THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 7. 1954 Concert Ticket Sale Decreases Student sales for the Commun ity Concert series are down con siderably from last year, David McKinley, chairman of the con cert association membership cam paign, said yesterday. According to McKinley, the en tire seating capacity of Schwab Auditorium was sold before noon the third day of last year’s cam paign. Last year many students could not buy tickets for the con certs because of the lack of space, he said. Season tickets for the concerts are still available at 204 Old Main or from volunteer workers.. A recomrhendation for a second series of concerts, so all students could see them, was offered by Kirk Garber, head of a workshop on cultural and social aspects. McKinley was concerned about the slow start in sale of tickets this season and he stated that one of the chief reasons for establish ing the concert series was for the benefit of the students. This year’s membership cam paign is the fifth to be held and will end at noon on Saturday if all the tickets are not sold by then. There are 1215 seats in Schwab Auditorium selling for $6 apiece. At the end of the campaign a local committee will arrange the definite program for the year. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orches tra has been scheduled but the date will not be definite until the rest of the program has been arranged. The syiriphony had to be booked in advance because they require a week’s notice for any appearance.
