Students Love' Lion
Alex’ happiest moments result
from a rousing cheer or a good
natured laugh from the audience
after one of his mirthful pranks.
His following - the players onto
the field, pretense in guarding the
goal posts, and mixing with the
fans make the Lion a congenial
mascot of which the students are
proud.
Students display their affec
tion for the Lion in many ways.
When the fluffy feline entersjthe.
stands to cavort with coeds, he is
seiged with offers of cokes and
cigarettes. Just-to touch the serv
ice-beaten costume is looked upon
as an honor and thrill to many
students, especially the frosh.
On one occasion, the Pehn State
mascot found himself being push
ed around by two drunken non
students. Before he realized what
was happening, a band' of stu
dents. had marshalled forces and
was rallying to his protection.
“A rigid physical exam was the
prime requisite of my eligibility
for the job,” Alex said. “I lose on
the average of 38 pounds during
the'-course of a season. Last year
in the Villanova game alone, I
lost 9% pounds.”
Speaking of the need for a new
Lion suit, Alex explained that a
Aew costume would probably last
eight years.
“I’ve been trying to get the
College to set up a fund whereby
a small amount would be taken
from each year’s class dues,” he
said. “This would keep a reserve
that could be used in years to
come.”
West Virginia's mountaineer,
Princeton’s tiger, and Pitt’s Pan
ther are okay, but as far as the
students of Penn State are con
cerned, nothing can ever replace
the friendly Lion.
