Fortunately, Beil said, no one Was ever reported seeing the movie. National radio publicity has been, confined to two big shews in the last three years'—Vox Pop and a Spotlight Band. Vox Pop’s surprise gift of a lion cub to the College gave Lou Bell a good story but •probably caused him more shaky moments 'than 'at any time since he’s been on the job as publicity director. “There 1 was,” he says, ‘hvith a lion on my hands. I hadn’t asked for him, and I didn’t know what to do with him.” Mascot Rescued Professors James F. Shigley and William T. S. Thorp finally came to 'the rescue of 'both the lion and its new guardian, but finally (and happily) says- Bell, the mascot got so homesick that he had to be sent back to the Bronx , zoo-—another good story. In Spite of his trials, Bell’s sym pathies are .with the .lion. “Every year,” he says, “some ~ reporter comes along with an idea about a story on this lion. One of these days I’ni. going to end it for good by writing'a first-person story in behalf ,of the lion, ..telling how happy he is to be back at home' where , nobody bothers him with interviews—like this one.” 85 NROTC Men To Leave For Fleet Dufy in March Leaving for fleet duty at the end of this, semester will. be 85 men from the NROTC unit- at the College/ In accordance with Navy de partment orders, -all trainees were -required to. make a choice between, remaining in NROTC or returning,;,to-the .fleet. -Men -who chose to stay at the College must remain on active duty- in. the NROTC; regardless of points ac cumulated towards discharge, un til July i.
