`Shuffle Off To Buffalo'
May Be Theme of Blue Band
"On to Buffalo!"
This cry for the appearance of the Blue Band
at the Colgate-Penn State football game on Octo-.
per 4 at Buffalo first came from a strong little
band of New York state alumni, but noW it has
begun to re-echo from Buffalo business men and
9?enn State alumni alike.
Spurred by -the acceptance of the Colgate band
to appear at the game, the Buffalo Junior Cham
ber of Commerce worked silently, but like beav
ers, for two weeks and raised $750 toward an
estimated expense of $l5OO for 'bringing the Blue
Band to Buffalo.
• G. Mowson Berg, president of the group, wrote
to College athletic officials and urged 'them to
send the Blue Band, because Buffalo residents
have become Penn State minded to the extent
.that 5,000 advance tickets have already been
sold and an estimated 25;000 more seats in the
huge civic stadium are expected to be filled.
Even newspapers within a 100-Mile radius of
.Buffalo are reprinting maps of roads leading to
.Buffalo
,Civic Stadium.
Now, within a week, pressure has been brought
~U pon the College to send its "Boys in Blue" •to
: represent' Penn State in the Colgate fracas. Des
ifite lack of time necessary to consider such
.a proposition, it seems 'that there are no 'barriers
on the "road to Buffalo" for the Blue Band.
'Because 'Buffalo 'football fans and Penn State
alumni haVe become so interested in the pending
gaffie and 'Offers to 'introduce Penn State to a
comparatively strapge territory, the Blue Band
could act as more than a "good-will ambasSadtir."
The presence of 'the Colgate band and the absence
of the Blue Band would not stimulate much in
threat .in Penn State activities.
'Besides'this, Buffalo civicreaders have planned
a huge•smokerin the Buffalo Memorial Auditor
ium for Penn State tilUmni and interested football
'fans. Mayor Thomas L. Hoping and prominent
New York men will speak. With the appearance
of the ?Boys in Blue" at bOth the smoker and
game, Buffalo would be treated to an acquaint
anceship -with Penn State as Penn State, not as a
college which exists somewhere, between Phila
delphia and Pittsburgh.
The 'financial arrangements are comparatively
easy since the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce has
donated .s7so—exactly half of the estimated ex
penses. .The :other $750 could be obtained. with
little trouble from two avenues of student finance;
and furthermore, it could be obtained speedily.
Some money is set aside every year in • the
;Athletic AssOciation budget to take care of
.sud
.den .snialLe.lcpenses which occur during the year.
By action of ti 4 Athletic ,Advisory &Lard, which
meets -here this: Satureitiy, $375 could. be obtained
from fund.with tittle •at&i .7 .94ion the Athletic
AssOciation , budget.
The other' $375 can be procured as easily. Every
year approximately $3OO or. more is included iii
the Interclass. Finance, budget to coyer the. repair
and dry cleaning of soiled Blue Band uniforms.
However, since the uniforms will be _worn for
the first time: this year, it is estimated that very
little repair and ,dry cleaning of uniforms will be
necessary. Immediate recommendation by the
Interclass Finance Board for a transfer of this
fund will pave the final patch a the "road to
Buffalo."
,Action by both the Athletic Advisory Board
and the Interclass .Finance Board can
. 'betaken
by Saturday noon in 'time to assure ; the interested
Penn Staters in Buffalo 'that their effort to publi
cize Penn State has not been 'disregarded.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate lilt co,
operative spirit displayed on the Perin State cam
pus. It should not be passed up,. With the joint
cooperation of the two College ,roues, the Blue
.Banci can ":Thutlle into Buffalo" L.:: a true retire

Untarnished Frosh •
Freshmen, I- observe, are amazingly similar,
year after year. Each fall finds them eagerly
crowding the hallways of these venerable recep
tacles of wisdom,. confident and aspiring. I, and
many other upperclassmen, preceded them with
exactly the same sure resolve and clear ambition.
But with what greater cause!
Four years ago, upon entering this institution,
most of today's upperClassmen were certain, as
today's newcomers are, of their futures. In Sep
tember of the Year of-- Our Lord, 1941, these
same men and women, so knowing in 1938,
know only that they do not know what the future
holds in store for them. The men can: only
prepare for the draft, though it is easily seen
that most of them do not realize its broad signi
ficance. The women have only knittin" for Bri-,
tam to keep- them occupied!
PerhaPs I misstate the case. Since this col
umn's motif is woven about only - One man's view
point, perhaps I have mistaken the clues which
have built that viewpoint. Could it be that the
frosh has a clearer idea of the world he will
emerge into in 1945 than the wisdom-saturated
senior? Is it possible that the upperclassmen
are living in a fool's paradise, knowing only that
trends are developing, but not in what difection
they progress?'
•
More , Complications
Can it be said that the confidence of the fresh
men is built on a more lucid realization of the
problems confronting :him? That 'his elder
brother's uncertainty is founded 'upon his refusal
to face the faCt Of a rapidly changing social,
economic, and political structure?
According to the books, these "are queer times.
No single -prophet of the past has been able to
foresee the evolution of our age. - No creed has
been able to erect a line of reasoning that corn
'pletely explains this :new dynainisth. :Many have
attempted to interpret the present. None has
succeeded •conipletely.•
What Seats 'Mete?
Was I wrong 'in writing, that upperclassmen
are confused. 'because they :realize the changes.
taking PlaCe outside these 'secluded hills? Or
is it the result of not tecogniiing :these changes.
Here is an interesting 'problem. Who, the
freshthan or 'the 'perplexed senior, is More
in Step with 'the times? The real question, of
course, is "Just what :constitutes .being in step
with the times?" It is to. a discussion of this
broad •question that I !plan 'to devote this space.
Since dismission demands Varied viewpoints, I
welcbme readers' opinions.
For 'Liberal Artists, the question before the --
house, simply stated, is "What the hell goes on
here?"—LOkl
