Collegian Extends
Alumni Welcome
A record return of alumni is anticipated to
day—a capacity crowd of 30,000 is expected to
fill Beaver Field this afternoon for the Penn
State-Nebraska game. It looks • like a pretty
wonderful day is in store for everyone.
For many of the old grads this will be
their first return to the College in many years.
If they've been out of touch with the College
they're going to be quite' surprised at the
many changes the campus has undergone in
the past few years.
The new West Dorms and Simmons and Mc-
Elwain halls are probably among the best col
lege housing units in the country. The new.
Mechanical Engineering Building, the new ad
dition to the Library, and the Chemical Engi
neering Building will be big assets to the Col
lege. We still haven’t gotten our Student Union
Building, but there are indications that the
present senior class will at least be able to
see the excavations before graduation.
But the changes haven’t been all physical.
The school has grown academically, too. The
students, after a few displays of childish en
thusiasm earlier this year, have settled down
and are now acting more maturely than did
the student body at this time last year.
We think we are justified in stating that the
Penn State student of today is proud ,of the
record of his College—a record which was built
up by some the people who are returning to
the Nittany Valley today. We think the grads
who have returned will find their school still
something of which to be proud.
Most of the alums have come back to State
College today to see the football game. It
promises to be a good game in spiie''of the
fact that Nebraska star Bobby Reynolds will
be sidelined. But once here, memories of
their undergraduate days will return. We feel
confident the alums will return to their homes
with the feeling that all is well at Slate.
So to the many words of welcome they've
already received, we'd like to add our "Wel
come Home" on behalf of the students.

Seizure of Movie
Gave Boost to IFC
Monday night a planned raid on Delta Tau
Delta fraternity' ended in the apprehension of
a man who was showing obscene movies there.
While DTD acted in the best interests of the
whole Penn State fraternity system, we under
stand that members are now being accused by
some of being “goodie-goodie” boys.
What these accusers fail to realize is that the
showing of indecent films is a serious federal
offense. Had any fraternity been guilty of par
ticipating in that .offense willingly, a bad name
would descend on that house and the whole
fraternity system. When contacts’ reports con
cerning the showing of the film's were turned
over to Interfraternity Council, that group took
action to apprehend the movie salesman before
any fraternity got itself into trouble.
Although a number of fraternities were will
ing to aid the IFC and the local police in the
plot, DTD got -the mod. The plan went off
perfectly. \
The whole fraternity system should be
grateful for this cooperation. DTD was taking
the risk of getting a bad name lacked on it
by those who didn't fully understand the sit
uation, and both the IFC and the local police
were enthusiastic over the fine aid the house
provided.
Some of the charges of “goodie-goodism” are
probably in jest, but some persons are rather
vicious in their charges. We suggest they con
sider the position in which they would be now
had their group been raided during a showing
of the pictures not pre-arrange'd with the police.
In these days when the fraternity system
is constantly on the defensive, at Penn State
at least, a boost comes in mighty handy. Such
a boost was given Monday night and it should
be appreciated.
Safety Valve
Lasting Sportsmanship
TO THE EDITOR: Recently your newspaper
carried on an active campaign against the mis
directed use of energy by freshman students
during their goal post escapade. .
I would like to make a suggestion for con
sideration by the student body at Saturday’s
Homecoming game. ~
Let’s remain loyal to Penn State but at the
same time be alert enough to recognize a good
play on the part of an opponent.
The score of the game will be difficult’ to
recall a year from now, but the impression we
leave with our opponents from Nebraska will
linger for a long time—let’s make it a pleasant
memory!

Homecoming Memories
By JIM GROMILLER
It’s Homecoming time again and for the 32d time Penn State’s
alumni are treking back to Nittany Valley for the once-a-year look
at their Alma Mater.
This is the day for reliving memories of undergraduate years
mejnories that are sharp and clear.
And there will be recalled other Homecoming weekends—like
that in 1926 when Coach Hugo Bezdek sent an untried eleven
against a veteran Navy team before the largest crowd to sit in
Beaver Field up to that time. Chances of winning, Bezdek had
predicted, were “very slim,” but with 20,000 looking on Harry
Wilson raced 95, 72, and 50 yards to score all three of State’s touch
downs in a 21-3 upset.
And the then weekly Collegian said editorially that day, “When
thf high-powered motor cars with the old boys sitting back on
luxurious cushions drive up College avenue, when the noisy flivver
with the family joyfully crowded in it pulls into Allen street, and
when the bus with a two hundred per cent overload jerks to a stop
on Co-op corner when all of these things happen, the country
knows that members of that, great and united Penn State family are
hurrying back "to the Nittany hills for the annual reunion.
