ASC works on basketball sellout
Are you a KU student wanting to buy a basketball season ticket? Forget it, they sold out at 4:15 yesterday afternoon.
In 1936, the All-Student Council limited the number of student basketball season tickets sold to 7,000. Now ASC members feel the number is outdated and want it changed.
At their meeting Tuesday night, the ASC set up a committee to study the problem.
"I can't speak for Stinson but I think he tended to agree with us that there is a problem and that more tickets should be available to the students," Craig said.
Committee member Jim Craig, Waterville, Ohio, fifth year pharmacy student said members of the committee met with Wade Stinson, athletic director and Stinson seemed concerned.
Sky team seeks highs in Florida
At the present time, only 7,000 season tickets are provided for nearly 17,000 students. Last year, tickets were sold out on Thursday also.
A three-man team will represent the University of Kansas at the National Collegiate Parachute meet in Florida over Thanksgiving vacation.
K-State, Oklahoma, Missouri and other Big Eight schools will be among the more than 40 colleges competing.
The meet consists of two events, said John Koenig, Rochester, N.Y., senior, one of the participants. Accuracy is judged by how close one can come to a target. Style is judged by how well one performs maneuvers in free-fall.
Mike Canella, Melean, junior and Dave Hammel, Wichita freshman, are the two other KU participants.
Craig said while the group talked about the problems involved they did not come up with a solution.
"We talked about the possibility of raising the price of student season tickets so we could afford to raise the allotment to students. We talked about limiting the sales of season tickets to non-University people."
Craig said finding a solution would take a while and probably no action would be taken this year for those students who did not receive tickets.
Monte Johnson, assistant athletic director, said season tickets sold out three hours earlier than last year.
A record will be kept of the number of students who came in after they were sold out, Johnson added, so the athletic department will have some idea how many students still wanted tickets.
"There were about 20 people waiting in line when we sold the last tickets and a few more came in after that. There will still be 500 single game tickets available to students for every home game." Johnson said.
Johnson said that at only two home games last year were all 500 single game student tickets sold.
Students wishing to purchase
single game tickets can do so for 50 cents per game. There are 12 home basketball games this season.
Purchasers of season tickets this year had much less of a problem with waiting in line than last. This year, four waiting lines were used to facilitate traffic, as opposed to the two used last year.
Bar Girls Thrive In Buenos Aires
BUENOS AIRES (UPI) — The Buenos Aires area has about 3,000 bar girls who push drinks valued at a total of 14 million pesos ($40,000) daily.
The "coperas," as they are called, keep one-third of the price of the drink. The rest goes to the house.
