4- PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN D)ATLY . 1 ........._. SUN AY, OX EBER25, 1951 3 YEAR VACANCY: Shortage of Wolverines Plagues Bereft Museum h w4.. LOOK and LISTEN With MARILYN FLORIDIS j-tres S.ell Grrph 7,T By CYNTHIA BOYES Has anyone got a spare wolver- ine? The University Museum of Na- tural History has been looking for one ever since "Intrepidus," its former wolverine, died three years ago, but nowadays wolverines are pretty hard to acquire. * * * THE LAST ONE to inhabit the animal house at the Natural His- tory museum was a gift of a De- troit automobile company, which decided the Michigan football team needed a mascot. Not only did the company send a wolverine from the De- troit Zoo, but it also offered a prize of a new car for the most original name for the animal. The response was quick. The animal was dubbed "Intrepidus." Meeting of Peace SocietyPostponed A meeting of the Society for Peaceful Alternatives originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tomorrow has been postponed, according to officials of the group. The meeting will be held pend- ing recognition of the society by the Student Affairs Committee. "TREPPY" launched his career the day he arrived by appearing in the stadium for one. of the games. When the excitement of his debut was over, athletic director Field- ing Yost faced a problem: the mascot would need a home. The idea of having a wolver- ine rooming and boarding in the stadium was not too appealing, so Yost approached the museum to seek quarters for his wolver- ine. Treppy was welcome at the ani- mal house only on the condition that he not be taken out to attend any more football games. The ex- c it e me nt, museum officials thought, would be just too much for the animal. WITHIN TWO days after Trep- py took up residence behind the Zoology Museum, he was happy, serene and friendly. So friendly in fact that he began to feel the need for more human companion- ship. He left abruptly. Treppy led his captors-a merry chase but was finally headed off into a garage and caught by means. of a fish seine and garbage can. Treppy died three years ago and since then, all efforts to get a new wolverine have been in vain, Science-fiction, a new type of entertainment, is strongly compet- ing with the old time cowboy thriller to sweep the young TV watcher into the realm of make- believe. After having made its appear- ance in magazines and books, the science-fiction influence is now moving in on teleiision and serv- ing to not only stir up interest in the child, but his adult parent as well. * * DON DAVIS, executive producer of a CBS science-fiction show, Faculty Members Travel to Meeting Five faculty members of the education school are now on their way to Minneapolis where they will participate in the 45th annual convention of the American Voca- tional Association tomorrow through Saturday. The faculty members are: Prof. John M. Trytten, of the business education department; Almando A. Vezzani; Ralph C. Wenrich; Willard M. Bateson; and Frank Lanham. All five men are schedul- ed to present short talks or re- ports says that the programs are aimed not only at the small fry, but also at "kids of all ages." TV producers agree that sci- ence-fiction is opening up a new trend in adventure stories. Since TV, because of technical diffi- culties in production, is not as well prepared to do cowboy westerns, adventure programs are turning towards science-fic- tion. Directors of these video science- fiction shows find their audiences keenly aware of the scientific real- ities in these productions. On a recent science-fiction show a TV fan wrote in com- plaining that "your sound ef- fects had a 'swoosh' when an asteroid flashed by in outer space, but there's really no atmosphere to p r o d u c e a 'swoosh'." Here's a list for science-fiction TV fans: A five day a week serial, the p i o n e e r spaceship adventurer "Captain Video," (Dumont-TV); two Sunday afternoon shows- "Space Patrol," (ABC-TV) and "Out There," (CBS-TV); a three time a week adventure, "Tom Cor- bett, Space Cadet," (ABC-TV);. and an adult designed show, "Tales of Tomorrow," (ABC-TV). t {, I f m Marti Walker's Annual Mid-Season Store-Wide In order to make room for our Christmas. stock we are forced to reduce . . . to following merchandise!
