Tickets will also be distributed Friday at 1 p.m.
Students must have a KUID with a current fee
fleece. Students will not be allowed to pick up tickets
for anyone but themselves.
Konzem said that the ticket office would like to encourage students to pick up their tickets as soon as possible. Several hundred all-sports football tickets still remain in the ticket office.
"We don't know if the students ordered the tickets and just didn't come back or if they bought the ticket just for basketball," Konzem said.
Konzem said the ticket office wanted to know if tickets were wanted so that leftovers could be-said.
Now, there is no way for the office to know if the tickets are wanted, except by checking enrollment
to fans who were not able to obtain season tickets.
Next year, the ticket office plans to have a forfeit date for ticket pick-up.

KU to play for pride in final three games

After suffering a resounding 64-3 beating by Oklahoma Saturday, Kansas football head coach Bob Valesente said yesterday he felt becoming a contributing author to a book he's reading.
"You know the book, 'Tough Times Never Last,' Tough Guys Do?" Gilesense said. Well, my secrecy about it is that I'm thinking about submitting a chapter.
The Jayhawks followed a three game winning streak earlier this season with a three-game losing streak. The Oklahoma game was the second worst defeat in Kansas and the third worse defeat in Oklahoma score more points against Kansas than any other team had done this season in an entire game.
"About the middle of the third quarter, I was looking for the light plug to put out the lights," Valesen said about the game, which was only the second played under lights in Memorial Stadium.
Kansas has three games left in the season; two are on the road. Its only home game remaining is against Alabama, and hayhawks have not beaten since 1968.
"We're playing for our pride now," Valese said.
Injuries, compounded by the loss of personnel over the last few years, have Valesente concerned about the lack of depth on the team.
To add to the list of woes, tailback Arnold Snell sprained his left knee in the game and was not able to practice yesterday. He is probable for Saturday's game against Colorado, said Lynn Bott, director of sports medicine.
Others injured in the game were Pete Popovich, offensive tackle, right knee sprain, and defensive end David White, left knee sprain. Bott said it was doubtful that White would recuperate by Saturday.
Personnel switches will continue for the Jayhawks to accommodate injuries and performances, Valesente said.
One position that seems to go back and forth between two players is at center.
Phil Forte, who had held the starting position for the first six games of this season as well as the past two years, lost his bid two weeks ago for the Oklahoma State game. He did not start against Oklahoma either. In his place was junior Teddy Newman.
"Teddy is showing tremendous strides," Valesente said. "It's not so much what Phil's not doing as what Teddy has been doing. Phil is a good strong player, so is Teddy. That's a good situation when players have to fight for a position. I wish I had that at every position."
Competition for positions is something Valesente desires in his
Another position that almost saw a change in the Oklahoma game was that of quarterback. Starting quarterback Mike Orth was hurt early in the second quarter when he was hit in the bicep by an Oklahoma player's helmet. He returned to the game after a time out was called but
"I like guys that are upset by the fact they are not playing," he said. "That means they have a tremendous desire to play."
If they don't, 500 ticketholders may be without seats for the season operator in two weeks.

concerned about whether the additions will be completed in time for the first game because of delays last year when 200 to 300 seats were added to the floor area of the field house.

The installations were late because supplies did not arrive on time, something that could possibly happen again.
“it's kind of a joke around here,” said Monte Johnson, athletic director. “After last year, you've got to wonder.”
not before backup quarterback Kelly Donohoe started to warm up.

shirt, has never played playing
"I don't ever see a quarterback controversy coming up." Valesente said. "We will handle it like the Norseth and Orth situation. The best man will play, the second best won't. Spring is the time to make moves. I see competition between the two of them, but that's good."
Orth was redshifted last year when Mike Norseeth, former Kansas player, was chosen starting quarterback.
"The thing we've got to do now is get ourselves prepared to play against a very powerful team — Colorado." Valesne said.
