Carolina students pass through ticket distribution Friday morn Distributiol -From Page 1 raising hell, but I sure hope the tickets I get tomorrow are good." Little did he know that the seniors and graduate students would be the only ones spared the agony of the Carolina Coliseum heavens. Bob Myers said, "I am going to be sore for a month." He probably expressed the feeling of many other students' who were bedded down on the cement Thursday night. The coldness and the sleeping surface brought out humor in the students who were waiting for tickets. At long last the Friday morning pick-up had arrived. It was eight o'clock and the doors began to open. People rolled up their I sleeping bags and made ready for I the entry into the warm Coliseum 3 air. The joy and the frivolity of the c night before disappeared as had I the contents of the many empty A six-packs. Roger K. Bocco, head of ticket distribution, was understandably wary of the ons.laught of the Carolina 2000. In the early going he shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk about it yet." As it appeared that things would go, smoothly during the latter stages of the first pick-up time, Bocco outlined his plans for the f day. "We will be holding tickets back until arrival of the scheduled pick-up times so that people can come and go knowing that there are still tickets left." The process was slower than most people hoped it would be. Bocco said, "It has to be a slow process, but it is only for the protection of the legitimate students who stayed out all night. It is working because we have weeded out a lot of people who were not suppose to be here." At 9:15 the memories of the Notre Dame pick-up of last year became reality, much to the dismay of Bocco and the many students waiting in line. Due to a misunderstanding, the people who were to pick up ticets at 9:30 ha -Z;I OP I :heckpoint at Coliseum aftea Ing at the has probli formed a separate line of their Dwn. A shoving match ensued as the people scheduled for 9:30 pick-up claimed that they had.been in formed by student worker Steve Painter that they would be allowed to pick up tickets on schedule, despite the numbers still waiting from the eitht o'clock time period. Painter contradicted many other itudents when he said, "They isked me if they should formtwo ines and I told them to do what bey wanted to do, but we we're going to work things the way we iave been doing them the whole rear.' Despite Painter's stand, shouts -ang loud and clear as students felt hat they had a legitimate claim to heir position in line. One student relled, "I have been here since five '1clock yesterday and I am not loing to the end of that line." nothr quppe, "Yu'r goig t Finallyln at coloiseu wast eache andth te23 n h Office heprobdens pel sheudt for :30 pcc orm k 4-8 p.m.t ore Sndae Pa4te that t oul betallowe Capic up71-ck 80 onscedule, Fapievoenurtil aTpng B~ tecaus 'cok e peod.

Things went so smoothly that by 10:15 the lines had all but disap peared. Bocco classified the people who were causing problems as those who had never been there before or who were attempting to cheat their way in. Bocco proposed an alternate plan that would eliminate the digital pick-up but would retain the hourly safeguard. Bocco said, "Everybody would be in the same line with an equal chance of receiving tickets of their liking." So, after almost 24 hours of partying, bedlam, and chilling temperatures, it was all over. Carolina Coliseum was draped in a wasteland of deserted coolers, empty beer bottles and forgotten sleeping bags, not unlike the af termath of the dying rock concert. However, there were indeed spoils to be claimed by the fortunate few. Grinned one student, fondling his ducat , "Section N, Row BB." What needs to be added to that? -TIME eeded now!
