Marsh Sets 2 Jeeps
As Stamp Drive Goal
As the nation-wide Third War
o::ind Drive shifts into high gear,
the College stamps and bonds com
mittee under Chairman Richard B.
Marsh last night revealed plans
for having students ride through
to their goal in two jeeps. •
Although details of the campaign
remain as yet largely a series of
maybe's, Marsh said that the com
mittee has set the price of two
jeeps as the student aim.
So that purchasers need not be
satisfied with what corresponds to
catalogue buying, efforts are be
ing made to have one of the serv
ice vehicles transported to campus
and placed in front of Old Main.
To help spur sales, Laibe A.
Kessler and his committee are
completing plans for a Victory
Raffle during halftime at the State-
Bucknell football game next Sat
urday.
Using a super production number built aroiind Jane
Abramson's title number as an opener, Thespians' "Once Over
Lightly" will go before the footlights next Friday and Satur
day evenings.
The chorus will be featured in another .of Jane's songs,
"Any Friend of Hitler's Is a Friend•of Mirie," as well as in a
soft shoe routine to the tune of "Blue Room," with lyrics
rendered by 'Frank Fertig, V-12. The second number will be
