111 ITO BE OR NOT TO BE
MORE THAN seven months ago, (Wittig the
ceremonies mailing the formal opening of the
me
five-million-dam building pi ogram here, Gover
nor George H Earle proposed that the name of
the Pennsylvania State College be changed to
"The University of the Commonuealth of Penn- '
sylvania"—fii st, because he thought the institu
tion was in fact a university, second, because
Pennsylvania technicllly is a "commonwealth" and
not a "state "
Following the Covet nor's <-111, , ,equent request.,
the Collegian u tondueted a campus-wide survey of
student optnton sod found that of the 1,695 stu
dents contacted, only 79—less than too per cent.
—showed dtsapproval of the change
Of those who did prefer the change to uni
- - .
versity ranking, however, 3,492 proposed a
name of their own choosing, a name which
they thought would answer the need for a
change in status yet retain the traditionally
sacred woods "Penn State" They suggested
"Pennsylvania State University"
a a a
Soon afterward College Pi emdent Ralph D 'Het
del per%onally presented the results of the poll to
the Goseinoi, who prompty acknowledged the re
port and ordered Charles .1 Margiotti, then at
toi ney-general, to 'tudy the mnttei and prevent
a iormal opinion
Accordingly, about a fortnight or so later,
Mr. Mai gletti ruler. In a formal opinion that
because the College is subject to the prove
dons of the Non Profit Corporation Act mso
far as the amending of its charter—and hence
its name—is concerned, it would have to lot
low a lengthy procedure requiring seven ills
tinct steps and consummating at least four or
five months
I—A iesolution authortring the proposed amend
ment to he adopted by a maim ity of the Board Cl
Tru,tees at regale: 01 special meeting "convene.]
-ifter at least ten days' written notice to all menl
het s of this purpose "
2—The proposed name must be registered with
the Department of State '
3—The article of amendment, together with a
certificate from the Department of State showing
the registiotion of the proposed name, must be
tiled in the office of the Centre County Piothono
tars,
4-4fki advertisement, application must he
made to the Centre County Court of Common
Pleas for approval
s—lf du. court is satisfied as to the propiiety
of the amendment, it directs the PI othonotaly ; to
taan-mit the ainendment to the Superintendent of
Public Inst,uction
6—Within CO days after receipt of\the
he Supenntendent must convene the State COUll
rd of Education to consider the amendment
7—lf the Council approves the amendment, "the
Court may consent" to it and the new name must
he recorded in the office of the Rem del of Centre
County, whereupon it must be retained to th ,
Tiothonotary and filed in his office
Meanwhile, the Court may older llPllllllgi "fo
the porno•° of determining objection to the pro
posed ihnnge of Hanle." •
NATURALLY, uith so much led tape to go
through it o i only logical that the College should
bide its time and wait for the State LegiQlature
to convene in an OM t to have the name changed
by open, yet les. drawn-out legislative action At
least, such seemed to be the policy
Yet the Legislature has been in session dur
ing the past few months and not a word has
been heard about changing the name of the
College
If is under these conditions that the Executive
Committee of the Bonn! of Trustees meets Isere
tonight
NOW THE Collegian does not know exactly
how far the Board has gone in seeking to change
the name The Collegian believes, however, that
the Board is just as anxious to change the name
are the student:, the faculty, the alumni and
the Governor
It is (or this reason, therefore, that the Col
legian sincere)) , hopes the Executive Commit
tee will find some time to discuss.and to act
on the name change
If the Board of Trustees,has not yet approved
the name change, then the Collegian hopes that
the Executive Committee well see fit to nott4
members at once and call a special meeting foe
that purpose
If the Board of Trustees already has approved
the name change, then the Collegian hopes that
the Executive Committee will see fit to legister the
proposal with the Department of State immedi
ately en an effort to speed up the process and
have the name changed before June Commence
ment.
Above all else, let's keep in mind that the Leg
islature is leatly to adjourn at any moment and
nill not re-assemble until January, with propects
of changing the name by legislative action no
brighter than ever.
And at the some time let's keep in mind that
the Centre County Court of Common Pleas con
-venes Monday morning, December 12, with pros
--poets of changing the name by next April or May
: , :jutit as bright as ever.
