First come, have wait
Rain, wind, cold weather and no people made a lonely vigil this morning for four Kappa Sigma pledges.
John Balk, Shawnee Mission freshman; Rod Ross, Kansas City freshman; Bill Clarkson, Chicago freshman, and Steve Neill, Clay Center sophomore, had waited at the Information Booth since 6:30 a.m. to buy tickets for the Louis Armstrong Concert. They were buying tickets for their fraternity.
"Two are waiting inside the booth and I'm waiting out here," said Balk. "We're not going to stand at the end of the line. We thought there would be a long line, but I guess the weather kept them away.
"From 6:30 to 8:30 we saw only one other person waiting for tickets and she left because she has a class," said Balk.
This was not, however, their idea.
Charlie Gaynor, Ottawa senior and Kappa Sig social chairman, and Rusty Wells, Portland Ore., junior and All Student Council representatives, told the pledges to be at the booth to purchase 50 tickets for the house.
"We got picked because we don't have any morning classes," said Balk.

He said that while there was no accurate count of tickets sold he was sure the total was below 300.
And, officials say, if sales don't pick up, there is considerable doubt whether those students who bought the $25.50 tickets will be able to go to the Nov. 11 game.
Wells said ticket sales at a booth in the Kansas Union have not yet reached the 100 mark.
Ticket sales for the student migration to Boulder, Colo., are "going slowly."
"If we don't have from 300 to 400 tickets sold by the end of this week, the trip will have to be cancelled," said Rusty Wells, Portland, Ore., junior in charge of the migration.
Wells said 600 tickets were put on sale.
Ticket sales slow for CU migration
Wells explained the Union Pacific Railroad must know how many tickets have been sold by the end of the week. Railroad cars reportedly have to be brought in from Portland, Spokane or San Francisco.
"I have no idea how many tickets have been sold in organized living groups," he said.
Wells said he hopes to have an accurate indication of how things are going in the next few days.
He plans to contact the KU Alumni Association in Kansas City to see how many alumni will make the trip.
"I hope ticket sales will increase this week," Wells said.
