To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In view of the apparent lack of any sense of fairness or regard for others on the part of many of those who went "rush" to the Symphony Concert in Sanders Theatre Thursday evening, it seems necessary that someone point out that certain rules ought to govern the sale of admission tickets for which a line forms. If the authorities do not lay down such rules, the student body ought to observe theem out of a sense of decency.
I doubt if there is a man in Harvard who would attempt to break into the middle of a line instead of taking up his position at the end, but from some lack of moral sense, few seemed to hesitate to hand their money to friends near the box-office who apparently stood a better chance of getting tickets. So far as the effect on those behind goes, the result is the same in either case. It is obviously unfair, and to prevent the recurrence of such a practice I suuggest that the sales of "rush" seats at the coming concerts be managed in Cambridge as they are in Boston, and that no person be allowed to buy more than one of the twenty-five cent tickets. If some such rule is not adopted, there will soon be no order whatever in the line, for everybody will be pushing and pulling in an effort to hand his money to the man nearest the window, and football tactics will be adopted in the "rush" for the Symphony.
