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 .115 By MIKE FEIIdSILBER 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. that "dillorenr cologne Oeue lern4 cologne concentrate (double strengthi blvtokkodavvezikl ferr ..‘ -• / %)3 ' `-- •........
