Maryland Ticket Pickup
To Begin Tonight At Five

By JOHN MARKON

After a slight delay,
University Hall now reports
that the tickets for the Dec. 8
Maryland basketball game are
hot off the presses and will be
ready for distribution tonight
at UHall after five. As of this
writing the Maryland tickets
are the only ones that have
arrived.

To pick up tickets, students
are instructed to bring along
their ID cards, which will be
asked for. Since all seats are
reserved, any group of students
wishing to sit together are
advised to appoint an
emissary and dispatch him to
UHall, IDs in hand, where he
will be able to reserve a block
of seats.

The number of seats
allotted for students has been
pegged at 3,800 with
reservations being taken until
Dec. 3. After that date, all
those students still ticketless
will be given first crack at the
supply of general admission
tickets. The hitch here is that
these seats will be sold to the
latecomers at $3 a tumble.

A limited number of date
tickets, also carrying a $3 price
tag, will be available on a first
come first served basis.

All of this is in compliance
with the Athletic Department's
new ticket policy, one designed
to remedy situations similar to
the mid-afternoon mob scene
suffered last year by anyone
who wanted a good vantage
point for the South Carolina
game. More stringent ticket
plans are in force now at all
ACC member schools.

For those looking to the
future, tickets for the next
home game, a Saturday night
opening against Baldwin-Wallace on Dec. 11, will not be
available until a later date. As
the bugs get worked out of the
program, tickets are expected
to eventually be available three
weeks in advance of game time.
