Campus Groups May Buy Theater Ticket Blocks At Discount For Resale BY NORMAN ANDERSON All organized houses or groups can still get in on the chance of a lifetime to make a little hard, cold, cash. The University Theater block peat ticket plan, where nothing is lost, everything is gained, is still In effect. Now you can put up fifty bucks, make a hundred and net fifty bucks. It's as simple as all that, and just means a little detailing of the plan offered by the Theater last week to organizations which wish to buy out the house for the production of “Thunder Rock” starting next week. It works like this: Instead of one house trying to buy up the whole theater (.for $200) two or more houses buy out the theater for the same night. The cost is less. If four houses chip in, each putting up fifty dol lars and buy a hundred seats, then those seats (when sold, that is) will net fifty dollars profit. Sell ’em for a dollar apiece. That’s a hundred dollars. Knock off (he fifty you paid for the tickets, and you have fifty. There are aiiy number of varia tions on the original three plans offered by the Theater. A number of houses have already shown in terest, stated Mrs. LeJeaune Grif fiths, business manager, and with the assistance of a few other houses, the theater can be purch ased with no great expense on the part of any one house.
