PAGE TWO coluhm appearing w Tka Daily Collegia* repreaeat tke uf Limit, One Maybe Four student leaders have stuck their necks way out, when they announced their plan for distribu tion of Penn tickets to students, in case the de mand exceeds the supply, as is expected. Realizing that repercussions would be felt from many quarters, no matter what scheme they evolved, the group argued and threshed out the problem at great length, considering every con ceivable angle. The committee, composed of the All-College, senior class and Men’s Athletic Association presi dents, and the editor of The Daily Collegian, were guided by one principle, and one only. That was: That as many PENN STATE STU DENTS be given an opportunity to see the game as space limitations would permit. The problem was tremendous. How could an entourage of possibly 9000 rabid students, many with dates, wives, parents, brothers or sisters, pos sibly be squeezed into 5200 seats. (A block of the 300-best tickets are withheld for the football squad. Each player will receive two comps, and will be permitted to buy as many as four others.) The finally-reached decision, that it more than 5200 tickets were applied for. they would be aUo cated one per student as long as they last, was made with full cognizance of or create among men with non-student wives fiancees. . . . T . One of the committee members is married, it was finally agreed, however, that a wife or fiancee should not displace a student. In making this decision, the leaders did all they possibly could to assure an equitable distribution of the tickets. If they had not assumed the respon •sibiltv the graduate manager of athletics would have had to. Perhaps his solution would have been even more irksome to students. -A secondary motive behind the rigid limitation of tickets, was to curtail scalping to the grea.est possible extent. The move, as strict as it may be, will not of itself eliminate that scurvy practice. Prospective scalpers ought to become the most despised characters on campus, students who, without a qualm, deliberately set out to » » killing” off the prowess of their fellow student plLyefs, and at the expense of other studente eager to see the game, are a disgrace to all that is finest and great about Penn State. _ Those who agree to buy "black market tickets are equally at fault, but their are generally good, and certainly understand able. Anyone who says he doesn t want to see the game is either kidding himself, or is nuts. All the thought, time and effort expended, will ingly, by this committee, in the attempt to spread tickets to the widest extent among STUDENTS, can be annulled or justified by the individual actions of those students. Students not planning to attend should resist all overtures of their friends, or strangers, to apply for a ticket for them. Perhaps by so doing, he would deprive another friend of a much-wanted place in the stands. ... Furthermore, students should refrain from or dering two tickets, if they need only one. Students planning to attend in a group can still do so, by requesting one ticket each, and having their re quests pinned together. Halt the scalper! See you at Penn!

OCTOBER 2, 1948 Honor Guard Another campus tradition of long standing will be displayed this afternoon as the Penn State football team takes the field against Bucknell. Forming a guard of honor, a greeting commit tee. if you like, will be members of the campus hat societies. Through a double line of hat-men the Linn squad will trot ontotthe field. It would be difficult for every student to be on the field to greet the team The hat-men represent the rest of the student body in this pleasant duty. The members .of the hat societies are students who are outstanding in the various activities. They were chosen for the hat societies because they are student leaders. But a leader has duties as well as privileges. And one of these is to represent those whom he leads. So let’s be there—hat-men!
