Officials want a large crowd for the nationally televised California game
By Kristi Fogler Kansan staff writer
Don't be worried about getting a ticket to Thursday night's Kansas-California football game.
To increase the student participation in the game, the Athletic Department announced yesterday it would allow students with a valid KUID into Thursday night's game for free.
Students who want to attend the game but do not have tickets can enter the stadium after 6 p.m. through Gate 35. Seating will be open for those students.
Bernie Kish, director of ticket operations and sales, estimated that as of last week, 20,000 tickets had been sold for the California game. But Kish estimated 40,000 people, including KU students, would show up for the game. Memorial Stadium seats more than 50,000.
Kish said that at the beginning of the year.

As you progress through KU, several services offered at the center can be invaluable.

We recommend scheduling two appointments — one during the junior year and another immediately prior to an actual interview."
The Hire-a-Hawk Program can help you contact graduates who are willing to assist in job hunting. "We are fortunate to have KU alumni in many parts of the country," said Henry. "The Hire-a-Hawk Program has been very successful in putting graduating students in contact with a network of KU
