While attending this p weekend's
football game against N.C.
State, something came to my
attention which I feel warrants
mentioning. A group of friends and
I entered the student section of
Scott stadium at about 12:45 in
order to get good seats for the
game. We wanted to sit down in
front, but as we arrived at about
the fourteenth row we were told
that the seats we wanted were
reserved for a fraternity. Angered
by this situation which occurs at
almost all games, I asked caustically
to see the gentleman's "reserved
seat ticket" - of course, he
had no such thing so my friends
and I seated ourselves. This fraternity
man had told us that 5 seats
were being held for fraternity
members and their dates. To my
knowledge there is only one reserved
section for season ticket
holders, and, despite this, I witnessed
several older couples - some
with children - being denied a seat
in these fraternity-held sections.
Therefore, it seems-only fair to
everyone that if any organization,
fraternity or otherwise, wishes to
have good seats they can arrive
early enough to seat the whole
group, without sending several
"guards" to hold an entire section
where others wish to sit. If my
friends and I can go early to get
choice seats so can anyone else.
