The distribution of student tickets for athletic events has
taken several forms in the past, but those directly involved
feel the present system is the most equitable yet.
Joe Tiller, chairman of the Student Senate Athletic
Committee, said the present digit control release formula is
"the only fair way of doing it."
UNDER THIS system, pick-up is by the last two digits of
a student's Social Security number. With distribution
assignments roiaieu weeiuy, 11 ensures everyone an equal
chance of good seating sometime throughout the year,
according to Tiller.
Ray Fair cloth, who is beginning his 13th year as athletic
ticket manager, said the control release program is in its
third year of existence, having been implemented in the fall
of 1976. A class system allowing for special consideration of
graduate, law and senior students preceded this program ,
he said.
Under the class system the best tickets (the ones closer to
mid-field) were set aside for those students who could pick
them up at anytime convenient to them, Faircloth said.
Juniors sonhnmnrps anri frpshmpri w#>rp crivpn in
decending order by class, he said, which usually meant
; reshmen and in many cases sophomores were seated in the
er*1 zone at every game.

McDANIEL SAID that he wa$ in law school at the time,
and although he had completed his undergraduate training c
at USC, many others who were getting special con- i
sideration had been here no longer than freshmen whn were .
getting virtually no consideration. r

A FIRST-COME, first-served basis was used prior to the
class system, Faircloth said. 1
Title XIII, Chapter 1200 of the Student Government Code,
is the bill responsible for changing to the control release t
program and was authored by Preston McDaniel, who is r
now court specialist in criminal justice for the governor's s
office. t
McDaniel said the move hurt the juniors and seniors who
had come up under the old system but that, "A lot of people t

"It was designed as an improvement and it is an improvement,
"McDaniel said. "This way it gives everyone a \
chance to get a good ticket." *
McDaniel said he feels that the program has never been
properly implemented, making it harder on everyone. He
said that in the writing of the bill, attention was given to ,
details as well as to major features. To his knowledge, some
of these details are not being carried out as written.

A PROVISION calling for first-day distribution at the

Roger Booco, student ticket manager, said the Russell
louse facilities have accomodated the lines very well, and
'Location itself doesn't make much difference." Booco said
he move originated when the distribution conflicted with
egistration three years ago, and remained because of
itudent preference. "It was a student feeling that they liked
he Russell House and its central location," Booco said. .

ickets for the Furman game in a manner similar to the
)ld special preference system, but Tiller said there are no
?pecial privileges now. "It's like anything else," Tiller said.
'It was the first week of distribution and we have new
people working. You will have problems, especially with
such an emotional thing as tickets."
TILLER SAID, "I just don't think anyone is a privileged
character" summing up the whole approach of the present
system.
