THE CITADEL PROTEST
A number of students have vehemently voiced protest at
the $8.00 price being charged to students for admission to
the Carolina-Citadel game in Charleston, December 3.
The ticket office here says that in communiques with the
Citadel athletic officials that office advises them that the
price is set and that The Citadel cannot do anything about it
at-this late date..
Students tickets have always been an accepted part of this
game In the years when it was played at Orangeburg but
after a year's lapse, the garhe moves to Charleston and stu
dent tickets are tossed out of the window with no reason for
such action given. This at first seems presumptuous on the
Citadel's.part but this thing of leaving the students out in
the cold isn't really anything new.
Maryland, in the game with the Gamecocks several weeks
ago, did not send student tickets to the university. And
strangely enough, North Carolina wouldn't even accept stu
dent tickets for their followers when the ticket office here
offered such tickets to them. .
Georgia Tech of course did see some reason for letting
visiting students in at a reduced price. That is, if you got your
ticket before Wednesday. If you wait until game time to buy
one it will soak you $3.00.
From the action of teams mentioned above it doesn't seem
that The Citadel is unique in refusing tickets at reduced
prices. However, they have made a couple of concessions.
The tickets sent here are between the 40 and 50 yard lines.
If you want to save 40 cents wait until you get to Charleston
to purchase a ticket. They have tickets up to the 5-yard line
for $2.60. Besides The Citadel has promised that they would
provide student tickets for us next year.
A NOTE ON TRAINING
Intramural football starts within the next couple of weeks,
so a word about training might be in order. But since all of
the old rules have been set forth a thousand or so times it will
probably be better to illustrate the importance of clean liv
ing with this story.
Several years ago Duke University's boxing team was
scheduled for a match in Charl6tte. There happened to be
somewhat of a greenhorn on the Duke team who paid little
attention to diets and such stuff in connection with his
physical fitness.
Before the fight in Charlotte this fellow went into one of
the Charlotte restaurants and ate a huge hamburger, downed
a milk shake or so and ate various other items. The fight
sarted aid this young boxer wvent out, to get hSAn.
Before long his opponent tapped him in the stomach a
few times and the Duke boxer became violently ill. In fact
he was so sick for a while he didn't know much of anything
except he was certain that he was going to die.
Well, he finished the fight and he didn't die. In fact
he lived to come to the. University here as present head of
the News Service and a professor of Journalism. So if you
want a few tips on training see Mr. Bob Cranford over at
the News Service, who trained on raw eggs the rest of his
boxing days at Duke.

an upset may be the result.
