Cole Plays Garbo, Snubs Reporter
Nat King Cole, balladier who has sung his way to millions, took on a Greta Garbo guise Wednesday when he told a Hurricane reporter, “I just want to be left alone.”
Cole, who visited the Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery to see the "Family Of Man" exhibition, refused the reporter an interview but showed an unusual interest in the camera the photographer used to 'take his picture.
Protected from the thimble of fans that gathered to greet him by the entire gallery staff, Cole seemed to have lost his gilded voice or just decided he was to busy to “warble” a greeting.
The tall, lean Cole, whose unexpected appearance on campus was without fanfare, was accompanied by his wife who interjected quick “no’s” to several questions shot to him.
During his tour of the gallery, Cole tried to look oblivious to remarks and sideward glances. However, he
gave a half-smile to a coed who shattered the stillness with a loud, “Gee, it’s Nat King Cole.”
The Negro singer was presented a bound copy of the “Family of Man" book and given a personal tour of the gallery by Director Clay Aldridge.

THE CREATURE from the black lagoon? No, it was the Student Union Lake. Chink Whitten, assistant director of student activities, assists the “Mystery Man,” who was part of the Engineers Exposition, out of the lake. He was caught chasing the ducks, and following a hectic canoe race he surrendered. When asked what he was doing, he said, “I am not talking until the Engineers Exposition.”
