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!

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!
