Nittany Dorm
Window Screen
Catches Frosh
The opening in Nittany dormi
tory window screens isn't as big
as some people think, according
to William Stambaugh, first se
mester geography and geophysics
major.
Stambaugh, locked in his room
when someone inserted a piece of
metal from a soft-drink bottle top
in his keyhole, attempted to get
out by climbing through a hole
in the screen. He got halfway
through when he couldn't go any
further, nor could he back out.
Infirmary officials said the only
way to release him would be to
cut the screen—and bill Stam
baugh for damages.

Miltonburg, Univer-Cit
State College Seeks
Uncollegiate Name
Everybody—well, almost everybody—in State College agrees that
the fown's name should be changed. Nobody. but nobody, agrees
what the change should be.
Names so far suggested: Lemont, Mont Nittany," Stte Centre,
Centre Hills, Lionell, Nittany, University City, Univer-City, Mt. Nit
tany, Eisen hoiver, Miltonburg,
Centre, Keystone, Lincoln Cen
ter, State Colleges, University,
and State 53 College.
And then there are those resi
dents who like the name of State .
College. But most of these peo
ple say something like this: "I like
State College, but if the name
has to be changed, I suggest . . ."
'No Rush'
For example, David R. Mackey,
Burgess-elect and assistant pro
fessor of speech, recently said,
"It's not necessary to rush into a
change; we don't have to change
this year. We have other univer
sities in college towns (such as
College Park, Md. and College
Station, Tex.) But if we were to
make a change, I would favor .
something like Centre, Pa."
Harold K. Schilling, dean of the
Graduate school, has suggested
State Centre. "This," he said,
"would relate the name of the
town to our zounty, its geogra
phic location at the center of the
state, and its being a center of
state interest and activity, and
would enable it to retain part of
its old name."
Centre Hills
• Charlotte Dossin, professor ,of
poultry husbandry extension, has
suggested in a letter' to the Cen
tre Daily Times that the borough's
name be changed to Centre Hills.
And Mrs. Clarence DeArmit,
State College, wrote a letter sug
gesting Lionell as a "tribute to
our Penn State teams." She also

offered Nittany as a candidate.
Wrote Meredith M. Coldren of
Centre Hall: "I think a striking
change of name would be, sim
ply, to put a 53 between the State
and College of our town name,
so that everytime the town was
mentioned, i.e. State 53 College,
the date the College became a
Unifersity would be honored."
Coldren also sugested Miltonburg.
State Colleges
Leonard A. Doggert, professor
emeritus of electrical engineering,
offered, as his solution, adding
the letter "s" to the end of the
present name. "By the addition of
a single letter we would adver
tise to the world that we have
many colleges here," he wrote.
"Let's make the transition as
painless as possible,"! Dogger't
concluded.
No official action has been ini
tiated to legally change the bor
ough's name.
