lavishes in an unprecedented nation
wide survey of student opinion on

in the United Student Peace Commit

gian.- The poll is being directed from
the oflices of the IBrown University
Daily Herald, Providence, It. I.
. Endorsed by educators, legislators,
college leaders, and a’multitude of in
dependent organizations, the poll is
expected to reach more than 1,200,000
students. ’
Most notable of the organizations
endorsing the survey, is _the American

Collegian lo Petition
Acting on the results of the poll,
the Collegian will petition the Board
of Trustees, Representative Calva
cante, and Governor Earle to rename
the College, “The Pennsylvania State
University." x
Along with the jk>ll of the students,
the Collegian has secured the opin
ions of the deans. Of these, eight of
them favored changing the name to
"the Pennsylvania State University."
Following are some of the comments:
- CharloLte E. Ray, dean of women:
“The new name suggested for our
College recognizes the fact that wo
arc now a university in every respect
except the name. If wc could make
the new title ‘The Pennsylvania Stale
University,’ this would • give the
meaning without a cumbersome name
and would also permit us Lo retain
the much-loved Penn Stale.’’
Marion R. Trabuc, dean, School*of
Education:'“We arc a university and

' Frank C. Whitmore, dean, School
of Chemistry and -Physics: "Penn
Slate is a university and a fine one
at that. ‘The University of the Cuni
niuinveuTth of Pennsylvania’ ade
quately Tills the need. Unofficially,
of course, we’d still call it Penn
Stale.”
Edward Slcidle, School of Mineral
Industries: ‘‘‘The Pennsylvania Stale
University’ is the’most, appropriate.
The changing of the name of this in-’
slitulion is inevitable. The length of
the'name, however, would mean noth I
ing. We’d still be Penn State. While!
we’re at it, I think that the name of,
the town should he changed to avoid!
confusion between the town and the!
institution. I propose that Stale Col- J
lege bo changed to 'Mount Nittatiy.’ ” l
A. It. Wurnoek, dean of Men: “The
College should have a name which in
cludes ' the word ‘university/ 'Hie
name suggested by Governor Earle is t
very long and somebody should be
able to suggest an adequate shorter
name/'
•Charles W. Stoddart, dean, Liberal
Arts: "This institution is a univer

Production Of
‘Dybbuk’ Has
Broadway A id
Broadway comes to Penn Slate-for
“The Dybbuk.”
When the Pen/) State Players give
their 18th anniversary production
this Friday and Saturday evenings,
their costumes and make-up "'ill be
a la Broadway.
Director. Frank S. Ncusbuum has
secured the services of the make-up
man for the only other English'pro
duction of S. Aiisky’s great emotional
drama. Costumes have been ordered
from the concern which supplied the
Neighborhood Playhouse when they
gaArc the first, and only, stage perfor
mances of .“The Dybbuk” in New
York early in 15)27. ■
; Sincc then “The Dybbuk” has been
filmed and is now playing in Phila
delphia and New York, where it has
met with much interest because of
its unusual plot and grcul emotional
appeal. '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.

Exhibit American Art
An exhibition of the works of three
young American painters is now on
display in the exhibition room on the
third floor. Main Engineering build
ing. The exhibit, containing paintings
by John C. Pellew, Robert \V. Blinn,
and Luis Bosa, is a loan exhibition
from the Contemporary Arts Gallery
in New York City and will remain
here until March 24.
Blum is the only American-born of
the three painters. He is 29 and was
born in Florida. Pellew was born in
Penzance, Cornwall, and Bosa, in
Venice.. Both have lived in the United
States for over 14 years and are now
considered American painters.
Pellew’s work has exhibited in the
Corcoran Galley, the Pennsylvania
Academy, and the Chicago Art In
stitute. Blinn, who lends to large vis
ion rather than to delicate finish in
his paintings, has exhibited regularly
in New York, Washiugon, Philadel
phia, and Chicago. Bosa’s paintings
proclaim that “wherever there is
light there is color for eyes that will
see it."
