CHANCELLOR R. G. GUSTAVSON makes the first purchase of
tuberculosis Christmas seals as the first University drive for funds
to fight the disease is opened. Showing the seals to Dr. Gustavson
is Pat Heynen, co-chairman of the campus drive.
To help raise funds to purchase
a mobile X-ray unit for Lancaster
county, the university this week
began its initial drive to sell
$4,000 worth of tuberculosis
Christmas seals.
Pat Heynen and Bill Wiseman
are serving as co-chairmen for
the drive, which is scheduled to
extend until Dec. 21. Wiseman has
expressed a desire to make the
campaign an annual event if this
year's drive proves successful.

13, in the coliseum.
Spivak Plays.
Mortar Boards revealed yester
day that Charlie Spivak. the man
who plays the sweetest trumpet
in the world, has been signed as
the Ball band.
The New Haven boy protege
whose grade school experimenta
tions with a toy trumpet led him
to give up the medical career his
parents had planned and study
with a local symphony player,
rose last year to top rank among
the sweet bands of the land.
Spivak's meteoric rise to star
billing after an initial engagement
at New Rochelle's famous Casino
Gardens, proving ground for many
a fledgling aggregation, brought
him the cover position on Bill
board magazine recently.
Said Billard. in explaining
Spivak as their choice. "Since he
broke away in 1939 from a long
spell in commercial radio and
formed his own outfit, he's been
setting b o x -office precedents
wherever he's been. When his
outfit was barely a year old he
was booked into the Cafe Rouge
of the Hotel Pennsylvania in New
York and smashed the late Glenn
Miller's record there. His all-time
high hasn't been hit by any other
band since."
What started as a routine four
week stand at the Paramount
theater, showplace of name bands
for the Knickerbocker metropolis,
turned into a record-setting 10
week engagement. This third
showing at the Paramount made
the management decide on making
it five in a row. and they've
booked Spivak for 1947 and 1948.
contribution of 50 cents per stu
dent would fill the university
quota.
Representatives have been ap
pointed by each organized house
to collect contributions. To stimu
late donations, a plaque will be
presented to the house which buys
the greatest amount of seals.

If Lancaster county succeeds in
financing a $25,000 mobile X-ray
unit, it will be available for stu
dent X-rays each year. Last fall
the university borrowed the X
ray unit of the Nebraska state
