VOL. 45—No. 58
Tickets Available
To June 10 for
Artists' Series
Students planning to attend the
College’s 1947-48 Artiste’ Series
should get their orders lor tickets
in before June HO, according to
Dr. Carl E. Marquardt. chairman
of the Artists’ Course committee.
Dr. Marquardt pointed out that
if students indicate their support
of the series by subscribing to it
in the way previous courses would
lead one to expect, the course
could undoubtedly be continued
afte r next fall, on a two-ndght
basis. He added that the fact that
the course next fall will be offer
ed two nights practically doubles
the cost of the series.
Seating Capacity Decreases
The seating capacity, however,
will not be doubled, since tile pro
posed changes to be made in
Schwab Auditorium during the
summer will lessen the seating ca
pacity by approximately 150 seats,
or 800 seats for the two nights. In
stead of selling 1383 seats, as in
previous seasons, the Artists’
Course committee will thus have
24i? 4 seats to sell.
Dr. Marquardt said that the ad
verse spring ticket sale an at
. tempt to. give students and faculty
first chance to obtain seats. If a
sufficient number of seats are! not
sold this spring, Dr. Marquardt
pointed out; the sale may have to
be opened during the summer to
outsiders who would like to at
tend. Some seats,.will be saved for
new students coming to the cam
pu s in the fall, but the Commit
tea does not know as yet how
mrny seats that will be.
Fall Ticket Sale .
“For students who are returning
next fall,” said. Dr. Marquardt, “it
seems to be highly essential that
they get their orders in before
th'iy' leave, or at the latest by
June 10. Afte r ' that the chances
for good seat, will be greatly les
sened.” •.
