A. ticket windows in Old Main today to select seats and complete the sale. Faculty, townspeople and others are to receive their priority num bers today. The current. Artists' Course will probably be the last for the dura tion, according to Dr. Carl E. Mar quardt, committee chairman. Increasing difficulties with transportation, which may cut down or eliminate entirely the possibility of filling engagements on the road, together with the un dertainties that face the college community in' the future, are sev eral reasons why the course may be eliminated until the war ends. The effect of the $25,000 Ceiling on earnings is also another factor, the significance of which is not entirely clear in its application to the local situation, Dr. Marquardt stated. "Our local patrons are not al ways conscious of the difficulties we have had in persuading some of the outstanding artists in recent years to accept an engagernent on the Artists' Course even at the fig ures quoted by their manage ment," said the committee chair man. selves to a restricted number of titular cause for congratulating THREE CENTS Tickets Today
