Budget Ticket: Fun For Your Money 'Come onel Come alll This way for the 'Greatest Value on Earthl' lt's stu- pendous-the Budget Ticketl' That was the theme of the l952 Budget Ticket campaign. This bargain offered the students a circus of events. Adding to the main attractions of pre- vious seasons, the Budget Ticket had some new features: admission to the homecoming rally, and to wrestling and swimming meets, plus an adult budget ticket for the young in heart. This versa- tile performer also helped out with club dues, publications, and discounts on ad- mission to dramatic productions. Under the direction of the ringmaster, Mr. Melvin, and managers Nana Stroh- meier and Pat Jewell, the campaign ex- ploded into an all-time high of 93.2 per cent. But while the performers of this circus lasted only a few thrill-packed weeks, students who attended the show enjoyed the benefits of the Greatest Value on Earth all year long.

Mr. Cameron and Mr. Melvin, sponsors of the New Orleans and Washington trips, enjoyed a week of luxury along with the enthusiastic students. Fascinating tours, plush din- ners, hotels and Steamers, and many good times typified the s p r i n g journeys. Travelers viewed everything from Negro spiritual singing in New Or- leans to the Smithsonian ln- stitute in Washington. After six lively days on their own the excursionists re- turned no worse for wayfaring and eager to tell anyone who would listen about their senti- mental journey.
