To: Campus Community

From: Public Information Office

Our Sammy the Slug mascot, nationally ranked in a recent ESPN poll

(http://www.ucsc.edu/news_events/text.asp?pid=1933), will be showcased on CBS's popular Sunday Morning show this weekend as part of the network's promotion of the Final Four men's basketball championships. Bill Geist, a CBS correspondent and regular on the show, will wear our slug suit (on loan from the campus).

CBS's local affiliate, KION-TV, airs the Sunday Morning show from 7 to 8:30 a.m. The San Francisco affiliate, KPIX-TV, airs the program from 6 to 7:30 a.m. Bill Geist's segment usually takes place during the show's final half hour.
