sure in the early decades of the
18th century.
Malachi set up camp near a
small. Indian tribe. Love entered
the picture when the chief al
lowed the trader free access to
the Indians' camp. Boyer saw the
chief's daughter, Nita-Nee, and
fell in love with the beautiful girl.
According to tribal custom, an
Indian maiden and a white man
could not marry. So the two lov
ers did what Hollywood always
has two lovers do. They ran away
on a dark, moonless night.
Lovers Are Pursued
When the chief discovered that
his daughter was gone he sent her
seven stalwart brothers after her.
Love did not triumph in this case.
The brothers caught up with the
hapless pair and surrounded Mal
achi and his love.
One of the brothers was killed
in the battle that ensued, but
Malachi was soon overpowered.
The brothers, who now numbered
six, forced the trader into the deep
recesses of Pen's Cave, which is a
dozen miles from State College.
Refusing to give the Indians the
satisfaction of seeing him die,
Malachi crawled back into the
cave, calling plaintively to his
maiden, "Nita-Neeeeee, Nita-Nee
eeee." To this day, it is said, that
his voice can be heard calling to
his lost love.
With such a sad ending Holly
wood would probably turn down
the script. But this, we repeat, is
the second part of the story as
to how Mt. Nittany got its name.
Believe it if you will. The ques
tion is will it be the new name
of the town that is now known
as State College?

The Friends of State College
concluded that the establishment
of a University post office would
apparently reverse the long-stand
ing policy of the Post Office De
partment as stated in the letter
quoted above.
The letter authorizing the es
tablishment of a campus post of
fice disclosed last night by Mc-
Lucas outlined the facilities need
ed by the University to establish
a post office.
These include approximately
600 square feet of space with heat,
light, and water to be supplied by
the University. The ' postal de
partment would provide the neces
sary furniture and equipment.

Name Not Established
In his letter, Eisenhower said
that the name • of the University
is not becoming established
throughout the state and nation
as it should.
"Every press release issued by
our institution carries the dateline
`State College' and this is natur
ally assumed by newspaper read
ers to be descriptive of the in

Eisenhower said that he has also
noted this confusion in his travels.
