Of these, eight of them favored changing the name to "the Pennsylvania State University." Following are some of the comments: - CharloLte E.

'Based on an ancient Jewish folk legend of the Chassidic sect of Israel, the plot .itself is impossible to describe in mere words. A Dybbuk is a form of evil spirit and it is upon this rather weird being that the plot of “The Dybbuk” is based. This evil spirit enters the body of its victim, and in so doing governs the actions of that person until the Dybbuk .is driven from the victim’s body by an ancient ritual. Woven in the plot are muny emo tional climaxes that arc augmented by chanting and interpretive dune • ng. The chants and folk songs have been arranged by Rabbi Theodore If. Gordon and Prof. .Hummel Fishburu. The dances have been arranged ami are being dircclcd by Jessie Cameron. Thespians Select ‘Hey Rube’ Cast Hertz, Yanofski, Hunt To Play - Leading .Holes. In.Sliow I.
