Government and the Athletic
Department.
Phillip Brown, a Carolina lav

"The present system is defeating

Jrown said he feels nonirtered
groups are at a disadntage
during ticket pickup,
mall, independent student
cks spend a great amount of
le collecting IDs corresponding
the pickup schedule. With a new
stem, this time can be used for
ademic purposes," Brown said.
Brown's plan will benefit mainly
e "enthusiastic" students who
int midfield football seats and
idcourt seating for basketball
imes.
BROWN HAS submitted a bill to
lange tne ucKet system to me
udent senate, but 110 action has
jen taken yet.
"My impression is that I have no
ipport in either the Student
overnment or the Athletic
eDartment." Brown said. "The
thletic Department will probably
ist sit on the proposal and nothing
ill be done."
Brown is currently circulating a
jtition in order to hold a student
iferendum on the issue. Fifteen
ircent of the student body must

TICKET MANAGER Roger
ooco said Brown's plan would
reate "crowd hysteria." "Ticket
istribution is basically a method*
f crowd control. In 1968, we had a
rst-come basis for a basketball
ame and a riot resulted. Our
resent system is tne best and l see
o reason to change it."
"Brown's whole concept is aburd.
No one in his right mind
wild want a plan like that," ac
