Novembei 23, 1939 COLLEGE SPIRIT SPiLLS J?'T SINCE 1914 has such excitement been stimulated among the student body as that which will flow freely at the well planned ,ire-Pitt game bonfiie lally tonight. li is to he the climax of spontaneous ‘"col -lege spirit” for the once-defeated foolbaii team that has bean developing despite pres sure hanging ovei its coach. t hat such has been the result is remark able—and extremely satisfactory. WHII-E EFFORTS to make the rally ‘‘safe a"J. sane,’/’ have been unlimited, it must be remembered that the task of con trolling such a’huge gathering of Nillanj ], c' t rooters will not be easy. With this in view, the Collegian again i i\ :.alr: strict adherence to College reg illations. Any student found guiltv of instigating r t' J sturbance dclr.mcntal to the name ol 111 s Col’eee should be immediately dropped from College. ..NT ONE ANTICIPATES property dam age or personal injury. The rally has not been lannel mill anv such thought con fiontng the rcmm.ttec ' • the contrary, lonnriit’s organized pep I tnfire is a definite liscst to co'legiale spir it.-It will be an opportunity 10 let stored up ( it- must lie stored-up or sudi affairs would have occurred pieviouslv) spirit spill ovel with freedom. But, damage will not lie tolerated. It is never the many bul the few who create detrimental disturbances. And these few often inflict a penalty on all student-, which they do not deserve. Every student enrolled in the College— wliether an actual participant, an innocent bystander, or asleep in lied—pays for such o'ainage. Damage caused fcv a few. Let’s remember, we are Penn State stu dents and we should conduct ourselves as Penn State students.
