Artists' Course
Seals Available
In General Sale
Students and faculty members
still desiring Artists' Course tic.:
kets be able to-purchase them
_today in a general sale which will
also be.open to out-of-town appli
cants.
Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, commit
tee chairman, announced yesterday
that 274 seats in the three price
groupS remained at the end of the
two . day sale: One hundred thirty
of these are stage seats which are
priced at $5.50. The same price tic
kets are available to 66 main floor
seats.
Lower priced admissions are not
so numerous with six and one, re
spectively, • available on the main
•floor and balcony at $3.50. Main
floor seats also remain at the $4.50
price and can accommodate 47
per Sons. 'Twenty-four balcony seats
remain at $5.50.
Necessity for continuing the sale
was attributed by Dr. Marquardt
to the rumor which had been
spread about the College and town
that students had started fornia
tion of the ticket line as early as
midnight.
"The committee has no means
of preventing the formation of
early lines and has done nothing
to encourage .the practice. When
word spread about that students
had formed by 12 p.m. Wednesday,
some of the old retainers among
the faculty. came to •the conclusion
that: ft": - Wiinid "be necessarY . to
gather earlier than usual to as
sure - themselves of the best loca
tion," explained Dr. Marquardt.
- Plans for changing or facilitating
the system of ticket sales , are being
considered by the committee and
a statement will be released soon.
"The use of a proxy is a real
convenience to faculty members
and townspeople, but the use of
a lottery appears to be meeting
with increasing popular favor as
a•way of eliminating the all-night
line. It is possible that the com
mittee will consider taking a poll
among its subscribers this year
to ascertain the popular attitude
towards allocated by lottery," re
ported Dr. IMarquardt.
