The three-part plan is directed towards organizations which, de rire to increase their social activi ties without too much added ex pense. Under any of the plans, the University Theater will sell all or part of the house to a group for a certain sum. GROUPS SF.I.U TICKETS The group in turn will sell its t ickets in any way it sees fit while the University Theater will bear all other technical charges, includ ing tax, royalty charges, produc tion costs and extra expenses. Under the plan, an organization buying the house may make a profit of no less than $35 and a maximum profit of $201. In addi tion, the theater will undertake to provide all the other necessary re quirements to make the evening a complete social venture without extra effort on the part of the organization, other than the sell ing, or disposing of its tickets. THREE PLANS Three plans are offered. Under plan A, University Theater will aell all 401 seats to an organization for $200. These seats, when resold at the established price of $1.00, would gross $401, or a net profit c*f $201 to the organization.
