State College, Pa. Nov. 2, 'O6
Editor of the State Collegian,
Dear Sir : I can see no good
reason for changing the name of this
boro. I admit that the narr eof the
born, State College, is much con
fused with the name Penn'a State
College I admit that the proposed
name is distinctive, but certainly a
distinctive name is of no greater ad
vantage to the Institution than the
present unique name. To be sure,
if this Institution is to be called the
Penn'a State University, then the
boro name State College would be
inappropriate, and this Institu
tion would be confused with U. of P.
Now the most sensible way is to
avoid further confusion. We have
the best technical school in the State,
but it is far from being a Universiiy.
Let us call this Institution The Penn
sylvania State College, State Col
lege, Centre Co., Pa., and avoid the
great confusion in a change of rail
road maps, legal documents, post
office address, etc. which the pro
posed change would cause.
In the basement of the Main Bldg.
there are two fine old bronze can
non. If they were placed on turrets
in front of the Armory, they would
lend considerable to the appearance
of the surroundings. If some
genius would design the turrets, cer
tainly enterprising students would
build the patterns and cast the pieces.
The campus gang would do the

fer some good suggestions.

CAMPUS TALK
To avoid suspicion never stop to
tie your shoe string in a melon
patch.
Beckert :—lf you saw a lemon
drowning, what would you do ?
Friday :—I don't know. Guess
I would squeeze it.
Beckert :—Oh no. You would
get a rope and give the lemon aid.
Heaped in the hollow of the grave
The autumn leaves lie dead;
The lawn mower also gently rests
Within the kindling shed.
Senior:—Can you tell me why
the pessimist and the football player
are alke ?
Junior :—No. Why are they ?
Senior :—Because they are al
ways kicking about something.
Toothpicks and Tumblers, Wow I
After a terrific conflict on Beaver
Field last Saturday afternoon the
wondrous Toothpicks, under Major-
General Caughey, fought a nerve
racking and bloody draw with the
world-famous Tumblers,led by High
Gazaboo Staud. Both "Turtles"
and "Shadows" fought valiantly but
vainly, to gain a decisive victory,
and although many heroic warriors
on both tribes were sorely wounded
and winded, yet nobody suffered so
severely as the officials, who were
all three downed and mauled repeat
edly during the performance of their
just and righteous duty. Although
each tribe succeeded once in cross
ing the goal-line yet these plays
were both so slippery and shady in
character, that the officials refused
to allow them.
