AN UNDERGRADUATE NIGHT

Each year finds an increased demand for tickets to the theatre on the evening of the Yale game. The desire to attend the particular show which the football team is going to -- which this year is "Watch Your Step"--is such that at this time it is almost impossible to get seats there for that evening. Taking advantage of this demand, many theatres are charging $3.00 for tickets for that performance and as the entire house is bought up by an agency the purchaser must pay $3.350 per seat--an extortionate figure. Even at this price, however, there are many undergraduates who cannot procure seats.

From the point of view of the students, this is an unfortunate state of affairs. If the theatres are able to demand and get $3.00 for their tickets they cannot be blamed for doing so. It might be possible, however, to so arrange matters that members of the University desiring tickets could obtain them. The Athletic Association might buy out the house and put the tickets on sale to students--limiting the number for each man. If the Association should be willing to handle the matter for no remuneration, the agent's premium of 509 cents would be saved. This would maker an "undergraduates' night" at the theatre, putting the finishing touches to the day's festivities.

It would be an unquestioned advantage to the theatre from an advertising stand-point to sell out the house to students and if it so happened that there was more than one good musical show in Boston at the time, it might be possible to procure seats at less than $3.00 apiece.
