One hundred twenty-five gallons of beer will be ready to flow from three beer pumps when the Freshman Smoker gets under way in Sanders Theatre on Friday, March 3.
The Smoker Committee, headed by Michael G. Yamin '53 is rounding out plans for some two hours of entertainment. It has signed two Boston night club acts. Alice O'Leary and Gay Guarino, a singing team from the Darbury Room, and Chick Carmen, a comic from The French Village. The Crimson Stempers will fill in the musical support.
No big names appear on the program, but the committee still hopes to land one before the big night rolls around.
Part of the festivities, which have been titled "The Follies Bourgeois," will be broadcast over station WHRB and Radio Radcliffe.
For their 60 cents the freshmen will get beer, cokes, doughnuts, sandwiches, ice cream, cigarettes, and tobacco to smoke in over 700 corn cob pipes stamped with the name Harvard Freshman Smoker.
Another feature of the evening will be the raffling of a radio and such other baubles as are donated by local merchants. Tickets for the raffile will go on sale in the Union this Saturday.
