At CCNY he was a stu dent of . Morris Raphael Cohen, whom he called “one of the most distinguished philosophers in con temporary America.” He received his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at Columbia University. One of the hardest decisions he had to make, he said, was to choose be tween majoring in history or phil osophy at Columbia. He finally decided to take intellectual his tory because, it combined both'. While.in college, Nelson worked as a. newspaper correspondent covering religious news for the New York Times. He has also Dickson said the Nittany Lion shrine and the model were copy righted to prevent commercial re production. The model, which bears a copyright symbol, is the only authorized replica of the Nittany Lion. Both the authorized model and the Nittany Lion shrine bear copyright symbols. The copyright was taken but by Heinz Warneke, sculptor of the shrine, after urging by mem bers of the Fine Arts department, Dickson said. Although not posi tive when the copyright •, Was granted, Dickson said he thought it was granted, in 1942. Copy rights on the first application ap ply for 28 years. A second' grant may be obtained for. another 28 years.

Available information indicates that the unauthorized lion models are made by a West coast potter. acted as consultant to publishing firms. In 1933 Nelson started .teaching.

IgglPg 4, Six Firms Cancel Interviews Because too few or no' students had indicated interest in employ ment with their firms, - approxi mately six companies have been forced to cancel scheduled appear ances of representatives to inter view graduating seniors this semester, College Placement Ser vice officials declared yesterday. Approximately another 12 firms have seen only the two or three students who showed interest. in the positions open. “This can be traced to one ma jor cause—lack of students’ in terest,” placement officials said. “Two . common . misconceptions are responsible for this lack of interest,” they said. “They are the false idea that companies are interested in top students only, and the equally false notion that draft-eligible students are not be ing offered jobs. We would like to emphasize that this is not the case.” Students may . make appoint ments for interviews at the Col lege Placement Office, 112 Old Main. Twenty-six firms will interview students in 18 curriculums this 'week. Sixteen firms are looking for students in mechanical engineer ing, 13 in electrical engineering, 13 in civil engineering, 10 in in dustrial engineering, seven in commerce and finance, seven in chemistry, six in chemical engi neering, four in aeronautical en gineering, four in metalurgy, three in mathematics, .three in physics, two in labor-management relations, two in arts and letters, two in accounting, and one each in architecture, industrial psychol ogy, mining engineering, and .pe troleum and natural gas.
