LET 'EM EAT CAKE
TO YOU, Di Mai quit dt and others on the Ar
-osts: Coutse committee, we address out sermon
today. "Let 'em Eat Cake"
For the past several years the Artists' Course
has been losing the support d students until this
year less than 600 tickets were sold to students
This small m noiity out of an applominate 7,000
enrollment is an indictment against the Artists'
Course
We know the put poe of the Artists' Course is
educational as well as entertaining and that the
:committee hopes to' get artists who will instill
'in the hearts of theu• audience a taste foi the cul
:tural and classical.
- Well, why not get such al fists, but throw in at
:least one number
_with popular appeal for stn.
-dents—a number which has all the abandon and
-spirit of modern youth and will make them fight
'for tickets.
- ^ Give them. the staid and classical, the cultural
:bread of life. But also let 'ens eat cake—swing
-bands, frothy speakers or touring stage stars.
