trousers and khaki &urn. Mode of dress mattered but little in those days A member of a class in the 'teens was practically ostraJ, cized if he appeared with a neatly-pressed suit draped about his personage Now-a-days we invite our par ents up here to meet students arrayed in the most conventional attire It is difficult for the old-timer to grasp that change He sees, because of that re versal, a lounge-lizard type of student. At least, he thinks he secs that type The logical advice would be for that old grad to take special pains not to men tion that fact within hearing distance of an under graduate, especially one larger than himself Ten years ago, Penn State football teams were just being made to realize that fair-play was one of the first essentials of the gridiron game; that it was' worth far more to earn tha reputation as a clean playing team rather than a vicarious team. They were gradually being made to see the advantage in acting the role of gentlemen at all times Ever since, other colleges and universities have annually found' n t.re pleasure in comptting with Penn State because) of its recognized good sportsmanship as exhibited' by the eleven men bearing the colors of The Blue and 1 White during the game. It must be remembered that newspapers used to, refer tp our Alma Mater as State College As late ' as 1918, newspapers throughout the state, were wont to type articles concerning the State College football team. That is now a thing of the past, Penn State has since become well-known, both for its sterling athletic teams and its scholastic achievements. State College eased from the picture as Penn State became nationally and internationally known. The alumni come back to the scene of their col lege dive. 1 hcy actually tel nisi animisi the chang ed surroundings. The changes seem difficult to com prehend Why can't ft he like the old days' , They do not seem to realize th..t the College is progress ing, going iorward uith an unusual alacrity because of its comparative louth With each passing year a better class of students is being attrkted by all the College offers. The prep school applicant is now common, the ranking high-school scholar is a necessity. The general standards are changed with the passing years . President Vice-President Instead of returning to attempt to get , the Col lege back to the position it held when any particular alumnus was an undergraduate, that person Snould revel in the ads ancement that has taken place He should do all in his power to aid, in an intelligent manner, towards even greater advancement He should boost with all his new-found influence If he is unable to do that he should have sense enough to refrain from knocking Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Msnaging Editor Associate Editor Associate Edam H.

They will make themselves known every minute of their stay What. care they that they are unwelcome and undesirable' We eNtend a cordial greeting to the loyal, sympathetic ninety-five per cent who are strongly, and even rabidly. in favor of the same tiling as the entire student body,—Penn State FOR THOSE NS HO CANNOT THINK For the benefit of returning alumni and any members of the student who are unable to think for themsehcs, it might be cell to location that the Penn State football team is under the complete c large of "Bee," despite tee assertion by a treuble seeking Pittsburgh sports writer to the contrary. It is difficult to concciNe of the purpose of this supposedly reoutanie Journalist in permitting him self to pen such ridiculous rumors. If it was to spread agitation among members of the Penn State football team, this "gentleman" failed utterly, for instead it afforded the team a good laugh While it is only natural to experience at bit of resentment towards this newspaper man from Pitts burgh, it must be remembered faat this nonsense did not originate in his supposedly fertile brain It is said that a member or members of the alumni body in the town were entirely responsible for the forma tion and extensive broadcasting of fhe poppycock There is no place in this sicinity for those who ob viously do not have the best interests of The Penn sylvania State College at heart. ---L.

October 23, 1927 Etlito.t, Penn State CoWill., Last year I attended college with me son through the Penn State Col lequin, also three actual days of Fieshman Week, attending the song and chest meetings and by the end at the, three days I became so imbued with Penn State that I carried my Bible all through the term and kept J ust as well posted on college nett,- I too as,if actual), going to Penn IState Now for the star!. I have been in the Adnondacl, Mountains for several weeks and was due home last Satin but as I had been reading the Siracuse papers and also New Yoe}, and Philadelphia papers which gave Penn State lots of apace and publi city, I become ambued with a desire to see the game and to do en I hail to get off the train at rams° at four thirty in the morning and lend mound until daylight a.

Be sides I was sere near the frosh sec ' lion Oh, well. I) , d I root for Penn State' I'm still hoot se but so satis led. After the first half those Syr seasons looked at me 33ith a soot of smile of pity and seq-satmfaztion lot themselves When the boys came on the field for the last half they had a determined "we'll beat them" look and they stat ed in to do the job Well, the SD.- ruse Post-Standard says they played as though inspired and the Penn State cheerleaders and students caught the spirit. "So did your old man" and I can still hear the cry "Fight State Fight! FIGHT STATE FIGHT!" With the wonderful spirit our boys possess, and surely they always had that same spoil, the baits couldn't Lose. Tell Beelike, Lungren, Mahon- I ey and the others I got a real kick out cf the game and tell Bez I am the mascot of the Syracuse game and that it isn't many teams that hate a mas cot who is past the fifty year mark.
