Navy Game Tickets Complicated

Turning one's mind to football,
which is difficult enough to do in
the autumn at the University, has
now become a springtime necessity
for all students planning to attend
the September 11 game with Navy.
This is according to ticket
declaration policies implemented
for the game and recently made
public by University Hall.

The guidelines are similar to
those followed for last season's
Army game but new wrinkles have
been added. Prospective ticket
buyers must declare for their seats
at U Hall sometime between now
and September 1 and, when placing
their order, will be required to
pony up with the refundable $6
cost of the ticket.

Upon payment the buyer will
receive a game receipt which he
can, upon receiving his tickets in
the mail around August 15 and
attending the game, present at U
Hall for a refund between the dates
of September 20 and October 1. No
refunds will be made to those
failing to register for the 1971 Fall
Semester.

A lack of ID cards is the
underlying reason behind the whole
ticket run-around with the result
being that a 1970-71 will have to be
produced when buying the tickets
and attending the game while an ID
of 1971-72 vintage will be asked for
when applying for the refund.

In addition to the student
freebie, one date ticket may be
purchased for $5 and an unlimited
number of guest tickets can be had
a $6 a crack. The ticket office at U
Hall will be open from 8:30 to 5:30
to handle all this with payment
demanded on the spot.

No refunds will be available on
the date and guest tickets and those
not attending the game will also
have to kiss the student ticket
refund money goodbye.

As far as the rest goes, other
information supplied by U Hall
includes a limit of only one date
ticket per student, and a stipulation
that students wishing to sit together
must declare for their seats
simultaneously. U Hall officials' will
also turn thumbs down on student
ticket requests' made on the day of
the game.

As the Navy game is one of only
live Cavalier home contests it might
behoove football fans to wade
through the red tape and buy
tickets anyway. After all, throwing
out the axiom that time is money,
they are free.
